Lower-case q?

Lower-case q? Peter Jackson (talk) 10:21, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
I would be fine with making q lower-case, especially if that is standard Citizendium format. Mark Widmer (talk) 02:07, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Planned additional sections

This page is a work in progress, and the following benchmark units are planned or proposed.Mark Widmer (talk) 02:07, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Dimensionless quantities (Fine-structure constant, Avogadro's number ... and everything in between)
Acceleration
Power
Force
Pressure
Density
Electric charge
Voltage
Electric field
Magnetic field
Money/currency? Really not a physics topic, so arguably doesn't belong here. But could be useful, if not here then maybe in a new page of non-physics benchmarks?

Alphabetize the sections?

It might be useful to sort the sections into alpabetic order, though I am unsure how you would sort a section with multiple names, such as Angular or rotational speed. Pat Palmer (talk) 05:45, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
