Conversions

I appreciate that you've been adding conversion to some articles that needed them, but I'm puzzled by your changing cm measurements to mm for AA guns and torpedoes. The Japanese used cm for every under 70 mm, so I don't know why you've chosen to disregard that.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:44, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

I was not aware of that. I was just standardizing them. The AA was already in mm on one page and I changed the others to match, since everyone is familiar with the 76.2 mm AA gun. Likewise, the torpedoes were already listed in mm on one page, and I thought torpedoes were universal across all countries. --Trifler (talk) 04:55, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
