Forum:SI measurements only for stats?

I noticed that someone has added the English system equivalents for height and weight for some of the characters. However given that the official figures for these are in SI because that is what Japan uses, converting them to other systems of measurement is


 * 1) not official, since these would have to be calculated and
 * 2) since the subject is a manga and anime that uses SI for its measurements that the wiki also needs to follow this without any conversions.

If someone wants they could run this themselves, but for the purposes of the wiki my thoughts are that it is better that these be left out. Thoughts? BrokenSphere (Talk) 04:49, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

I never added Imperial units for the reasons you listed above and the fact that I prefer SI and can't stand that we still don't use it in the US. I do understand, though, that many users are not familiar with SI units and aren't likely to put the effort into converting it themselves. Nevertheless, the official English version of Volume 2 uses SI in the weapons guide, and I think that if they don't feel the need to convert, we shouldn't either.Turambar  05:39, July 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * MOS addition stating that the SI is the system to use and don't add conversions? BrokenSphere  (Talk) 18:25, July 5, 2011 (UTC)
