Units of Measurement for the Falklands Island article
Dear Marc. Thanks for your contribution to the Falklands Island article. The link to the CIA Factbook is particularly useful for readers, and I heartily support it.

The subject of units of measurement in this article has been one of acrimonious debate this year. People have taken several different positions:


 * 1 Metric first as a general rule.


 * 2 Imperial first as a general rule.


 * 3 Imperial first as a general rule, except for temperatures in Celsius.


 * 4 Follow the source of the information as a general rule.

I myself favour the metric system, but would be willing to follow the sources of information, many of which are metric only or metric first.

As one who has edited this article (and added a link to information in the metric system) you may wish to contribute to the straw poll. If so, please go to []
