I find the description "Minifigures/parts should be measured standing up" a little bit vague. Minifigs should be measured right up, that is standing on their feet. The measurements are L x W x H. So, from feet to top of head(gear) this should be H(eight), right? But what is L(ength)? From left arm/hand to right arm/hand? And W(idth) being obviously the thickness of minifig? And does this include foot items like flippers?
For me L x W X H is confusing. What is the common sense about this? Also when I put a 3001 brick right up, I get a sense of the height. But width and length are depending on how you look at the brick: with the knobs towards you or with the side towards you?
Sorry if this has been answered before or for me sounding dumb. Maybe I'm dumb.
Anyway, a page with detailed step-to-step instructions for people who want to contribute to this great site (but who feel lost or don't know what the conventions are) would be welcome, at least for me... :-)

I sometimes also submit a 'packed' dimension if the fig fits a flatter dimension in unbuild condition.
