Quintuple Meter
The content you added is potentially valuable, but it needs 3rd party references (that's a Wikipedia requirement; original research is not permitted). I've had additional stuff I've wanted to add to this article, but without a reliable reference it's not permitted (although I'm quite capable of counting 5). See No_original_research, Reliable Sources and Help:Referencing_for_beginners.

The removal is not intended to be rude or critical, but just adhering to a basic Wikipedia requirement (which helps make Wikipedia be as reliable as it is). Finney1234 (talk) 20:33, 15 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Gotchya - makes sense! I was just bothered by the 100% lack of female composers in the list and wanted to right that wrong, but I completely understand and actually support the reasons for the content being removed. In any event, it was a valuable exercise to compile the information. Now I know better and won't be contributing anything unreferenced again.
 * Thanks,

 * Some of that material would be worth re-including if you can dig up a 3rd party reference for it. I think that it would be valuable. An actual score with the time signatures in it *might* classify as a reference; see if it's been used before in the references in the Quintuple Meter article.

 * Unfortunately, the bibliography layout in the article is a bit of a pain in the ass...just modify an existing entry (if you try to add references). Finney1234 (talk) 18:44, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the encouragement, I do appreciate it. I'm passionate about the subject, but at this point not enough to put in the necessary time & effort that'd be required to "make it real" on Wikipedia.   RavenCello (talk) 18:48, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Darn.... :-). There do appear to be examples (see the Brahms references) where scores are used to validate/reference the meters used, so that may be something you have access to. So perhaps you can add some of the composers you cited. But, as I mentioned, the reference format is a little messy (I hadn't added any references for a few years, until today). I can help you out a little if you decide to go for it. Finney1234 (talk) 23:13, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
