Use the published Heightvs measurements

Download the same dated heights the charts use. Each one keeps its original unit, what was measured and its source.

Keep the context with the value

A person’s roster listing is different from a barefoot measurement; an elevation starts at sea level. The original unit and qualifiers preserve those distinctions. Alternative claims remain separate measurements. Do not turn a selected claim into a universal or current fact.

Dates and corrections

Update dates describe the source record, not the time someone measured a person or object. Building the website does not advance a record’s date. A source change is checked before it changes the chart.

Credit and reuse

When you publish a height from the table, name the source its row gives and link to Heightvs as the place you found it. To show a lineup rather than the numbers, embed a height comparison: the drawing to scale, the difference in words and a link back, in one piece of code.

Ready-made charts, such as the tallest NBA players or every US president, are on height comparison pictures to share.

For a visual comparison, browse the heights. Read how the chart interprets them before using values with different definitions.
