Height

[edit]

The source gives his height in centimetres, which is the norm when using the metric system. A very good reason is needed for us to go against that.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 04:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And now another unexplained reversion to metres. Would User:Tewapack mind explaining his actions?--Gibson Flying V (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As note in my edit summary, WP:UNITS says to use SI units except for a few special cases, using cm for height is not one of them. Tewapack (talk) 20:50, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Then you appear to have work to do at the Human height article. Maybe I'm not looking closely enough, but I can't find the bit that prohibits centimetres.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 22:41, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I quote "All other articles: the main unit is generally an SI unit or a non-SI unit officially accepted for use with the SI." Centimetres is neither, the SI unit for length is metre. Tewapack (talk) 23:10, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
