* There was an old temperament that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “septimal temperament”. When I discovered the name, I disliked it because of its potential for confusion with other uses of the term “septimal”. I decided I wanted to change it. Many people on [[Discord]], the Wiki Workgroup on [[XA Facebook]], and the wiki talk page agreed. I coined the new name “'''[[7th-octave temperaments#Austinpowers|austinpowers temperament]]'''” which has now replaced it.

* There was an old temperament that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “catcall temperament”. When I discovered the name, I disliked it because it was demeaning to women. I decided I wanted to change it. Many people on [[Discord]] and on the wiki talk page agreed. I coined the new name “'''[[catnip|catnip temperament]]'''” which has now replaced it.  

* There was an old comma that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “the Buddhisma”. There was nothing wrong with that name in and of itself, the problem is that it was explicitly stated to be named after the sectarian group the 969 Movement, and the comma number was 969/968. I thought this was inappropriate, so I proposed a few replacement names on [[Discord]]. Of the names I coined “'''[[969/968|the kingfisher comma]]'''” was the clear favourite, so I renamed the comma to the kingfisher comma.

* There was an old comma that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “the erogluisma”. Its original namer posted on [[Discord]] that he no longer liked it, and would like someone to please rename it. I coined the new name “'''[[1682/1681|the shaftesburisma]]'''” which has now replaced it.

* Someone else described a new comma and named it “the shikanokonokonokokoshitantanma”. This name was kept, but it was too long for some use cases, so I invented an alternate short version - “'''[[nokotan|the nokotan]]'''” - for use cases where a shorter name is needed.

==== Improve pages I made ====

* On my page [[5- to 10-tone scales in 60edo]], change the scales to be in the more compact format that is used on edo pages instead of a ‘Scala-like’ format

* On my page [[5- to 10-tone scales in 72edo]], change the scales to be in the more compact format that is used on edo pages instead of a ‘Scala-like’ format

==Random stuff I’d like to share==

===Hot takes===

* '''Arbitrary numbers:''' It’s fine to explore the 2.3.5.101 [[subgroup]] if you want to. It doesn’t matter that it’s less [[concordant]] than 2.3.5.7. Explore it anyway and see what happens. Do some stuff with [[:Category:Novelties|arbitrary numbers]] that don’t make logical sense and just see what comes of it. That’s where the fun is! (Though do keep a “2.3” or “3.5” in there just to smooth over the gnarliest edges, heehee.)

* '''Importance of common names:''' I would prefer to use a temperament [[Temperament naming|named]] something fun like “waterslide” or “jinglebells” even if it has lots of error, over one named something dry and bland like “countertrihexakleismatic” even if it’s super [[damage|accurate]] and [[badness|technically better]] - a bland name can kill a temperament’s appeal, a fun name can create appeal out of nothing.

* '''Misrepresentation of traditions:''' A cheeky little opinion piece I wrote criticising the negative and celebrating the positive ways Western tuning theory has borrowed from the world’s traditions:  

::: [[User:BudjarnLambeth/Brainstorming mostly bad ideas to solve the comma naming debate]]

The piece has enough dynamic range, sense of harmonic movement, and interaction between melody lines to hold my interest, to not sound bland, but instead sound captivating.

* '''[[9/5]], Ceres'''. It doesn’t pull much weight on its own, but in the context of the wider solar system, it demarcates an important in-between point for the other planets. If you want to travel between the different planets, Ceres makes the journey much more pleasant.

* '''[[11/8]], Pluto''', often dismissed outright due to having such a tiny gravitational pull. But it is a whole other type of ‘planet’, the first of a whole new family. When approached on its own terms, it opens up a larger, more diverse solar system than we ever knew existed.
