Shouldn't the term be metricated? Is there an equivalent term in other languages? Jackiespeel 17:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As for German the commen term is "Zollstock" (inch stick) or "Maßstab (measurement staff). "Meterstab" (meterstick) also exist but is used less prevalent. The markings are metric only in all cases. --Sannaj (talk) 13:10, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can we please have an article on the Meter stick[edit]
I am disappointed to see meter stick directed here, and then see that nothing is said about a meter stick in the article. Please create a separate artic on the meter stick, or at least cover it adequately in the article. Thanks!--Lbeaumont (talk) 18:56, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I Recently uploaded an image than can help. See: The meter stick is divided into 1,000 mm and labeled with 100 cm. --Lbeaumont (talk) 13:23, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for a fine image. Very nice to have a person in it for length reference. I put it in the article. Sauer202 (talk) 17:25, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This page is about one subject with two similar names: yardstick and meterstick. Since over 95% of the world population uses the metric system, the article name should reflect that. Therefore I moved the page from "yardstick" to "meterstick". A bold move, but one that is needed! Sauer202 (talk) 17:23, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have moved Yardstick to Meterstick once again. According to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers, the primary units chosen will be SI units. Sauer202 (talk) 00:05, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yardstick competition in economy should be an add on to the article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 149.132.125.122 (talk) 16:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]
When was the yardstick first invented and used? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.45.221 (talk) 18:58, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The cubit article has two nice pictures of cubit-rules. The English yardstick goes back at least to early Anglo-Saxon times. Yardsticks in general probably go back much earlier. Zyxwv99 (talk) 20:26, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
