[edit] Merge
The proposer hasn't given a reason, but I suppose that, given the lengths of the articles, it makes sense to merge Mijwiz with this article. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 11:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Mijwiz is the most commonly known name (romanization from Arabic) for this instrument (which is not really a clarinet any more than a mbira is a "thumb piano"), so the proposal is to merge into mijwiz. Badagnani 18:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

- Ah, that doesn't make sense caue it stupid like you. duh. "Mijwiz" may be the best-known name among some groups or in some places, but the point is that it's not a name for "double clarinet", but for a particular form. "Double clarinet" is the generic name. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 18:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

- The first paragraph here seems to equate "double clarinet" with "zummara". Later it suggests mitbiq and mijwiz are synonymous with both terms. I think some clarification from authoritative sources is needed. Perhaps this should occur before contemplating any mergers.

- It's not really a clarinet in the usual western sense, but it is in the Hornbostel-Sachs sense (so's a saxophone!). In any case, my guess is "double clarinet" is indeed the accepted generic name among English-speaking musicologists. If so that would be an appropriate name for an article discussing the zummara, mijwiz, and other variants. But again, I'd need to see a better written article with good sources before being sure of that. -- Rsholmes 23:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zummara
"Zummara" is apparently from the Arabic. Per Grove, the name is used in Egypt for a double clarinet, and in Iraq for both single and double clarinets. In Tunisia and Morocco the double clarinet is "zamr"; in Albania, "zumare". In Sudan, "zumbara" is a type of flute. -- Rsholmes 02:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, thank you — I don't own a copy of Grove(!), and hadn't been able to get to a copy. Will you add the information to the article, or shall I? --Mel Etitis (Talk) 10:33, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] reflist
The problem with the non-standard {{reflist}} is that makes the references small; this, as has been pointed out many times in discussions, can make things difficult for those with visual impairments or using small screens. As the relevant guideline, [[Wikipedia:Citing sources#[edit] Footnotes]], says: "Place the references/> tag in a "Notes" or "References" section near the end of the article—the list of notes will be generated here." --Mel Etitis (Talk) 16:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
