The tabular data for wool in the article is unnecessarily complex. Wool is sold in metric units so it makes little sense to present the information in units which are not used. Even for retail sales in the UK, metric measures are used for wool. Check out these web pages: [1] [2]. Michael Glass ( talk) 11:16, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
No, Justin. Look at the FIG document. Here is the link: [3] I referred to the other sites to demonstrate British usage. Michael Glass ( talk) 14:33, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
British wool production also uses the metric system. See [4]. As British usage is metric, the table should reflect that. I propose that it be brought in line with the policy on Falkland Units. Michael Glass ( talk) 03:34, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
I think that this is taking the policy to extremes. It simply doesn't make sense to quote the price of wool per pound when it isn't sold by the pound in either the Falkland Islands or the UK. If there's a need for conversion, then put kg (2.2 lb) in the table and be done with it. Michael Glass ( talk) 06:28, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Two reverts don't add up to three, Justin. Two editors have issues with the wording; two have supported it. My revised edit took into account Pfainuk's objection. I repeat, wool isn't sold by the pound in the Falkland Islands or in the UK. Complicating the table with misleading information simply doesn't make sense. Michael Glass ( talk) 10:08, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Justin, if you had bothered to read the articles that you turned up you would find that many of them refer to US currency, not UK currency. Those that refer to UK currency use pounds, shillings and pence which, in case you did not know, were replaced with a decmial currency nearly 40 years ago - about the same time that Britian's wholesale traders changed from using pounds and ounces to kilograms! Please try again and find an article which refers to the wholesale price of greasy wool in pence per pound. May I suggest for your light reading, the article WP:VERIFY Martinvl ( talk) 15:03, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
WP:MOSNUM has recently come out against the use of "ST" and "LT" for "short tons" and "long tons" respectively. I don't know if the tremplate has been updated yet. However writing "X tonnes (Y short tons; Z long tons) creates data overload. I have prepared a small table that I have inserted into the article. I propose that the text of the article be aligned with the sources without conversions and that readers be expected to look at the table for conversion factors. Before enteringinto an edit war, I woudl liekot see what the oponion of other editors is. Martinvl ( talk) 20:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
I have raised the issue of the "tonne table" that Pfainuk removed on the WP:MOSNUM talk page. Please discuss there rather than here. Martinvl ( talk) 08:36, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
