Re your contribution

Hi Markmain, thanks for this recent contribution to the Piano key frequencies article. Your formulae are way beyond my pay grade and so I'm asking that you cite a source so that it doesn't get shot down as original research. Thanks again for the contribution and thanks in advance for the citation. hydnjo (talk) 21:32, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Edit war at Acoustics

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Acoustics. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 14:57, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I got your email note, but all I wish to say I can say here. I am not a fan of your piano image because of its unencyclopedic quirks. It uses some kind of swept font for its title, with a letter Q that has an ingrown descender, when no title is necessary. It references traditional human hearing ranges when such ranges are not all that applicable to each individual. It has too much mathematical accuracy, to the ten-thousandths place, for the cycles per second of each note. It assumes 440 Hz equal temperament when other values have been used for concert A, and though equal temperament is not universal. It shows arbitrarily chosen low and high frequencies as limits. It suggests that one female pop singer from America is worthy of mention over all other singers that have ever existed. Above all, the article in which you have placed the image does not have anything to do with musicality. Acoustics, the subject, is agnostic about music. Everything about acoustics can be described without reference to music. Binksternet (talk) 05:41, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
