In the history section of the second paragraph I think the sentence-

The Mesopotamian shekel was a unit of weight, and relied on the mass of something like 160 grains of barley.

Uses uncertain language and that "something like" should be replaced with "around" ~2026-15601-60 (talk) 20:39, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

I mean...both are imprecise, which is probably okay since it's inherently an imprecise statement. It has worse problems though -- "rely on" is very strange wording; does it mean equivalent/equal to? While the ancient Mesopotamians no doubt didn't distinguish between mass and weight, we do today, and this sentence incorrectly conflates the two. Going with weight probably makes more sense.

Not done for now: I'm not seeing anything about this in the cited source. Do you? I've tagged as unclear and failed verification. meamemg (talk) 21:52, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
