lb

I believe that per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Units_of_measurement and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Rugby_league/Players#Infobox that the addition of the lb is incorrectly placed in front of the standard stlb. This addition of the lb as something that features for rugby league players is not currently contested, but it should not be in front of the primary or the secondary way to show the players weight.Fleets (talk) 08:21, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

While I appreciate the argument for having the more British 'stlb' precede the more American 'lb' in an article that may well attract far more British readers than American ones, doing so is soured by the doubling up of "lb" with 5 lb; 240 lb that results from "110 kg (17 st 5 lb; 240 lb)" which I find unsightly. This is why I think "110 kg (240 lb; 17 st 5 lb)" is preferable.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 20:23, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
It may well be unsightly, but that is an opinion and that would still go against the general MOS and project MOS.Fleets (talk) 20:38, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
You're going to have to point out to me more clearly what the general and project MOSs have to say about this matter. I followed the links you provided but wasn't able to spot anything.--Gibson Flying V (talk) 20:52, 10 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
