WikiProject Punk music

About us Welcome to the main page of the Punk music WikiProject. The project launched on April 2, 2006. Currently, we have 30 active members. Please see the discussion page for information on various project-related collaborations. WikiProject Punk music was formed to foster the creation and encyclopedic improvement of punk rock-related articles, and to establish guidelines for those articles. Its members endeavor to produce a succinct, comprehensive, general, and authoritative reference on punk rock-related topics. The ultimate goal of the project is to have every article within its scope be at featured status. To participate, simply add your name to the participants section. Recent changes in punk-related articles Parentage Since punk music covers multiple branches of topics, the WikiProject is therefore a sub-project of numerous collaborations: WikiProject Biography WikiProject Music WikiProject Music genres WikiProject Musicians WikiProject Albums WikiProject Songs WikiProject Punk music Sister projects There are also a number of similar genre-oriented projects which we consider our "sister" projects: WikiProject Alternative music WikiProject Electronic music WikiProject Emo WikiProject Hip hop WikiProject Metal WikiProject Reggae (also covers ska, rocksteady, dancehall, and dub) WikiProject Rock music Task forces These are task forces dedicated to specific aspects of punk music such as individual artists, subgenres, etc. Some of these are WikiProjects in and of themselves, but their scope is so finely limited that we consider them child projects of WikiProject Punk music and work closely with them in much the same way that we do with task forces. If you would like to propose a new task force or work group, make your suggestion on the project talk page to see if other editors are interested. Good Charlotte task force WikiProject The Clash WikiProject Green Day If interested, please sign our participants section.

Thanks. Scope and goals Mission statement The goal of the Punk music Wikiproject is to organize, clean, and improve punk rock-related information within a format that fits Wikipedia's policies and guidelines to, ultimately, the level of quality stressed in the Featured Article and Featured List guidelines. Scope Currently, this WikiProject covers the following items: Anyone and anything affiliated with the genre of punk rock, including musicians, albums, songs, artists, record labels, subgenres, etc. Anything featured on the Punk rock portal. Anything located within a punk or punk-affiliated category, sub-category, list, article, stub, or template. Goals and duties Our goals and duties are as follows: Discussions and debates relating to the above items, including merges, citations, other references, image issues, splits, cleanup, formatting, and expansion. Reduce trivial information, speculation, point of view, and anything else that violates Wikipedia's core article policies. Monitoring all articles for violations of anything listed in the above two parts. Work toward making all punk rock-related articles and lists clean, organized, well-written, and accessible. Bring numerous articles to Good Article, Featured Article, and/or Featured List status. Your role We need the participation of Wikipedians and punk music fans alike. Here are some general guidelines to follow. How to help Please sign your name below and introduce yourself in the monthly roll call section of the talk page. Take a look at recent discussions and the things to do page to see if your ideas have already been or need to be addressed. Get to know other users so that you can get a sense of the Project's attitude and each member's opinions on what should be merged, expanded, and so on. This will allow you to work better with the team, especially on major projects. Make sure you cite your sources, follow the project's guidelines in addition to style guidelines, and follow the discussions and agreements for the project. Look for text that seems biased (see WP:NPOV) and fix it. Be bold, but do not be reckless. See the above items and the section below for further information on what to do and what not to do. How not to help Do not: Insert un-cited and trivial information (see: WP:V and WP:TRIV). Revert war (adherence to the One Revert Rule is encouraged) Add original research, unsourced claims, speculation, point of view, excessive external links, vandalism, and patent nonsense. Things to remember This is a general interest encyclopedia. Articles should be understandable and appeal to both casual readers and dedicated punk fans alike. Not every person, band, album, record label, etc. in existence deserves their/its own article. Article topics must demonstrate independent notability using citations to reliable third-party sources. Primary sources are important too, but they are not enough to support an encyclopedia article on their own. See: What Wikipedia is Not. Again, we stress: this project is mainly for cleanup, organization, enhancement, factual fixes, and so on. Trivial information is frowned upon. If some of these items seem redundant, it only underscores what we all believe in as a group. Open/major tasks The following is a chart of our largest tasks. For a complete list, please see the things to do subpage, in addition to our talk page. See the opentask template at the top of the page for the priority tasks. Project members, this chart should feature "priority one" tasks! Punk rock Portal Make sure to visit the Punk rock Portal. Also you can vote for the selected article of the week at Portal:Punk rock/Vote. Collaboration of the month The current Punk music Collaboration of the month is "Blink-182". The next winner will be selected on May 1, 2009. Last month's article was American Idiot The Punk music Collaboration of the month is a group effort to improve a specific Punk music article on Wikipedia every month. To help out or vote for next week's candidate please see the Punk music Collaboration of the month page. Other See the Wikipedia:WikiProject Punk music/index for a list of Punk music-related articles that do not require significant attention. Chances are, if an item doesn't belong on that list or isn't on there, it needs to be fixed (make a note on the things to do page and/or the discussion page). Also remember that there is a Punk music barnstar that you can give out to deserving editors (and a userbox for those who are awarded the barnstar). edit this panel

To join the group simply add yourself to the list of participants, being sure to maintain alphabetical order.   Name  Talk page   Special interests AdRock Talk Oops, missed the last roll call; I'm pretty up on international 80s punk/HC. I'm big on copyediting and other cleanup stuff; a personal pet peeve is the wild variation in the way discog sections are formatted--I'd like to find out what the WP standard is for that, so I can enforce it. Right now I just edit those based on common sense. AKStraightedge Talk My musical tastes span from emo, ska, and pop punk to things such as psychobilly and horrorpunk, street, and even post-hardcore, crossover thrash, hardcore, and grindcore. Will work on creating and cleaning up pages for bands in those genres, and also do album and track listings when needed. Also will work to clean up and expand some of the punk ideology and subculture pages. Alex 101 Talk Most of my work has been on many bands such as The Offspring, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, Face to Face, D.I., Rancid and Pennywise. I've also created discography pages for some of those bands. AnarcistPig Talk I do album covers. If you see an album article with no cover image, leave a link on my talk page. Bagel7 Talk I love a great many punk bands, including but not limited to The Offspring, Bad Religion, AFI, Blink-182, and Green Day Benzband Talk i love punk music and i play punk on the guitar. i listen to different genres of music, but i like PunK best. Blaguymonkey Talk I mostly listen to the original punk scene in the 1970s and the hardcore scene in the early 1980s, but I do listen to newer punk bands such as Green Day, Rancid, and pretty much anything from the 924 Gilman Street punk scene in the 1980s. Though I greatly despise bands such as Blink-182 (in my opinion, they are not even punk). Blakemaster2000 Talk I love bands like Blink-182 and The Offspring. Bobyllib Talk I enjoy old-school punk mostly, well... punk through new wave and then veering off into indie. Anything after about 1987 in terms of "punk" doesn't really interest me. Derek R Bullamore Talk Mainly original UK punksters, like The Damned, The Clash, X-Ray Spex, The Stranglers, GBH, The Only Ones, Buzzcocks, The Adverts, Wreckless Eric; and post punk/new wave such as The Jam, The Boomtown Rats and errr Dr. Feelgood - probably shifted to pub rock here - what the hell "it's all rock and roll to me" ! DanTorresROCKS Talk — Doktor Wilhelm Talk — Failureatdeath Talk I enjoy many genres of music, Punk Rock is my favorite. Gaohoyt Talk Southern California punk, late 70s to mid 80s. Gimme danger Talk copy editing rocks Grande Talk I'm a huge fan of Bad Religion. Guerillero Talk I work mainly with straight edge and hardcore punk. I am a big fan of sourcing things. Hoponpop69 Talk I've spent lots of time working on Screeching Weasel, Ramones, and Green Day pages. I contribute and clean up many articles about U.S. punk bands of the 90s and 00s. Icelandic Hurricane Talk — IllaZilla Talk I mostly edit articles related to bands from southern California, in all periods of punk. Right now I'm doing a major overhaul of this project to try to get it moving more and give it a lot more tools to work with. JanderVK Talk Punk (77, Street, Oi, Crust etc.), Post-Punk, Goth/Death Rock etc. etc. Will work on anything Punk related except Pop. Jauma2368 Talk Expert in Chicago Punk bands, as well as some DC and East Coast early 80's. Happy to help in whatever way I can...there is just not enough Chicago bands represented on Wikipedia. Maimai009 Talk I like all sorts of punks: Pop Punk (NOFX, Blink-182, Chixdiggit!), Hardcore Punk (Rise Against, Good Riddance), Death Punk (Turbonegro) and also some weird old stuff like Dead Kennedys or Nomeansno. Markco1 Talk I work on a lot of the early punk bands and Venues, cleaning up articles and keeping them up to date and all that. I tend to stick to Boston bands but do work on other stuff as well. Martarius Talk — Michig Talk mainly interested in earlier (pre-1985) UK punk, discographies. Not remotely interested in Green Day, emo, etc. Natt the Hatt Talk I like it all. Street punk, pop punk, skate, ska, hardcore..."good tunes is good tunes." I'm mostly a small edit/clean up guy, but every now and then I'll take on a bigger job. Band history is my main interest. NeutronTaste Talk Crust punk, post-punk, goth. Prefix all the aforementioned with "proto-", just so we don't leave out any pioneers. OliverTwisted Talk Swimming against the stream of anti-punk rock bias on CSD and AfD discussions. Non-mainstream does not mean non-notable. I'm going to look around a bit, before making major contributions. Pjoef Talk — Ragged sail Talk Completely Obsessed with Irish and Celtic Punk ReverendG Talk Can not promise a lot, but I'll do what I can. Rocker10000 Talk — Robman94 Talk Grew up listening to the Sex Pistols and the rest of the class of '77 punk bands in London. Am currently trying to document the current (or recent) crop of punk bands, like Noise By Numbers, The Soviettes, etc. SanePsychotic Talk I'll contribute wherever I can. ScarTissueBloodBlister Talk — Seduisant Talk 70s mostly and slightly 80s; can help with Stooges, Ramones, Television, NY Dolls, Hell/Voidoids, MC5, Modern Lovers, Joy Division, Heartbreakers, Shirts, Dictators, TuffDarts, Pistols, etc. Minor in garage bands. — Silverskylines Talk I'm getting into the old-school 70's/80's hardcore and avant-garde punk outfit. I can do a lot for 2000's hardcore/melodic hardcore bands: Underoath, Rise Against, etc. Basically, whatever the hell comes to mind. SteveStrummer Talk Punk rock and garage, 1960s-1990s. Teamsleep Talk Mathcore, melodic hardcore, first-wave metalcore such as Converge, Poison the Well and Starkweather, post-hardcore, straight edge ideology, pretty much anything. Terminus777 Talk Any pop punk, or punk rock bands Timmeh Talk I am currently focusing mainly on Rise Against related articles, but I can help wherever needed. Trap The Drum Wonder Talk Most of my contributions will be to the 70s punk, the era of established punk and it's roots. Tuxlie Talk From Punk Rock, through Ska, Rude Boy, Oi! and then New Wave, Alternative, Indie and everything in between Wall Screamer Talk I'm more interested in hardcore, both modern and classic. I've found that many of my favorite modern bands don't even have pages, so that's probably at the top of my to-do list. WesleyDodds Talk — WTGDMan1986 Talk cop-style editing (arresting vandals) Yozzer66 Talk Mainly original UK punksters Xsxex Talk You know it, I'll be working on the pop punk railroad, all the live-long day...
