I agree Olli—it was much worst before—the article was painful to read. (And as
I said, this is nitpicking.)
There's nothing wrong with have just the name first—it just needs a bit of

No, it was my doing that the paragraphs had the synth name as their
first word(s). We don't have "the" or "a/an" in the Finnish language,
so I'm not always sure if they are needed, like in front of names (of
synthesizers) here. But I'm going to claim that most of that text
looked even worse before.

This may seem like nitpicking, but the "Timeline of additive synthesizers"

Hi Tom,
The wikipedia entry was:
"Very similar to C and C++, but the ''while loop'' could also have been written
on one line:"
As I said, this implies that that it couldn't be done in one line in C/C++, and
it can. So, I'd say that the original writer was incorrect.
And again, so you think th

I've long treated wikipedia as a useful tool that I reference often, and trust

That is, it's good for getting a quick look at many things, as long as you

I would say, in fact, that the Synergy was _primarily_ an "FM" machine. One of

Hi Robert,
Care to narrow down the target (I suppose there are multiple, but maybe start
