Talk:Gangsa

Merge with Gungsa
I propose merging this section with Gungsa article, when looking up the (other) gangsa and seeing this section I didn't even know wiki had a page for it, I found it by looking at german wikipage for (the Balinesian gamelan "gangsa") and noticing it had a disambiguation to it (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsa_(Metallophon) . Noteing of course then that there would be another "Gangsa" article, so found https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsa_(Gong) which then links to the english page). I have added a few more informations to the WikiData Page, created (and split) a commons category and linked everything. The info in this article should be moved to that (and it tidied up) and this article should be about only the Balinese metallophone. ~🐈🐈~ ♪ ~何? 18:37, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Additionally https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsa and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsa_(Metallophon) could be used to source better information to improve this article, and I believe that this english one was translated from the Spanish one https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsa where the missing sources are also located. ~🐈🐈~ ♪ ~何? 18:40, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I've removed the material not relevant to Gangsa (rather than merging, as the relevant material is already there), added a 'distinguish template' to both pages (to keep them linked). Klbrain (talk) 05:29, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Well! This "merge/correction/fix" (or whatever) activity left a mess on all the pages which referred to Gungsa. I'd give you a failing grade for that - except that whoever created the gungsa page initially (previous articles on the Philippine shallow gong used gangsa) to differentiate it from the Javanese/Balinese metallophone owns part of the problem.
