Talk:Red warbler

Convert template order flip
I edited the article and flipped the order of the units for the nest dimensions with this edit.

posted a question on my talk page which I've copied here:

"Hi Aa77zz: Just wondering about your "order flip" in the convert template for the red warbler article. Can I ask why you felt the need to do that? Now, the imperial units no longer match the reference they were taken from (which had imperial, rather than metric, units). Perhaps this is something that is now mandated in MOS (a person could spend the rest of their life trying to wade through the zillions of rules there) and I just haven't run across it before?

This isn't something that I've read in the MOS but when reading the article it struck me as odd that all the other dimensions are given in metric followed by the conversion into imperial except the size of the nest. Using the order=flip parameter preserves the original imperial dimensions from the source but keeps the order. This seems better to me. I discovered this parameter when I saw it used by.
