[edit] Inches?

History: 15:22, 26 October 2007 Rodw (Talk | contribs) (3,423 bytes) (switch ins & mm in rainfall) (undo) Why was that done? It is in the WP:MOS that units should be consistent throughout (i.e. metric (imperial) or vice versa). Rainfall is almost entirely in mm nowadays anyway. I think it really should be switched back. 86.146.142.35 (talk) 15:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

It was switched because the pages on which the box appears eg Somerset are in imperial(metric). This is allowed under MOS as set out on Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Units of measurement where it says "For UK-related, the main units are either metric or imperial (consistently within an article)." for a long discussion see Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Use of metric units in UK-related articles.— Rod ^talk 17:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] jul/aug colour

Following the comment at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Somerset, I've amended July colour to equal August, which I think must be what was intended. Please correct if wrong! PamD (talk) 07:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
