The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
A musical tuning is the choice of intervals and pitches used in one's music. In other words, it is the decision of what fundamental frequencies the notes of instruments will be "tuned to." Most musicians in the western world are familiar with only one tuning, a tuning called [[12-edo|12-tone equal temperament]], where the interval of the [[octave]] is divided into twelve equally spaced notes. There are, however, an infinite number of possible tunings, each tuning resulting in different musical possibilities and characteristics. There are many schools of thought regarding what tunings are most useful and how those tunings should be generated. With each of those perspectives comes a different system for generating tunings. Some of the most common types of systems are [[just intonation]], [[regular temperaments]], [[circulating temperaments]], and [[equal|equal divisions]]. Another source of tunings is those used historically and by various cultures throughout the world. Some of those tunings include Indonesian [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelog|Pelog]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slendro|Slendro]], the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shruti_(music)|Indian Shruti]], [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Middle Eastern Maqamat]], and [[Meantone|Historical Meantone Tunings]].
