 ===Valentine===
-Valentine is a scale which uses [[22/21]] or a similar-sized semitone as its generator. Tuning it closer to [[25/24]] is best understood as 15edo with a compressed octave at scale degree 15, while if you use one closer to [[21/20]] it ends up being a stretched octave instead. It misses the octave by less than a diesis, so many won't be able to tell you aren't using a complete octave. Still, the rational pitches of 15edo make it easier to program, as it does not miss the octave.
+Valentine is a scale which uses [[22/21]] or a similar-sized semitone as its generator; it's better described as splitting a [[3/2]] into nine parts, though it's very slightly compressed compared to an actual 3/2. Tuning its semitone closer to [[25/24]] is best understood as 15edo with a compressed octave at scale degree 15, while if you use one closer to [[21/20]] it ends up being a stretched octave instead.
