Metric vs. US customary
My primary concern with this guide is that it expressly favors US customary over metric. Although using American English clearly makes the most sense for this wiki, I must argue that the same cannot be said for US customary (aka imperial) vs metric. Time and time again Halo media has shown that metric is the standard of measurement for the UNSC (with only a few exceptions, i.e. Halo: The Cole Protocol). As the majority of our articles are written from an in-universe perspective, it only makes sense to put metric measurements first followed by US customary in brackets. That being said, this is already being used as the de facto policy for nearly all articles already; virtually the only pages which use US first are the pages for John-117, Avery Junior Johnson and Jacob Keyes. We might as well go ahead and make metric the official policy since we're pretty much there already.--  Rusty  -  112  02:34, 26 May 2012 (EDT)
