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 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, - Lériendil (talk) 07:23, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
- 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.) -- Lériendil (talk) 09:47, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
Do I move some or all of pages of EDOs 7200, 7474, 17100, 74740, and 747400 to user pages? Maybe even some of 322, 484, 486, 528, and 699? --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. --Overthink (talk) 22:46, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
- Think what you did is sufficient for these purposes. Cleaned up the 747400 mess. -- Lériendil (talk) 23:16, 22 September 2025 (UTC)
Should I take more breaks
On my article The circle of relative error, I wrote 11000 characters and about 2000 words in a single day. Perhaps I should spend a bit less time on this wiki and focus on other things. Just look at the first sentence of my user page.--Overthink (talk) 04:15, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
23-limit in 159edo
Hello! I see you've been working on a 159edo well temperament. I should mention that when I work in that tuning system and I use the 23-limit, I choose either the no-17's or the no-19's form, with the former being viable up to the 29-odd-limit, and the latter being viable up to the 27-odd-limit. I think you'd do well to take stock of the 2.3.11 subgroup in 159edo as that is the skeleton of what I work with, though I will add the 5-prime and I'm admittedly trying to learn how to add the 7-prime and the 13-prime without stacking them multiple times. I've also literally invented a microtonal cadence in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup that might be of interest. --Aura (talk) 05:37, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
