reviews, I asked them if they could provide a few words, based on their review, to be printed on the back of the book, and they did provide their brief conclusions (I hope you have seen their words at the very end of the book). So I gave the MS to Gordeziani with reviews, and as promised, the book was published in October 2006. It is a very big volume, weighting about 1kg. Gordeziani published only 100 copies, as he told me scholarly books usually have very limited distribution. Most of the copies were sold during the 3rd International Symposium on traditional polyphony in 2006, and the remaining copies were gone quite soon. Instead of ordering more copies from the publisher, I asked their agreement to place the whole book on the website of the International Research centre for Traditional Polyphony, for free for everyone to read it. I still have Gordeziani letter of permission and can send it to you if you wish. And by the way, this website does not belong to me, it is the website of UNESCO supported and funded “International Research Centre for Traditional Polyphony”, director of the centre – Rusudan Tsurtsumia. The book was highly praised, was soon used at the University of British Columbia by Michael Tenzer in his course in 2008, and then received the Fumio Koizumi Prize in Japan in 2009. So when I suggested publishing another book to Gordeziani (Why do people sing?) he ordered not 100, but 500 copies to print. That’s how this new book (which is about three times lighter than the Question book and much easier to send) ended up on Amazon. Fyi, I was commissioned to write this new book By a Japanese publisher ARC Tokyo, after hearing my prize lecture in Tokyo (

seminars at various Universities (UCLA, Cambridge University and College de France among them); as ethnomusicologist, I participated in the conferences of ICTM (the largest body of ethnomusicologists). I work at Melbourne University as ethnomusicologist. And finally, I did receive the highest international award, available today in ethnomusicology - Fumio Koizumi prize. You can check all this information on the websites of the Melbourne University and the website of Fumio Koizumi Prize in Japan. Therefore, I believe I by no means qualify only as "self-described ethnomusicologist." Yes, I do have many ideas that are very different from mainstream ethnomusicology, but I want you to know that scholars like Steven Brown, Simha Arom, Bruno Nettl, Tim Rice and Victor Grauer (you probably heard at least one or two of them if you are interested in the origins of language and music) find my contribution to the field very valuable.

believe that my ideas might help to see some of the old problems in the new light. What I never did is to try to deceive the reader that the idea is well established. If you noticed, virtually everywhere, where the reference to my work was made, it was stated, “As it was recently proposed by Joseph Jordania…” I believe this gives the reader the clear idea that this is a fairly new idea. I never tried to convince the readers that the idea was an established one. And I never used any other names for praising my work, the classic feature of sock puppetry. My policy was to present the idea, and to see if editors and readers see the potential in the idea. For your attention, I never even asked any of my colleagues to write a review on any of my works (probably you know that big part of the published reviews in professional world are written as a result of such internal nepotism).

4558:). When publishing the original English version by Logos, I asked Japanese publisher the permission, and he told me I can publish this book in any other languages apart from Japanese – they only have rights for Japanese version. I must tell you they are slow, as they are still preparing the publication, while the English version was published two year ago. By the way, these 500 copies of my 2011 book (Why do people sing?) also have finished recently, and again, instead of printing more copies, I already have permission from Logos to put the whole book for free for everyone. Will this make this book also self-published? Fyi, I am already sending to those who wanted to buy a copy of this book, and found it is out of stock, free pdf files (I sent one today). 4426:

language, you would know the attitude that Derek Bickerton has in regards of virtually all other scholars that are not linguists. He believes that if you are not a linguist, you should stay out of discussion of the origins of language. It is not only Bickerton that is being so conservative, in MOST of the spheres there are very strict guys who hate people from other fields meddling with “their” topics. I am sure you do not need me to tell you about many examples of people making breaking discoveries without the “professional education” and PhD in these spheres. Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace are good examples – Darwin had only a BA as his highest educational credential, not PhD of even MA, and of course, Wallace did not have even BA.

4517:.) I didn't write these policies but I do agree with most of them. If you had spent more time reading the policies to which I referred you and less time writing your response to me than your time would have been better invested. Every point you've written is irrelevant and old. I have seen similar arguments from other editors many times and they never work because they're flat out wrong. You would have avoided a great deal of embarrassment if you had just read the policies as I had asked. Again, this is an encyclopedia, not a research journal or a forum for academic debate. It is not the purpose of Knowledge to support the development of academic scholarship; there are other places for that. We merely document the end results. 4438:

apes to ask questions). Unfortunately, they never considered this as anything important. Several other scholars also were surprised that apes were not asking questions, but never paid much attention to this fact. Why? Because they considered that asking questions is a matter of syntactic proficiency, not a unique cognitive ability, and as apes can develop some elements of syntax (well, not everyone agrees), they thought it does not matter if they do not ask questions. So, I gradually became convinced that I was the first person who proposed that the origin of questioning behavior in our prehistory was a linguistic and cognitive revolution, possibly THE feature that differentiates human brain from animal brain.

4411:

time for free, for the good of all. Knowledge is a labor of love, unlike other encyclopedias, that are done in a tight competition between paid professionals and the funding bodies. I had been not only writing articles for “official” encyclopedias, but had been a head of the “Board of Experts in ethnomusicology” for the Georgian State Encyclopedia and I know all the difficulties of such encyclopedias: constrains of space for the articles, constrains of money to be paid to the professional authors (who do not want to do anything for free, as the sad experience with Nupedia shows), and the problems of chasing these (paid!) authors to do their job in time…

been used in teaching process at the Universities in USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK. Apart from this, the author of this book, who is ethnomusicologist, received the highest international award existing in ethnomusicology – Fumio Koizumi Prize. Most interestingly for our discussion, he received this prize exactly for this book you removed as an "unreliable source." All this information that I am mentioning here is readily available, as there are articles both on the book and on the author of this book in Knowledge. So for me it is a great puzzle according to which criteria you consider this book as “unreliable source.”

second part where the melody goes down (answer). As my primary expertise is choral singing, and as all my life I've been chasing the origins of choral singing, I got interested in the phenomenon of dialogue (both musical and linguistic), based on question-answer pattern. That’s where I got interested in the question as a phenomenon, and searched for the available publications on the origins of questioning behavior in humans. I was searching for very long time (the idea came to me in 1996, and the book came out in 2006). I searched in all kinds of encyclopedias, scholarly journals, CD Rom, websites, JSTOR etc…

4454:

communicating. This is very wrong. With the removal of this section the current article about singing suggests that singing is only a human activity, that no other species can sing. Do you think Knowledge is a winner with this removal? Possibly this article should have two sections, one on human singing, and another on animal singing (probably you know that there is a HUGE literature on this subject). But to have only one article on singing, with the details of human singing techniques, and not even to mention that there are 5400 other species out there who can sing, does not seems to me right.

person eats dolphins or other sea creatures but never eats fish. But because of this, a person whose diet is plant-based and includes shrimp but no other seafood...would probably be considered pescetarian. I definitely don't know what other term would be used to describe such a diet, except for "flexitarian." Anyway, the different definitions of "fish" is why I questioned if you'd considered my using the wording "fish or" as inaccurate (more so redundant) because all or most seafood may at times be referred to as fish.

and can be traced to other reliable sources, the reader of the Knowledge will be a winner. You might agree that if some of the live artists (or scholars, or politicians) who are very poorly represented in Knowledge, took some time to edit (for free) the entries about them, that would be very helpful to Knowledge. You are mentioning my real name as a revelation of some terrible secret, whereas, as I know, using aliases in Knowledge is quite an accepted policy. I guess your friends do not call you Dusty as well.

2164:" For the Hausa of northern Nigeria, a typical breakfast consists of kosai (cakes made from ground beans which are then fried) or funkaso (wheat flour soaked for a day then fried and served with sugar). Both of these cakes can be served with porridge and sugar known as koko. For the south western Yoruba people (Ilé Yorùbá) one of the most common breakfasts is Ògì— a porridge made from corn, usually served with evaporated milk. Ògì is eaten with Acarajé (akara) or Moi moi." 2562: 4509:. It cannot be used in this encyclopedia for reasons of policy which I've already told you about. It doesn't matter how much text you post on this talk page, policy is policy. You may not believe that the other people are subject to these same policies but in fact they are and we have enforced them against people more famous than yourself. (They can get away with it completely however without us ever noticing if they are scrupulous about providing 1471: 1987:, define hull and bran as: "outer covering of a seed" and "outer layer of cerials", respectively. So, in the interest of understanability for non-biologists, I think adding one, demonstrably correct word would improve the article. Some people like farmers might understand 'hull' better than 'bran'. I'm not sure why you are so resistant to this slight clarification. Do you think it is incorrect? I researched it, above are just two sources. 3233: 824: 2520:, that is advised against. And you'd probably have had the same problem with that text because "or" is still included. The WP:ANDOR guideline makes the argument that "or" is sufficient enough, as in pescetarianism may include fish or other seafood; the use of "or" does not have to imply that it's one and never the other, but I definitely see how it can imply that since "or" is often used that way. Thus, I am okay with 4458:

origins of music, mentioned this fact before. I already have very positive feedback from other scholars re my observation. So why to remove this quite unique fact about human singing activity from Knowledge? Also, even if you still believe that as ethnomusicologist, I have nothing to do with the phenomenon of asking questions, at least, you would not say that as an ethnomusicologist I have nothing to do with singing…

3967:"animal products mixed with milk are not kosher" and give a reference and then " and whey products are often by-products of a process in which animal-sourced rennet is used" and give a reference there. Since we have articles on rennet, kosher, and even vegetarianism there should be no problem finding sources; the topic articles should be already sourced. We thus leave it to the reader to draw the obvious conclusion. 5689: 5614: 5541: 5336: 5162: 4430:

disillusioned by the system of obtaining PhD-s, as I realized that PhD is effectively a “test for obedience” for the future scholars, making them obedient to follow established rules of the game, and constraining their creative thinking. Some of my most talented students did not want to do PhD at all. So the fact of the presence of PhD alone does not by make the hypothesis valid, and the scholar “good.”
