Timbre

Welcome back to wikipedia. Can you explain why you changed the two words in timbre? I didn't understand your edit summary, and made fun of it in my revert summary. Dicklyon 05:59, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Timbre

The reason that the work "quality" seems less apropriate than the word I have substituted, "characteristic", is that there is a certain connation to the word quality that attributes a "good" or "bad" meaning to the adjective attempt to compare the abstract and highly subjective nature of "tone" to the the term "timbre" Rather, it is my viewpoint that there is no opinionated comparison between the word timbre, and tone, so I feel that "characteristic" is a more neutral word to use.

I respect your opinion, but we are supposed to represent what is, not what we would prefer. Timbre is often called tone quality, seldom tone characteristic. It is not necessary to interpret quality here as a value judgement. See definitions of quality: [1]. Dicklyon 19:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And secondly, sir, the reason that I feel the word "harsh" is completely out of place in a synonymous relation with an instruments tone color having the impact of exciting the human sense of touch, is because of the context in which the first descriptor that was used, "warm", the word harsh is not actually at all analagous to the word "warm", nor is it a fair and broad comparison synonym. "Warm" is implying temperature, and harsh is implying a completely different excitation of the human sensation. For my lack of understanding how "harsh" is really even descriptive of human touch, I suggest that "cold" be used instead because it also suggest a the aspect of temperature, which was a fair and linear comparison for your initial thesis about the assumption of a hierarchial order in the ever so assumptive stance you have taken in comparing the aspect of timbre, and tone composition of sound. MidiMacMan 17:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Using warm and cold suggests one dimension analogous to temperature. We need to suggest multiple dimensions, and harsh suggests another such. Sounds are often described as harsh: [2]. Dicklyon 19:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be best to take such discussion to the article's talk page, so others can weigh in with their opinions, too. Dicklyon 19:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Tulipaturkestanica.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Tulipaturkestanica.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

flower pictures

I notice you removed my photo from the cornflower article. I'm not sure why you did this. Your edit summary said yours was a higher resolution. That may be the case, but it really doesn't show the flower any better than the one in the infobox at the top. Before adding and removing pictures, please ask yourself whether it adds any value to the article. Since my photo showed the side of the flower, including the distinctive bud, I've restored it to the article. I left your there, because you put some work into the article, and it doesn't detract. -Freekee 05:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
