I've written a new article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_division_of_the_octave

because I was tired of discussions of equal temperament in general
always pointing to an article which was mostly about 12 equal, and
carried the implication 12 is King. Already, Keenan Pepper has tagged
it with an annoying merger tag, but that's the least of my problems. I
would like to be able to talk about tunings of the octave, which means
I would like to be able to talk about TOP, which means I would like to
able to reference Paul's article, which means I'd like to know when
the heck Xenharmonikon 18 is coming out. Isn't it about time???

I've replied on the talk page. If the problem is that the general
article is mostly about 12, why not separate the stuff about 12 into
its own article?

BTW, when is the promised Part 2 of "A Middle Path" coming out?

Because the article has to have a name. What name?

"12-tone equal temperament" - what else?

*Is* that the main problem with the general article?

Then you have to convince people that moving the article there (to
what is now a redirect page) is a good idea.
