Welcome to WikiProject jazz! If you have any questions, feel free to ask them on the project talk page.

Scope

This WikiProject aims to do the following:

• Standardize and improve existing jazz-related articles, keeping in mind Wikipedia's policies regarding neutral point of view.
• Create any needed jazz articles.
• Elevate as many jazz-related articles as possible to Good or Featured status.
• Coordinate positive contributions to articles relating to all aspects and styles of jazz.

What this WikiProject does not aim to do:

• Act in an exclusionary way toward any particular styles of jazz or any jazz musicians.

How you can help

• Any improvement to jazz-related articles, no matter how minor, is welcome. Copyediting is always welcome!
• Add appropriate media to articles. Make sure any media (particularly images) used in jazz-related articles is tagged and used properly. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.
• If there is a jazz-related article that Wikipedia doesn't currently have, create one! It doesn't have to be a masterpiece; a stub will do at first.
• Properly categorizing musicians by particular genres of the jazz idiom. Please use Category:Jazz musicians by genre as a guide, and familiarize yourself with the page. Many of the genres have sub-genres, so be sure to open the drop down lists!

• Articles relating to jazz vocalists should also be added to Category:Jazz vocal albums.

Re: the above additions. I added their names to Wikipedia:Requested articles/music/Performers, bands and songwriters yesterday, but they all got reverted and removed on the basis that the sources did not show significant coverage (I'm doubtful that the rest of the current requests fulfil this criteria though). Therefore, I'm reluctant to add them to the Requested Jazz articles page linked above, even though the content of that page seems to lack suggested sources. The "Requested articles" rules are heavily biased towards contemporary artists - it's another example of Wikipedia's "recentism". There might be numerous mainstream music websites out there which are regarded as "RS" and write about every latest trend. Sources for artists whose heyday was pre-internet are going to be much less readily available online. The guidelines for Music notability also leans against artists from the pre-LP era with parts of the criteria list, ie. releasing two or more albums on a major label, sales certifications and achieving hits on a national chart. I'd be happy to contribute to articles about those named above, I just don't know if I have time to start all the articles myself.--TrottieTrue (talk) 15:54, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
