I just removed a spam link someone added, and also a (now) dead link. But the following all seem to me to be dubious:

No explanation who energistics.org is; they will not even show a home page. Unitwolf is just another "conversion site", that thinks 1 stone is very slightly more than 14lbs. The dmoz stuff is now Curlie, and the history of that page (with no redirect) suggests it is spammy. I suggest removing all of these. WP should not be hosting unvalidated lists of stuff, even though no doubt much of it is correct. Imaginatorium (talk) 19:09, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So 2018

The article lists the definition of a kilogram as the "mass of the prototype near Paris". This statement was indeed correct in 2018, but today it is defined in terms of other base units. Dondervogel 2 (talk) 09:05, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
