I think it would be helpful to include an example of the SI system in the article on Pleonasm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleonasm

Note cb says that "mise en pratique" "is a translation of the official [French] text of the SI Brochure." Well it still looks like French to me. What did it say before it was translated? 194.193.163.170 (talk) 13:38, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

After reading the article a bit more carefully, it seems that note cb is only saying badly what note au says better. But the text flagged with note 23 also briefly makes the same explanation, and notes 30 and 66 address the same issue. The article is so long that editors (and readers) don't realise an explanation already exists. 194.193.163.170 (talk) 14:24, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

The article should include a part about why electricity is a unit and Giorgi's proposal to add a fourth unit to mass, length, and time.
