minus-squareOisteink@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down1·7 months agoRight - so that is a photo of an AA battery and a drawing of an A battery. So if I take a photo of a gorilla and draw Sasquatch next to it I have proof of Sasquatch! This is good info to me. BRB

minus-squarecan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17·edit-27 months ago An AA battery next to a dimensioned 2D drawing of an A battery (7mm grid). (This is an placeholder image for A battery section of en:List_of_battery_sizes. To be replaced with an actual example as soon as one comes along.) Date 19 June 2011
minus-squarepruwyben@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·edit-27 months agoI think you were right, it does exist, but Wikipedia doesn’t have a picture of one they can legally use. For example I found this: https://www.batteryequivalents.com/a-size-battery-equivalents-and-replacements.html
minus-squareFubarberry@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-27 months agoHonestly it feels like “1/2AA Battery” should just be an “A battery”
minus-squareOisteink@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·7 months agoAh - so I need to put the drawing on Wikipedia. Noted! Anything else that’s needed? Quickly please as I’ve already called NYT and CNN
minus-squareBeatTakeshi@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 months agoCan someone fix this dire state of knowledge?
minus-squareOisteink@feddit.nllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoThanks - I’m adding some text now next to the drawing about occasional sightings in Canada, but as they don’t care about capturing it nobody has a picture of it. Hence validating my drawing as the only proof.

No public image at least.
