Hello. Sorry I'm not much of a wikipedia editor so I thought I'd note down the error I spotted. In the Specification section for the 787-10 the MTOW is listed as "560,000 lb / 250,000 kg". But 560,000 lb would be 254,000 kg. So one of the figures is presumably wrong? TakeFlight (talk) 21:24, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
TakeFlight The weight in pounds is converted to kilograms using Template:Convert, which by default returns the converted value with the same number of significant figures as is used in the initial value. "560,000 lb" has two significant figures, thus the template returns "250,000 kg" which is rounded to include the same number of significant figures. - ZLEAT\C21:39, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Clear explanation but does not solve the issue that the MTOW shown is actually wrong. Is there a way to override the "Template Convert" (that seems to be not fit for purpose) Esquierman (talk) 08:06, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have edited the figure. Before condemning a template as not fit for purpose you could visit the extensive instructions for use that have been carefully produced over time and learn how to edit conversions. The link had already been provided for you (Template:Convert), the section you need is 4.3, Round to a given number of significant figures: |sigfig=. Values are deliberately rounded in text for readability reasons, in tables the conversions should be closer but not excessive, that is known as false precision.

After I swapped out the 787-8 pic for an ANA one (since the 787-9 and 787-10 section both use images of the launch customers and mention the date of first service), I realize there's 5 images of the ANA 787 and we may want to replace some of them with other airlines. Unfortunately they all have good reason to be there (ANA is the launch customer and first service customer, they were involved with the grounding, they're the largest operator, and the 787-8/787-9/787-10 section pics all use the launch customer images). Maybe the infobox pic? Or do we think things are fine as-is? 4300streetcar (talk) 17:59, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's an issue to have multiple images of the same airline, and most of the images in question fit very well into their respective sections of the article. That said, the infobox image is noticeably backlit, so it might be a good idea to discuss replacing that one. - ZLEAT\C20:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
