Ya, the writing style he is using is a bit informal, and I assume the site is using formal language, therefore I would reword it a bit. Obviously, I won't add or remove any information.

Yeah we can't exactly use slang or informal language on actual pages in the wiki
- 18,393
- 14,311
Mhm, and what about the new section?
- 16,023
- 25,092
Should that not go at the beginning with the other impact feats of cars hitting someone
- 18,393
- 14,311
I thought same but this is new section as well
- 18,393
- 14,311
I would put it above Falling from Great Heights as a new section.
- 16,023
- 25,092
I think thats fine but there's no other real impact feats in the misc. section so I just feel like it'd be out of place there

- 18,393

True, I will add it under impact feat. Feel free to move it if it is not suitable.
- 16,023
- 25,092
Yep thanks form your help its appreciated

Alright, here is what I did (you can call this a report of my actions)
History of my actions are here:
- I add it under impact feats (precisely under “if slammed into a wall category”) and formatted it as sub heading 1
- I changed the description of the introduction to formal language.
- In order to improve readability for both new visitors and existing members, I have made several stylistic changes to the formatting. These changes are intended to enhance the overall clarity and accessibility of the information presented.
- I changed descriptions of Japan and US to fit the formal writing style of the page

Thanks a lot for helping out, Dread. 
And thank you to you as well, JaRB and Dalesean027.

I do not remember anybody else volunteering for reorganising the structure of the entire page so it turns considerably easier to navigate.

In my opinion, the current page would be more easily navigable if it were divided into four separate pages:
- Impact Feats through Potential Energy/Lifting Feats
- Object Destruction Feats
- Star Feats through Speed Feats
- Miscellaneous Feats
- 7,920
- 8,229
I think it looks better with the way it looks, cause the feats are easier to find when it's still in this formula
- 18,393
- 14,311
If the suggestion of dividing the page into multiple sections is not feasible, then I understand and accept this decision.

Before anything, I think the biggest improvement would just be modifying it to always use correct significant figures.
The excess of digits isn't only scientifically improper, but makes the page much harder to read and easily comprehend.
Having each calculation be collapsible somehow would also be a massive improvement.

I would say that the final tally is where the rounding should and must be performed (it is just me).
But having each calculation being able to collapse will be a good start and will be good for navigation too.

It can be proper practice to carry the significant digits through each sub-calculation, based on the lowest accuracy you have each time.
So, if you start with three pieces of knowledge: 35 feet wide, 394.293 feet tall, 295.238 feet deep.
Then, you get area: 35*394.293*295.238 = 4074359.68569sqft
However, with proper significant digits, your answer is 4,100,000 sqft.
If you want to use this calculation for another calculation, such as getting mass from density, you could use the 4,100,000sqft number in that calculation, since your initial margin for error can be included in the new calculation.
While there is debate in the scientific community over this, I tend to be on the side of less being more, since overgeneralizing for errors is more honest than undergeneralizing, especially given what we do is already highly speculative.
That said, I think rounding the final answer, at least, should be standard at the bare minimum. The massive long numbers with many decimal places are hard to read, and the specificity is also meaningless when we're making massive speculations regardless.

I'd like to say that I like the idea of having collapsible sections for the calculations as @FinePoint and @Jasonsith suggested

Is there a way to calculate crushing a whole human (or at least find a starting point for such)?: https://vsbattles.com/threads/calculation-requests-thread-new-forum.107525/post-5376045
Mainly asking since that's a fairly common feat with some notable examples.

If nothing else we should at least try to make the calculations into a table, as was the original plan. It would make life a lot easier.
Of course, I suck at making tables so uh...
- 4,231

Why not both?

I have no problems at all.

I have no issue with it, I was just saying that if the collapsible sections aren't possible we should at the very least make them into a table. Jasonsith had plans for it for a long time but then IRL problems caught him off-guard and well, here we are.

Would any of you be willing to handle it please? It would be extremely helpful.

Turn all of the separate feats/sections in the following page collapsible, if I haven't misunderstood.

References for Common Feats
Throughout fiction and real life, there have been numerous feats demonstrating a certain character's or object's destructive power. This page's purpose is to consolidate calculations for those feats for better convenience in determining an object's or character's Attack Potency or Durability...

Okay. That is good. It can probably be added then.

There is a calculation about ripping arm and IDK if it is common feat:

Redid one of the listed common feats: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Flashlight237/Human-Shaped_Holes_Re-Calc
Used the cross-sectional area of a human instead since that felt less wanky, plus I added values for drywall, brick, and wood.
