Sigh...once again I have reverted an edit by AlexanderWinston. If I were to start replacing metric units in German or French geographical articles with miles and acres, I'm sure I'd get my hands slapped, because it would be highly arrogant. If you want to add metric as a second set of units as a courtesy to those who are more familiar with metric, go ahead, but replacing the units that are familiar to Americans in an article on American geography is over the line.

Sigh...once again I have reverted an edit by AlexanderWinston. If I were to start replacing metric units in German or French geographical articles with miles and acres, I'm sure I'd get my hands slapped, because it would be highly arrogant. If you want to add metric as a second set of units as a courtesy to those who are more familiar with metric, go ahead, but replacing the units that are familiar to Americans in an article on American geography is over the line.

I'm sure I'd like to see metric in the US as much as you, but your heavy-handed approach is more likely to hinder than help the process. Pollinator 06:24, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)

Extent/states

Across which states is the region considered to extend? It seems most associated with Virginia and the Carolinas, but the article doesn't specify. I think it would be useful to add the article to some relevant geography categories (Category:Geography of North Carolina, etc.), but which ones? -- Malepheasant 05:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto what Malepheasant said. I added a reference to the Piedmont Triad region in NC where the term "Piedmont" is most commonly used. Gooday.1 17 April 2006

If someone wants to work it in, Maryland has a "piedmont" region as well as a subregion to Western Maryland. Frederick, Maryland's second largest city, is in the piedmont region.
