Your recent edits edit
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:50, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
Mile run edit
You edited the article to correct the distance accurate to the millimeter. The reason it was rounded was because the sport of Athletics, governed by the IAAF, rounds to the nearest centimeter to the disadvantage of the athlete. Timing equipment is only capable of about 5 cm of accuracy with current technology, and then it is rounded to the slower .01 of a second. So millimeters do not matter to the sport. Thousandth's of a second only count to break ties. Trackinfo (talk) 18:56, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
