A measure of 10/16 means that it can be filled with 2 groups of 5 sixteenth notes. We can easily use eighth notes and dotted eighth notes to represent longer notes that don't cross the middle of the measure. If we wanted 2 equal notes in a 10/16 measure, each one would be a dotted eighth note tied to an eighth note. But what if we wanted to fill in a measure of 10/16 with a single note?? What note would we use?? Georgia guy (talk) 15:14, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:Using the (IMO somewhat illogical) notation for tuplets, in which {{serif|⌜3:2⌝}} over a group of three quavers means that the three notes together have the same duration as two quavers, placing {{serif|⌜1:10⌝}} over a singleton group of one semiquaver should mean, "play this note with the duration of ten semiquavers. (Placing instead {{serif|⌜107px⌝}} over a whole or half note, while not a proper generalization of more conventional tuplet indications, may actually be clearer.) Performing artists may initially be puzzled, but if your note fills a bar, I expect they'll figure it out.  ​‑‑Lambiam 15:41, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

::What's illogical about the tuplet notation?? What would be more logical?? Georgia guy (talk) 16:15, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:::What is illogical is that the indication usually only identifies the number of notes, as seen in

::::120px.

:::This is redundant information. I can count and see there are five notes for myself. What is missing from this notation is the most crucial bit of information: it fails to indicate the time in which this group has to be played. When we encounter this, it will usually be four eights, the time of a half note, but it could occasionally, say in a piece in {{music|time|6|8}}, also be three or six eights. We have to infer this from the context.  ​‑‑Lambiam 21:05, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:::: I remember noticing this strange redundancy the first time I ever encountered such notation, over 60 years ago. My teacher didn't seem to think it was anything noteworthy but just the way things are done, so I just absorbed it. I think this is the first time since then that I've ever seen anyone else mentioning it. (If only we had AI creating music notation for us, we could be rid of the almost unbearable weight of these nonsensical conventions.) -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 23:07, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

::As an aside, this sort of tuplet notation is not something that is used in real life, outside of perhaps the most avant-garde of modern classical music; "⌜1:10⌝" is not an indication that would be commonly understood by performers. (I'm refraining from stating that this sort of notation doesn't exist, as I'm sure you have experience with it somewhere, but in my years of performing just about every sort of notated Western music there is I've never encountered it before, save perhaps in a Finale tuplet entry dialogue. :) ) I do agree with your assessment of the more common tuplet notation, though — reading through your comment I found myself rejecting the idea that a tuplet of five quavers could fill the space of three regular quavers in 6/8 time (this would be represented rather with semiquavers), but I couldn't come up with a music-theoretical reason why – it just "feels wrong". Q.E.D. (fugues) (talk) 21:59, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

:10/16 is a complex meter, so the notationally "correct" answer depends on the grouping employed by the composer. (Again, as a complex meter, there is no "default" grouping for 10/16 that can be established in isolation. It cannot simply be divided into "two groups of five," as you say, because 5/16 is itself complex — beat groupings always consist of either two or three beats.) The most common groupings for 10-beat meters are 2+2+3+3 and 3+3+2+2; in the former case, the "correct" way to group a note spanning the entire bar would be a quarter note tied to a dotted quarter note, or perhaps two eighth notes tied with two dotted eighth notes in more conservative engraving styles. (2+3+2+3 and its inverse are rarely seen, as in such groupings two bars of 5 would generally be preferred.) (fugues) (talk) 22:15, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I’m a new editor who’s only made about 12 edits total. [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ghost_(Swedish_band)&oldid=1291624091 Recent edits] were made by myself in reference to the most recent line-up changes (as of May 2025) which was reverted very shortly after. Due to the nature of the band, it is hard to find sources relating to the status of the musicians, which makes edits like the one I made appear not credible even though we can physically see the change in line-up. A lot of the ‘evidence’ for changes in members are either observation and consensus, or sometimes social media posts from insiders (e.g. Vanessa Warwick’s confirmation that Jutty Taylor had “left the tour for personal reasons” via a comment on her own Instagram), or even less commonly the members themselves which may require interpretation (e.g. Mad Gallica announcing via social media that she will focus on her solo career, and then being evidently replaced in the most recent tour). Essentially I ask, if there is information known to be true regarding updates in the 2025 lineup (i.e. Cumulus departed from the band after the 2023 Re-Imperatour, Aurora was moved to Cumulus’ place on keys, Gabriela Gunčíková is the new backing vocalist — which we know from literally just seeing her face, and one social media post from a friend of hers —, Jutty Taylor departed from tour 9 days in) but only sources such as the aforementioned are available, how am I able to provide updated information with a lack of sources? Is it possible, should I not bother, is outdated info not misinformation? Other editors are likely going to (and already have) disregarded and revert edits that cite things like Warwick’s social media or nothing at all, so I don’t know what to do! :( Is.not.here (talk) 01:01, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

:Welcome to Wikipedia, sorry about the way that reliable sources lag behind observable reality. Your edit to Gabriela Gunčíková regarding the Satanized video still stands, I see. It's possible that a similar modest edit to the Ghost article, at the point where this video is mentioned, to say that she is in it, would survive. Generally, one small edit at a time will increase the survival rate. One way around poor quality sources is to write person said that x is true, avoiding the stronger assertion of x is true (reference: person). This approach of attribution is mentioned at WP:RSOPINION, which also links to WP:ABOUTSELF, the rule that social media posts may be used as sources for facts about the person who posted. So Mad Gallica's remarks about focusing on her solo career could be included, without interpretation. It is probably too soon, and too provocative, to edit those boxes displaying the lineup.  Card Zero  (talk) 09:56, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

The article Comedian describes the origin of radio comedy in America, then jumps to Without a Hollywood supply of comedians to draw from, radio comedy did not begin in the United Kingdom until a generation later, i.e. the 1950s. This is opaque to me. Was there a steady stream of American acts on the BBC until 1930, then only talks and light music until the first Goon Show? Doug butler (talk) 15:02, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

:That's not how I would parse it. In the US, Hollywood comedians often moved to radio. Not having such a source, radio comedies didn't start in the UK until somewhat later.

:Britain had a rich tradition of Music hall, Variety show and Pantomime comedy to draw on. A comparative (to the US) scarcity of comedy on earlier British radio is more likely a reflection of the attitudes of those controlling early radio content wanting a more 'highbrow' tone.

:In the early 1920s the British Government via the General Post Office controlled licences to broadcast quite tightly, explicitly to avoid the potentially detrimental situation developing in the less-controlled US. They oversaw consolidation of the half-dozen significant commercial broadcasters into the BBC in 1922 and rendered this non-commercial in 1926. In a geographically smaller and more densely populated country, independent local radio broadcasting did not reappear until the 1960s.

:Any residual discouragement of comedy on the radio was discarded during the Second World War, when many comedians and comedy (or comedy-containing) shows, such as Danger – Men at Work!, The Happidrome, Hi Gang!, It's That Man Again aka ITMA, Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh, Stand Easy, and Variety Bandbox were broadcast to maintain national morale.

Talking about the scene where Pilate orders Jesus to be flogged (in the hope that this will appease the angry mob), but not killed.

Country rock is supposed to involve "country themes, vocal styles, and additional instrumentation, most characteristically pedal steel guitars." There are no pedal steel guitars. Must we say "country rock"? HiLo48 (talk) 05:50, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:Personally I have no problem with calling the song country rock. The critical reception song lists several sources which describe it as a countryish song. And the country rock article refers to the song in the "expansion" section. What genre would you describe it as? --Viennese Waltz 06:27, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

::None of the common ones. Is it required that a song have a genre? HiLo48 (talk) 07:03, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:::If you mean is it required for the infobox, then I don't know - speak to the people in charge of that infobox. If you mean in general, yes - it's possible to assign a genre to every piece of music. --Viennese Waltz 07:16, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

::::That's a pretty absolute claim. Got a source for it? HiLo48 (talk) 07:25, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

::::: The genre is "no genre"....196.50.199.218 (talk) 08:44, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::Obviously you can give any item (song) a classification (genre). But some classifications will be pretty limited, possibly only a single item will be included. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 12:26, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::: That means you'd have to come up with a name for this putative genre, and if it contained only one example it would hardly be a recognised genre, would it now? Just because some piece can't be neatly slotted into any existing genre doesn't mean it's in a genre of its own. It's simply unclassifiable. If you can find 50 pieces of unclassifiable music, they wouldn't form an "unclassified" genre. No, each would be uniquely unclassifiable, and none of them would get a genre name. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 22:32, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::Why wouldn't they? I see no problem with a single piece being its own genre. Every genre starts with only a single example. Some become massively popular, inspiring a host of others. Some have more modest followings. And others remain singletons. That doesn't make them any less distinct. Maybe that comes from my bio background. There are many single species genera and even single species families. All that matters is their distinction from other genera or families. The idea of single piece genres seems perfectly fine to me. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 00:07, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:On the "The Beatles" website (maintained by Apple Corps, so it can hardly get more official), the infobox on [https://www.thebeatles.com/dont-pass-me their page for "Don't Pass Me By"] has "Genre{{quad}}Country rock".  ​‑‑Lambiam 09:05, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

::Official. Maybe. But I don't understand it. HiLo48 (talk) 09:39, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Many of the songs that Ringo sang for the Beatles, and in his subsequent solo career, have a country style to them. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 10:38, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:There's a very country style to the fiddle playing in it. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 12:29, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

::There's that, there's the chorus's final "don't pass me by" (after "I hate to see you go") which can remind one of "because you're mine" in "I Walk the Line" ... the verses can remind one of folky ballad stanzas as heard, for example, in "The Yellow Rose of Texas". Personally, I think country rock is fitting enough (and I'm not a huge fan of genre categorization). ---Sluzzelin talk 21:55, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a volunteer reviewing the article. It passes all formal requirements, so I am now going to approve the draft. But due to the intense sport vocabulary used, I cannot understand, nor verify, that 100% of the content is correct. Could you please check it? If there is something wrong, edits may be made within up to 24 hours from now. Thank you! Gryllida (talk, e-mail) 10:53, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

:I'm trying to figure out why this is newsworthy outside a routine sports coverage page such as ESPN.com. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 11:43, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

:That page is blank, but the current top article on Wikinews matches the title.  Card Zero  (talk) 11:58, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

::I think the OP meant to link to :n:Baseball: Detroit Tigers sweep San Francisco Giants, making their fourth win in a row. The main problem I see with this article is a lack of freshness; I'm not sure who would be looking for an article about a May 28 baseball game that doesn't get published until June 1, after the Detroit Tigers had already played other games on May 30 and 31. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:13, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
