Editing Measurement (section)

=== Exactness designation ===
The following rules generally apply for displaying the exactness of measurements:<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=CwsBn-r1b6MC&pg=PT41 Page 41] in: {{cite book | last=VanPool | first=Todd | title=Quantitative analysis in archaeology | publisher=Wiley-Blackwell | publication-place=Chichester Malden | year=2011 | isbn=978-1-4443-9017-9 | oclc=811317577 }}</ref>
* All non-0 digits and any 0s appearing between them are significant for the exactness of any number. For example, the number 12000 has two significant digits, and has implied limits of 11500 and 12500.
* Additional 0s may be added after a [[decimal separator]] to denote a greater exactness, increasing the number of decimals. For example, 1 has implied limits of 0.5 and 1.5 whereas 1.0 has implied limits 0.95 and 1.05.
