Hey! While browsing through the character pages, I noticed something that rather bothered me, namely that the height conversions weren't done right. Most of you will probably think this is pretty trivial, but when I go to a Wikia I like to think all the info given to me is correct.

As the databooks only give height in centimeters, I get how it can be difficult for people who use a different metric system, so adding conversions is great! Unfortunately though, the conversions aren't correct.

Take for example Hatake Kakashi's height, which is given as 181 cm in the databooks. Now if you convert this to feet, you should end up with 5'11, but the wiki page gives 5'9! Unfortunately this seems to have happened with most characters. Naruto's height for example is 166 cm, or 5'5.35, but again the wikia shortens him a great deal by saying he is only 5'46..

Many people, especially those who don't use centimeters themselves, now have the idea everyone and their mother is tiny, when in reality the characters are quite a bit taller. It's not extremely important, but it is pretty confusing!

Here is a link to the converter I used: http://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/conversions/heightftcm.php

Hope you guys can do something with this, Thria
