- 02:0102:01, 29 December 2014 diff hist −1 Orders of magnitude (data) Undid revision 638413298 by 12.18.245.217 (talk) As stated in the lede, and justified with citations throughout WP, "The decimal SI prefixes kilo, mega etc., are powers of 10".
- 01:5201:52, 29 December 2014 diff hist +37 Template:Quantities of bytes The values *ought* to include a unit.

- 06:3706:37, 19 June 2014 diff hist 0 Orders of magnitude (data) Undid revision 612816394 by Phycoz (talk) Please check your math.

- 17:2117:21, 11 May 2014 diff hist −3 Kilobyte Unwarranted qualification - Undid revision 608066648 by 89.243.163.18 (talk)

- 06:4806:48, 29 April 2014 diff hist +4 1024 (number) →Special use in computers: unambiguous unit name
19 April 2014
- 12:2312:23, 19 April 2014 diff hist −32 Semiconductor memory →Description: The IEC prefixes are unambiguous and follow many standards, including the International System of Quantities (ISQ).

- 06:5906:59, 6 April 2014 diff hist +23 Binary prefix Undid revision 602965747 by Jeh (talk) A binary prefix inherently implies: a prefix and a power of two. Computing and powers of 1024 are not inherent, but incidental. Compare to decimal prefixes and 1000.

- 20:5920:59, 5 April 2014 diff hist +23 Binary prefix The changes made to the first paragraph carried no judgement, and were clearly improvements.
- 20:4320:43, 5 April 2014 diff hist +65 Template:Quantities of bytes it's important to mention the inconsistency with the SI
- 20:3920:39, 5 April 2014 diff hist +88 Template:Quantities of bits it's important to mention the inconsistency with the SI

- 20:0220:02, 5 April 2014 diff hist +83 Binary prefix Clarified the intro.
- 19:3719:37, 5 April 2014 diff hist +205 Talk:Binary prefix →If not JEDEC
- 19:2419:24, 5 April 2014 diff hist +32 Megabyte →Examples of use: It's important to mention there is no compression.
- 08:1908:19, 5 April 2014 diff hist +1,777 Talk:Megabyte →binary again: some comments
3 April 2014
- 08:5808:58, 3 April 2014 diff hist +1,047 Talk:Megabyte →binary again: Going to the source is quite helpful.
- 08:2608:26, 3 April 2014 diff hist +125 Giga- A gigabit is never (or very rarely) used to mean a binary multiple of bits. This is one reason why using giga as a binary prefix is inconsistent and deprecated by many standards.
2 April 2014
- 18:2018:20, 2 April 2014 diff hist +5 m Orders of magnitude (data) kibi is similar to kilo, but not equivalent, etc.
- 18:1418:14, 2 April 2014 diff hist −107 Orders of magnitude (data) There are no exceptions. Orders of magnitude don't change for computers.
- 17:5917:59, 2 April 2014 diff hist −176 Megabyte →Examples of use: Removed the example about a rare usage of MB, fixed the image size.
- 17:5517:55, 2 April 2014 diff hist +82 Megabyte Added helpful comments.
- 06:5206:52, 2 April 2014 diff hist +188 Kilo- Expansion on the definition.

- 12:4812:48, 30 November 2013 diff hist +385 m Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers Undid revision 583897057 by Arthur Rubin (talk) You are welcome to provide a single other example of a SI prefix not defined as a multiple of 10. Until then please explain what is the lie.

- 08:4108:41, 30 November 2013 diff hist −102 Template:BDprefix/doc Undid revision 583879611 by Headbomb (talk) Actually, YOU should gain consensus at WP:MOSNUM first. This unit is completely obsolete, never used widely. Please come up with standards or statistics.
- 08:3708:37, 30 November 2013 diff hist +32 m Kilobyte Some clarifications. Removed redundancies.
- 07:2607:26, 30 November 2013 diff hist +63 m Megabyte →Definitions
- 06:2906:29, 30 November 2013 diff hist −102 Template:BDprefix/doc →Usage: The only way to make a unit sillier than the "floppy megabyte" would be to make a unit that changes based on the day of the week. It does not deserve to live. It is everything a unit shouldn't be: obsolete, confusing, non-SI.

- 22:2022:20, 29 November 2013 diff hist +37 Bag-of-words model corrections related to the fact that a bag is a multiset, for which multiplicity is significant
23 October 2013
- 20:5720:57, 23 October 2013 diff hist −831 Kilo- It is worth mentioning the exception for kilobyte, but this should be short since it is such a small exception.
- 20:3220:32, 23 October 2013 diff hist +10 Template:Bit and byte prefixes The JEDEC Standard No. 100B.01 never mentions tera or any larger prefix.
- 20:2920:29, 23 October 2013 diff hist +37 Template:Quantities of bytes →See also: Added a related template.

- 20:1020:10, 23 October 2013 diff hist −17 Metric prefix →Similar symbols in abbreviations: Fixed a link. Added a precision.
- 19:5319:53, 23 October 2013 diff hist −83 JEDEC memory standards →Unit prefixes for semiconductor storage capacity: JEDEC redefines the SI prefixes which are standard worldwide, and this is important to mention.
