Follow consensus

Follow the consensus expressed in WT:MOSNUM binary prefixes archives and undo the recent edits you made in defiance of that consensus. Jc3s5h (talk) 23:46, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but I think the consensus you're talking about, which may or may not have existed in the past, is currently inexistent. Actually the opposite consensus exists. Except for three contries (including the US), the International System of Units has been adopted unanimously worldwide. It doesn't define an exception for solid-state storage. This is the NPOV and this is where the defiance is. The SI is not a matter of consensus on Misplaced Pages. Compvis (talk) 00:04, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Since you will not recognize Misplaced Pages's authority to establish its own house style, further interaction with you will take place through dispute resolution processes. Jc3s5h (talk) 00:16, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
I do recognize its authority over things that it's apt to decide, and the SI, as possibly the most widely adopted standard, is not one of those. You seem to drastically underestimate it. In addition, I do think that Misplaced Pages does not have the same opinion it did many years ago. Compvis (talk) 00:40, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
We could revisit the matter, but, at the time Mebibytes and Gibibytes were never used in English-language reliable sources. If that has changed, the consensus might be revisited. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 03:38, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Neither Misplaced Pages consensus nor your edits against it have changed. I've brought your latest efforts in WP:MOSNUM to WT:MOSNUM for comments, although I would be justified in blocking you, due to Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Article titles and capitalisation#Final decision. Consider this a warning under that provision. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:19, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
