Quad format
I reverted your edit to Quadruple-precision floating-point format because the revised text is not accurate and could lead to reader confusion.

Quad precision has 113 bits of precision; double precision has 53. 53 * 2 = 106. While 106 is close to 113, it is better to say that quad is about twice as precise, not that it is twice as precise. Your other change is arguably a useful improvement: comparing quad to double may be describing the entire stored data format, but the addition of the word precision hints that the subject is the mantissa. I expect the latter change is easily understood by any lay reader.

Thanks for your effort to improve Wikipedia. I have added a list of resources above for your convenience. While it may seem there are many rules and policies, the core essential guide is the Five Pillars. Happy editing! —EncMstr (talk) 17:30, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
