According to WP:METRIC, international articles has to be metric first not imperial first. Imzadi1979 is an example of implementing “rude” behavior on international articles making them and reverting them to have imperial first. Imzadi1979 didn’t read WP:METRIC correctly.

I disagree. According to MOS:TIES, the Colorado River appears to have sufficient strong national ties to the US to use US English in the article—including the use of US units of measure as described at WP:METRIC. —C.Fred (talk) 01:49, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree as well. The vast majority of the Colorado River is in the United States and the small portion that is in Mexico is (sadly) pretty much dry. This is a U.S. topic. Cullen328Let's discuss it02:18, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Joining the chorus of disagreement. For better or worse, the Colorado River and other American rivers are widely known and measured in standard units such as acre-feet. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:13, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"In its natural state, the Colorado River poured about 16.3 million acre-feet (20.1 km3) into the Gulf of California each year, equaling an average discharge of 22,500 cubic feet per second (640 m3/s)."
This is misleading. Review of the thesis reveals (p. 114) that the 16.3 MaF figure was in reference to the total outflows of the current basin system, not the the yield of the Colorado River in its natural state. Spaetzlemuncher (talk) 22:45, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
