Talk:Keytone

Misconceptions

Whoever saved the previous edit (or perhaps several edits) presumably pulled together these confoundable terms that seem united more by pronunciation than by spelling; that does not IMO invalidate their plan of handling them on the accompanying WP:Disambiguation page. The shortcomings of the revision i'm starting from seem far from fatal. Likewise, the implicit analogy between a Dab and a collection of Rdrs (tho it invites confusion about these more rigorously defined structures) has not been fatal to contributing via the accompanying Dab page. But i shall neither address the details of the issues i'm alluding to, on this talk page (let alone on the associated Dab page). If anyone is interested in using the recent edits as an object lesson on the underlying issues, they can best regain my attention at the foot of my talk page by starting a new section there.

Public speaking

I got as far as breaking out these three uses of "keynote":

Public speaking:
- Keynote
- Keynote speaker

Keynote speech

only to find that we treat them all (via WP:Redirects) in the same article. That of course could be the wave of the future, or else the wave of the past.

I also "stole" and at least in part went on to formulate (a sense of ownership of wordings in WP is a formula for unhappiness)

"metaphor for a unifying purpose regarded as justifying coordination among diverse but related matters"

which at the very least may provoke some other thots.

Oh, and without worrying about who gets credit for the theft, it seems likely that wikt:keynote#Noun and parallel concepts in WP:Keynote#See also were "stolen" from WP or Wikt for use in the other, and once again, i haven't inquired about which theft is more recent and thus probably more efficient. (Tho the different missions of dictionaries and 'pedias usually imply adaptation to the last-stealing environment.

blanking and redirecting

I don't think this is a good dab page, and I am going to blank and redirect it, but open to reversion and discussion. The only enwiki use of "Keytone" not related to Keytone Records is at List_of_Batman_Beyond_characters#Villains, which barely qualifies for WP:DABMENTION and isn't currently listed, so I think we can just redirect it to match Keytone Records. The possibility for those misspelling ketone can be handled via a hatnote there. The music theory use is really for key tone which redirects here, but I will retarget to Tonic (music), where neither "key tone" nor "key note" are mentioned but it at least is what that would refer to in that context. Like I said, if anyone objects, feel free to revert and discuss. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:20, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I guess key tone (or key tones) doesn't exist. If it did, maybe that would warrant a dab page, as the most prominent use is probably telephone keypad#key tones. Mdewman6 (talk) 01:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
