: Personally, I'd say go for it (as per [[WP:BRD]]). This sounds like something that can be discussed ad nauseum without any proper consensus ever being reached though. According to [[WP:UNIT]], "In non-scientific articles relating to the United Kingdom, the primary units for most quantities are metric [...] except that: [...] the primary units for personal height and weight are feet/inches and stones/pounds," so for a U.K. player based at a U.K. team, there probably won't be a proper justification for changing it to metric. But try your luck anyway – if you use a template to display both metric and imperial, i.e. <nowiki>{{convert|x.xx|m|ftin|abbr=on}}</nowiki>, then hopefully there won't be too many dissenting voices.

Graham Souness?
Just wondering why his tenure is under the "Success Era" section of the article when most fans consider him to have been a massive failure (5th place to 14th in one season). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.167.242.26 (talk) 21:24, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

SOME IMMATURE T**** HAVE CHANGED MOVEW OF IT TO FRNCH STYLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS MAINLY ENGLISH! F*** SAKE! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.132.200.102 (talk) 19:24, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: withdrawn by nominator. —sroc 💬 09:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Newcastle United F.C. → Newcastle United FC – Per MOS:ACRO: "Wikipedia generally avoids using full stops in upper-case acronyms." Is there any reason for this to be treated differently? —sroc 💬 03:53, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose For consistency with all other British clubs. See Category:Football clubs in England. The only exceptions are clubs where the letters do not stand for anything. Any discussion on this issue should be a central RfC, not a discussion on one of hundreds (if not thousands) of articles using this naming convention, which was agreed many years ago (which is why all the articles use dots).

- Thank you. Enlightening. Withdrawn. —sroc 💬 09:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
I'm still curious why there is so much variation, e.g.:
- Category:Soccer clubs in Australia—all without full stops
- Category:Football clubs in Germany—all without full stops
- Category:Football clubs in Spain—all without full stops (except Real Madrid F.C.)
- Category:Football clubs in France—mostly without full stops, a few with full stops
- Category:Soccer clubs in the United States—some with, some without
- Category:Football clubs in Greece—all with full stops (except OFI Crete)
- Category:Football clubs in Wales—all with full stops
- Category:Football clubs in Italy—all with full stops
Why is this not consistent? —sroc 💬 09:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- I've continued this conversation at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Abbreviations#"FC" or "F.C." for football clubs. —sroc 💬 09:40, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
History of Newcastle United Page
There is a seperate wikipedia page called 'History of Newcastle United F.C." in which further detail can be added. The promotion from the championship section is becoming excessively detailed. May we consider moving this detail to there and abbreviating long paragraphs as have been done in previous sections?

- That section is not just re the Championship-winning season. But, yes, it probably falls foul of WP:RECENT, so I'll support moving that to the history page and replacing it with a summarised version. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 14:56, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Height data
Thirty-one of the Newcastle United player profiles are metric first and 4 are imperial first. I think it would be better if they were consistent. After all,
- Newcastle United profiles are metric first. See [1]
- Premier League player profiles are metric only.
- Most (31/35) player profiles are metric first now.
- It only needs four edits for me to make them all consistent.
Please let me know if you approve or diaapprove of this change. Michael Glass (talk) 09:08, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- Personally, I'd say go for it (as per WP:BRD). This sounds like something that can be discussed ad nauseum without any proper consensus ever being reached though. According to WP:UNIT, "In non-scientific articles relating to the United Kingdom, the primary units for most quantities are metric [...] except that: [...] the primary units for personal height and weight are feet/inches and stones/pounds," so for a U.K. player based at a U.K. team, there probably won't be a proper justification for changing it to metric. But try your luck anyway – if you use a template to display both metric and imperial, i.e. {{convert|x.xx|m|ftin|abbr=on}}, then hopefully there won't be too many dissenting voices.
