* A-ha!! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_SDRAM#Generations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_SDRAM#Generations]. =^) -From <b>Peter</b> {a.k.a. [[User:Vid2vid|Vid2vid]] <i>([[User talk:Vid2vid#top|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Vid2vid|contribs]])</i>} 04:43, 25 June 2020 (UTC).

[[WP:COMPUNITS]] is not a licence to introduce ambiguity in any article. I have restored an earlier, stable version of the article so we can discuss the disputed edits since 20 April. Relevant statements include:
* Do not assume that the binary or decimal meaning of prefixes will be obvious to everyone.
* Disambiguation should be shown in bytes or bits, with clear indication of whether in binary or decimal base. There is no preference in the way to indicate the number of bytes and bits, but the notation style should be consistent within an article.
* The IEC prefixes kibi- (symbol Ki), mebi- (Mi), gibi- (Gi), etc., are generally not to be used
The bottom line is that disambiguation is needed. The only question is how. It's hard to satisfy all three requirements, which makes it tempting to invoke [[WP:IAR]] and disambiguate using the most practical method to hand. What do others think?
