The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

4L 5s refers to the structure of [[MOSScales|MOS Scales]] whose generator falls between 2\9 (two degrees of [[9edo]] = approx. 266.667¢) and 1\4 (one degree of [[4edo]] = 300¢). In the case of 9edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 4edo, s is so small it disappears. The spectrum, then, goes something like:

||   ||   ||   ||   || scale || generator in cents ||
|| 2\9 ||   ||   ||   || 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 || 266.667 ||
||   ||   ||   || 7\31 || 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 4 3 || 270.968 ||
||   ||   || 5\22 ||   || 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 || 272.727 ||
||   ||   ||   || 8\35 || 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 5 3 || 274.286 ||
||   || 3\13 ||   ||   || 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 || 276.923 ||
||   ||   ||   || 7\30 || 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 || 280.000 ||
||   ||   || 4\17 ||   || 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 || 282.353 ||
||   ||   ||   || 5\21 || 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 || 285.714 ||
|| 1\4 ||   ||   ||   || 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 || 300.000 ||

Note that between 7\31 and 5\22, g approximates frequency ratio 7:6, 2g approximates 16:11, and 3g approximates 8:5. This defines the range of Orwell Temperament. 4L 5s scales outside of that range are not suitable for Orwell.
