Talk:Miles per hour

message: Anyone know why when on the BBC they refer to car speeds it's almost always in MPH and not KPH?
:Because the UK still in many cases uses the Metric System.
:: That was probably a typo. I guess you meant to write: The UK doesn't use the Metric system on the roads (with the exception of some restriction signs for height, width or weight). --Rdiggle 15:26, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Those links had been there for a long time.  I was using them to convert speed units, and certainly other people were using them for the same purpose. You sited the WP External Links Guidelines as your reason for removing the links, but those guidelines allow external links.  So tell us your specific reason, quoting those guidelines, for removing the links. Wilomina (talk) 19:00, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said on my talk page, where you duplicated this discussion: WP:ELNO points 1, 4 and 13, also Wikipedia is not a link directory. I suggest you find links such as these on Google next time you need them. - MrOllie (talk) 18:55, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

text: We don't need links to conversion sites here.  A simple Google search turns up scores of them, and Google even does conversion on it's main search page. OhNoitsJamie Talk 00:20, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Although in the opening sentence we only list 'mph, MPH or mi/h' as abbreviations, I see that in the article we carefully use 'Mph' no fewer than four times. I this an Americanism? Personally I've never seen 'Mph' anywhere outside of this article. If it's legit, we need to reference this usage somewhere, and if it's not, we need not to use it. --Nigelj (talk) 15:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

message: The GCOR use the abbreviation MPH throughout. Is this "against the rules", or is MPH an officially allowed (in whatever form) abbreviation? --User:Haraldmmueller 12:33, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

text: Good! There's no official national across-the-board abbreviation or symbol for miles per hour in the US, but that's true for most United States customary units - see also Talk:Miles per hour#Abbreviation above. But while we don't want to list every one we can possibly find, perhaps only used casually in some document or website, it does seem a little odd to omit MPH when it's the one in the infobox image and is listed under "Use only the following abbreviations" in the the US railroad General Code of Operating Rules you link. It used to be in this article until this rather mixed group of unexplained edits. I'll put it back "without prejudice". NebY (talk) 15:29, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
