Hello, I'm Beethoven. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Minor scale have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks.--Beethoven (talk) 23:44, 21 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello there,


 * How is it not constructive to add relevant scales to the page that another user failed to recognize as minor scales that are just as valid as the others? Saltyvictimofusernamestealing (talk) 23:57, 21 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Beethoven, trying to add information about other minor scales that the last editor failed to define as other valid isn't constructive. It made no sense to undo my editing. I'm just trying to make the information on this definition more accurate. Too many fail to realize the significance and importance of each minor scale: some people only care about Aeolian, some will only acknolwdge Aeolian and Dorian, and some only pay their attention to the melodic and harmonic minor scales, which is counterproductive to music.

 * Hello Saltyvictimofusernamestealing. The three standard types of minor scales are the natural minor scale, the harmonic minor scale and the melodic minor scale. This what music theory textbooks say and how music is taught. As for the related modes there's already a section in the article.
 * A for this edit, this is against Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Instead of creating external links linking to other websites, you must create interwiki links (like Dorian mode).
 * I reverted your edits because they didn't seem constructive nor an improvement for the article. And User:Jerome Kohl seems to agree with me, because he also reverted your edits. However, if you still want to include other minor scales in the lead section you should do it at the end of the lead section, without modifying the version with the three types of minor scales (which is the "official" one). But by adding a reliable source that backs your claim. --Beethoven (talk) 13:23, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I can confirm that I agree completely. The "other" minor (modal) scales are already adequately covered in the body of the article, and are peripheral to the main points, so I would go further and say that they have no place in the lead.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 15:54, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
