Kofi Baker

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kofi Baker, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.kofibaker.com/bio.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Nautical mile

I reverted your edit to Nautical mile because it was incorrect to say that it is measured at the equator. You will see from later in the article that a minute of latitude is roughly 1843m at the equator and 1861m at the poles. The current definition of 1852m is thus close to the mean between those extremes. If, of course, you were looking at a minute of longitude, rather than latitude, it would indeed be close to 1 nautical mile at the equator (about 1855m), and tapers to zero at the poles. --David Biddulph (talk) 07:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
