IEC units
Hi, per WP:COMPUNITS, we do not use IEC units except in very specific situations:

The IEC prefixes kibi- (symbol Ki), mebi- (Mi), gibi- (Gi), etc., are generally not to be used except:
 * when the majority of cited sources on the article topic use IEC prefixes;
 * in a direct quote using the IEC prefixes;
 * when explicitly discussing the IEC prefixes; or
 * in articles in which both types of prefix are used with neither clearly primary, or in which converting all quantities to one or the other type would be misleading or lose necessary precision, or declaring the actual meaning of a unit on each use would be impractical.

If you have any questions, let me know. —Locke Cole • t • c 23:01, 19 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I see. I am new here, so I didn't know that. But then, to be closer to 232, "4.29 GB" or "4.3 GB" would have to be used, or maybe "approximately 4 GB" or "about 4 GB". But I don't mind. Indeed, for an average reader, simply "4 GB" might just be fine. Blankzilch (talk) 23:28, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It's OK, and no need to adjust values, we use KB, MB, GB, TB, etc. with their binary meaning (that is, where we'd use KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, etc). It seems like a number of articles have drifted towards IEC prefixes likely because people feel they're making a fix, but in truth, even without WP:COMPUNITS, we use what our sources use, and most technical documentation and media still use the older/incorrect prefixes. —Locke Cole • t • c 23:33, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ohnosecond


The article Ohnosecond has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Violates WP:NOTNEO, not a term widely used."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Liz Read!
