Can somebody change the article name to '100 m'? Bobblewik  (talk) 16:20, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

I'm agree, the name of the article should be "100 m" and not "100m". It can't be moved easily because previously 100 m was a redirection to other page, so an administrator must do the movement. --surueña 08:00, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)

I agree and we need to consider the same thing for 200m and 400m that are also incorrectly named. David D. 22:19, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support move also 200m and 400m (and there is no need to move the articles 4x100 m relay, 4x400 m relay). --surueña 07:54, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC)

• Support move to 100 m. James F. (talk) 00:58, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

'100 metres' rather than '100 m'

I notice that some articles put the unit name in full e.g. Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics - Men's 100 metres. Others use the symbol form. I am beginning to wonder if we should have a policy of using full unit names for article titles by default. Bobblewik  (talk) 21:51, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Concur with Bobblewik.—Theo (Talk) 15:41, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I would not object to such a change. David D. 16:27, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Should it be just 'X metres' or 'X metres <BLAH>' where BLAH is run, race or something else? Bobblewik  (talk) 11:58, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

metres ??

Isn’t the correct spelling meters? Both in Title and in the text it's spelled metres
