Degree

I've seen two symbols used for degrees on Wikipedia, and I'm wondering if someone can clarify the difference: � (small superscript circle) and � (small superscript circle with a dash underneath) —User:Mulad 19:28, 13 Feb 2004 (UTC) : those look the same on my system. There could be browser/OS weirness afoot. -- User:Tarquin 10:54, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC) ::Perhaps User:Mulad was seeing this: � -- the line underneath (if you see it in your browser) indicates a ''link''. - User:Dcljr 02:45, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC) : The � (small superscript circle with a dash underneath) is incorrect. The circle is not in fact a circle, but a letter 'o'. The � is a 'masculine ordinal indicator'. The equivalent of the adjective "12^th" in Spanish and Portuguese is "12�" when the noun being modified is of msculine gender. The corresponding symbol is used in "12�" when the noun is feminine. � and � also appear in the abbreviations for "Numero" and "Numera", which are the translations of the English word "Number". For example, instead of "No. 12 Privet Drive", one would write "N� 12 Privet Drive". The degree symbol "�" is different from both � and �. -- User:Dominus 13:51, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC) : interesting. You might want to put that in an article. Do we have anything on ordinal indicator? -- User:Tarquin 13:53, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC) :: I just discovered that there is already an article about � (and a corresponding one about �, which says almost the same thing.) -- User:Dominus 13:55, 15 Feb 2004 (UTC) ---- shouldn't this be split by its sections, and made into a disambig? User:Badanedwa 03:39, Apr 28, 2004 (UTC) ---- This article should probably be merged with Degree (mathematics). - User:Dcljr 02:45, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC) Okay, I take back that suggestion. I've done some edits to this article, including removing the following statement after the 40°12'13" example: :''This distance is approximately 11.16% of the way around a circle.'' I don't think this statement is really useful. Now, maybe if a more "significant" angle were used, like 57°17'44.8" (1 radian)... - User:Dcljr 22:21, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC) ==Split article== I've created two new articles Degree (angle) and Degree (temperature) so that the existing Degree article can be split. This will enable the categorisation of the component articles to be scientifically precise for the different physical quantities. Currently, I've simply added links to the new articles and removed the misleading categories for this article - in favour of the new articles which have the correct categories. I should now like to replace the article Degree with a redirect to Degree (disambiguation) to achieve the desired effect. If everyone is happy with this, I will offer to go down all the referring scientific articles and redirect the links to the correct angle or temperature article as appropriate. User:Icairns 23:08, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC) ==Delete for move when possible== The Degree (disambiguation) article is currently incorrectly titled and should be at this title. However, currently: *Can't delete this article because it contains new block-compressed revisions, which are not supported by the new selective undelete feature and could result in data loss if deletion and undeletion happened. This is a temporary situation which the developers are well aware of, and should be fixed within a month or two. Please mark the page for deletion, protect the page and wait for a software update to allow normal deletion. If there is an actual complaint from a copyright holder or other suitable legal complaint and they are unwilling to accept page blanking and protection as a temporary measure, please ask a developer for assistance.
