Primary units

WP:UNITS requires that for UK related articles "the primary units for personal height and weight are feet/inches and stones/pounds". I propose to change this article to observe that requirement unless a good reason not follow the guideline can be given.

That a certain source uses certain units is not a valid reason as the guideline recommends using the "flip" option in such circumstances: "Where the article's primary units differ from the units given in the source, the {{convert}} template's |order=flip flag can be used; this causes the original unit to be shown as secondary in the article, and the converted unit to be shown as primary".

As the majority of rugby profiles are metric first, and as rugby teams give their information in metric units it would be more sensible to leave the order of units as they are. Of course, if you felt that this was not satisfactory you could take up this issue with MOSNUM. Michael Glass (talk) 12:04, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
