== Statue height - should it be given primarily in feet or in metres? == 

 Since being added on 10 April 2013, the photo caption had the statue height stated in feet. That was until this edit was made on 24 September 2014. 

 I restored it to comply with the currently prevalent British practice of stating such dimensions primarily in feet. A couple of days later the metre-first dimension was reinstated by another editor with the claim that it was per WP:MOS. 

 A quick read of MOS leads me to believe that, even if only under the "use common in applying it" term, that feet should be the primary unit for the heights of such statues, especially when it is realised that most British people are more familiar with heights in feet and inches than in metres. If I was wrong to argue for feet first, can someone explain the common sense reason for using metres first for such dimensions.such heights  

 Note too that the conversion made on 24 September 2014 was one in a long series of conversions made by the same editor, to articles related to British topics, to promote metric units above the traditional imperial units, even though imperial units still largely dominate common usage in the UK.
