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 "superfourth" is an interval too wide to sound like a [[perfect fourth]] and too narrow to sound like a [[tritone]]. [[Margo Schulter]], in her article [[http://www.bestii.com/%7Emschulter/IntervalSpectrumRegions.txt|Regions of the Interval Spectrum]], proposes an approximate range for a superfourth to be from 528¢ to 560¢. Some of the simplest superfourths in [[Just Intonation]] are [[11_8|11/8]] (about 551.3¢) and [[15_11|15/11]] (about 537¢), both undecimal (11-based) superfourths, and [[48_35|48/35]] (about 546.8¢), a septimal superfourth.

Of course, it should never be taken for granted that these categories are subjective and culturally influenced, and the borders are "fuzzy". Other description are possible and legitimate.
