Microtonal
With all due respect, I'm adding the word "microtonal" back in, as "microtonal works in just intonation." It is possible to have microtonal works that aren't in just intonation, and also possible to have just intonation works that aren't microtonal (the 15th century was full of them). One term does not make the other redundant, and just intonation without microtonality could falsely imply a very conventional tonality. Kylegann 18:30, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Picture
Why not post a picture of yourself, Mr. Gann? I'll do it myself, if you wish to provide permission to use one of the images on your site. Chris 14:47, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Chris, sure, I'd appreciate that. Use any one you'd like, and thanks.Kylegann 18:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Policy on Writing About Yourself
I don't mean to step on any toes here, and I'm sure everybody's intentions are in the right place, but my understanding of Wikipedia policy is that making any significant edits to a page about oneself is fairly strongly frowned upon, I believe as an issue of principle. You can do with that information what you will. Tanque 04:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, there are exceptions and gradations. For one, the subject of an article may revert vandalism where it is clear-cut (and verifiable in reliable published sources). Also, the very page you cite indicates that even information from the notable person's own publicly available web site may be used in some cases, so long as it's not unduly self-aggrandizing, among other considerations. So while adding it directly would raise some eyebrows, making it available is another matter. An additional way to deal with these restrictions would be to provide the publication information for externally published sources, so that other editors can more easily locate and add pertinent information; after all, the subject is more likely than others to be aware of what has been published about him, and most of us do not easily find published sources that aren't on the Web, as we'd have to know in what library, magazine/journal index, or proprietary database to find the published item.
 * Certainly it is important that notable people be aware of these policies (and Gann definitely is aware, as indicated on his user page and the personal web site to which it links, where he explains what he liked about Wikipedia and why he gave up on it). It also is important, however, that everyone involved recognize the options that are available. Lawikitejana 16:52, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
