~~== Overly large EDO pages ==~~

I see that you've done some pretty good work on updating temperament pages and infoboxes and the like. However, we have already been dealing with a glut of stubs - i.e. pages with very minimal content beyond what is automatically generated - created for large EDOs or impractical intervals. You have failed to demonstrate notability for these EDOs, which is a very high burden when dealing with systems in the thousands or even hundreds of thousands of notes.

One reason you might be making these pages is that you just want to look at the harmonics table. That's reasonable, and I do that on [[User:Lériendil/ET harmonic testing page|a subpage of my userpage]] for the sake of minimizing disruption to the wiki, and I advise that you do similar in the future. You seem to want to make useful contributions in general, so take this advice so we can continue to mutually assume good faith.

~~Thanks,~~

: To add to this, the standard format for prime/odd harmonic tables is columns = 11. That shouldn't be exceeded in the majority of cases, especially where you're continuing the harmonics into several tables. (Columns = 9 is another standard.) -- [[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] ([[User talk:Lériendil|talk]]) 09:47, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Do I move some or all of pages of EDOs [[7200edo|7200]], [[7474edo|7474]], [[17100edo|17100]], [[74740edo|74740]], and [[747400edo|747400]] to user pages? Maybe even some of {{edos|322, 484, 486, 528, and 699}}? --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 21:53, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I made a big mess while trying to move 747400edo to User:Overthink/747400edo. Please have someone clean it up. --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 22:46, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

:: A third option I just found for connecting primes 3, 5 and 11 is to equate two instances of 81/80 with 4096/3993. You are right that none of these are particularly simple, but I still find these methods to be highly valuable- especially with prime 17 coming in to simplify things. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 07:00, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

~~== Just to clarify ==~~

Someone just requested an account with a similar name to my account. I know them, and they are not me. I'm not sure if this will be allowed, but I'm just saying this in case anyone has any concerns.--[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 22:32, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
