Correction text:

Sorry to file multiple corrections to this, but I just noticed some other things that I would like to see changed.

The entry type is currently "definition". I think that "topic" is more appropriate.

Please add some explanatory prose before the table. Just having the table seems too abrupt.

Please look at the entry I just added on SI units and derivations. I would like the table in your entry and my tables to look more alike for the sake of consistency. If I could directly edit your table, these are the changes that I would make:

1. The terms "prefix", "symbol", and "factor", would not be capitalized, and they would be made bold via textbf.

2. In place of {ccc}, I would use {|c||c|c|}. Also, I would use more hlines. (This change is less important to me than 1.)

Finally, it would be nicer if the URL provided actually linked to the page. This can be accomplished via \PMlinkexternal{http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/}{http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/}

Comment from object owner bloftin:

Changed to topic and gave you permission to edit the entry. I like your suggestion so if you don't get around to them I'll implement them. Thanks.
