View source for Talk:Pioneers of the Regular Mapping Paradigm

== Merge? ==
I feel like George Secor should certainly be mentioned here. 

Also, it seems nicer to either expand this page into a brief historical overview, or just merge it into the section [[Regular_temperament#A_brief_history]].

: I agree that we should either expand or merge it. I'm leaning toward merging it. 

: The impression I had gotten from this article is that it listed people who did their major regular temperament/mapping work ''before'' the tuning lists (Yahoo Groups). That's why, in the brief history you refer to (which I wrote), I used the word "pioneers" to distinguish them from the people in the next paragraph. So if George were to be included, I would include him along with Dave, Graham, Paul, etc., not among the "pioneers". And while I'm deeply involved in Sagittal notation, and so I would say that I'm a George fan more than the average person, I'm not convinced that it's the right thing to do to include him in that very short list. I will ask Dave, Graham, and Paul what they think, though. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 16:12, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

: Paul, Dave, and Graham have all gotten back to me already and agree that George doesn't really go in this list. I recalled somewhere on the Yahoo archives there's a thread where these three and others are excited to have made contact with the legendary George Secor. George perhaps goes vaguely somewhere in between the two camps, or perhaps grouped with Erv Wilson. 

: For now, I've redirected this page to the main page's history section and merged it in. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 02:46, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

:: Where is this history now? I can't find a history section on the main page. --[[User:Dave Keenan|Dave Keenan]] ([[User talk:Dave Keenan|talk]]) 02:30, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

::: Looking back at the revision history of the Wiki’s main page, it doesn’t look like it ever had a “history” section during January 2022 when that talk post was made. I wonder what they were referring to by “main page’s history section”, maybe the “main page” of some specific topic, like “regular temperament”? Hard to tell. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 05:08, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

:::: I fixed the redirect so that it points to the correct location, [[Regular temperament#History]]. Cmloegcmluin most likely referred to the "regular temperament" page when he said "main page". --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 20:10, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

::::: Yes, sorry for the slow reply. Indeed that is what we were referring to. Thanks for the fix! --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 03:28, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
