[edit] Kit Smith
A tag has been placed on the article Kit Smith, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Kit Smith is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Kit Smith. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.--Esprit15d 16:10, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Sorry...I got a little carried away.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:Notability (people):
"Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more"
As of this week, K≈it Smith (a pseudonym) has been accepted for publication in The Smithsonian Magazine (back page). I will provide any information needed to verify this once the issue has printed.
Please reconsider your deletion. I understand why this was done, though.
Thanks.

- Great! Just resubmit the article, but be sure to include on the talk page or in the "Published works" section of your article the reference for the Smithsonian magazine. Happy editing! (on a side note, be sure to sign any notes you leave people with the four tildes. You can do so by just clicking on the little signature icon above the editing box, and it does it automatically for you!)--Esprit15d 18:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Okay...I'll wait for the article to come out, though.
I'll be more careful in the future. I know...clutter and vandalism are a drag.
You mean like this?: Roivas 19:13, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- Right, exactly like that :) --Esprit15d 13:43, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Tritone spelling
Oops! That was a manual correction, which went wrong for that article only. I've fixed it now. Thanks Rjwilmsi 18:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Diatonic
I have greatly expanded Diatonic and chromatic and included a place for various quotations from reference works, which for the moment I have lifted directly from the various talk pages. —Wahoofive (talk) 03:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
