I feel that the references to his body weight should have stones and pounds. Many BrE-using readers still think in them. I would agree that we should keep the other two conversions for metric users and non-stone users. What do you think? DBaK (talk) 22:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would say usually not as people in the British Isles do understand pounds (and pounds or metric are used for the weight of just about anything other than humans) and that is about the only place in the anglophone world that still uses stones. However I note the sources McWilliam and Annear use stone so for instance 16 stone for his weight when he left Sydney (from what I can see in an abbreviated google book search of McWilliam). When using sources using stone, stone should probably be used as it gives a better indication of possible margins of error. Erp (talk) 18:27, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
