Metric Measurements[edit]

Hello,

Switching from imperial measurements first to metric was reverted on this article. It'd be good to know if wikipedia has any written guidance on this. A search didn't seem to turn up much. The UK has been metric for at least 40 years, so it seems correct to have metric measurements first for these articles.

Sorry if this is opening a can of worms!

Adamcheasley I think the can has been opened many times before! My quick search for written guidance has not found what you are looking for. From what I have seen in that country distances between settlements (for example on road signs) are given in miles. Not everything there is metric.SovalValtos (talk) 17:37, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes this has been debated many times particularly at the talk page of Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. It is worth looking at Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Units of measurement which has links to various resources and includes "In non-scientific articles relating to the United Kingdom, although the main unit is generally a metric unit (10 kilograms (22 lb)), imperial units are still used as the main units in some contexts (7 miles (11 km) by road)."— Rod ^talk 18:00, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks both. Yes, it is still somewhat mixed here in the UK. For example it seems to be about a 50/50 spilt if you are giving your body mass as to whether you use stones/Lbs or Kg. Distance is still mostly imperial, whereas products are always metric. Taking this into consideration, it would seem that if I was talking informally to someone, I'd probably give the distance of Priddy from Wells in imperial (miles) and the height above sea level in metric (metres). — Adamcheasley (talk) 09:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I expect there are people who prefer one or other so perhaps best to leave heights as written. Not all products are metric; I remember a pint of beer in that area!SovalValtos (talk) 10:32, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sheep Fair[edit]

I've edited to reflect that the Sheep Fair no longer takes place. I've amended the summary to correct the tense, and added an explanation together with a citation to the relevant Parish Council meeting
