[edit] Capitalizaton

I'm not sure about the reference to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. Shouldn't that go under TAPS? I say that because Wikipedia article names are case-sensitive, so the acronym FOOBAR is a different page than Foobar -- if you're looking for the acronym version, you're going to look under FOOBAR. --bdesham 14:15 25 Jun 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Well done

Well done! -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick

Er... what?

[edit] Audio

The link to the Taps MP should probably be corrected to a live download - the one currently linked is no longer valid. If necessary, I can host an MP3 of a USMC Band trumpet solo, but I'm not sure it's free domain. Taliesyn 02:41, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

It'd be fair use, but could anyone get an Ogg Vorbis recording of Taps for the Commons? – (User:SheeEttin) 65.143.32.242 01:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Legends

I changed the line; "no serious researcher doubts that Butterfield is responsible for the current tune."

To:

"few researchers doubt that Butterfield is responsible for the current tune."

Because there probably ARE researchers who doubt this, and they are no doubt very serious.

[edit] Isn't the music wrong there?

Shouldn't all of the double eighth notes be dotted-eight-note-sixteenth-note? —Captain538[talk] 13:57, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The music is fine.

I checked it; all the measures add up to 4|4.

It's fine.

[edit] Taps at deployed locations

If I recall FM 3 - 22.5 states that Taps is not played as a "lights out" at deployed locations. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
