Shortcuts

SomeWikipedianshave formed aprojectto coordinate and better organize information in articles related tohip hop cultureandmusic.This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on thetalk pageand see theto-do listthere. WikiProject Hip hop will attempt to standardize and improve all articles related to the culture of hip hop on Wikipedia, as well as create missing articles. We will do this through volunteer contributors and editors. A large emphasis is made oncitingreliable sources.If you would like to make a contribution and are interested in joining the WikiProject, please feel free to add your name tothe Members listand find yourself an article to adopt. If you're not sure where to begin or if you have doubts or ideas on how to improve an article, please address the project's discussion forum.

For more information on WikiProjects, please seeWikiPedia:WikiProjectsandWikipedia:WikiProject best practices.

Goals
[edit]
The project aims primarily to:
  1. Write and expand articles related tohip hop cultureand/orhip hop music.
  2. Organize and manage that content — A mass of information is of no use if it isn't properly organized. Also, make sure that any activity on any hip hop-related article is being relayed back to the project. If there is a dispute on a related talk page, not everyone is going to see it. Recommend that the dispute be brought to the project, that way you can get the opinions of all of the project's participants.
  3. Damage control — See something that needs to be done?Be bold!Edit articles, get involved in the discussions on the articles talk page, and feel free to tell us your thoughts and ideas on theWikiProject talk page!
  4. Featured articles and Good articles — Though we do have our fair share of good/featured content at the moment there's still a ton of work to be done and articles to be elevated in stature. We need to work on cleaning up a lot of our pages and getting them in decent enough shape to be nominated.
Tasks
[edit]
Please refer to theto-do listfor specific tasks and/or thetalk pagefor discussions regarding major projects.

Tips

[edit]
? Usecommon sense.Ultimately,assume good faithon the part of others,beboldin editing becauseperfection is not required.
SeeWikipedia:Editing policyfor more information.

Before starting a new article! -Notabilityis a concern that must be adhered to. SeeWikipedia:Notability (music)for more information.
Need help starting a new article? SeeWikipedia:Article wizardit will help you through the process of submitting a new article to Wikipedia.

I. Use references.This is an encyclopedia, so remember to include a ==References== section listing websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you used to write the article. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted if unreferenced or referenced poorly. SeeWikipedia:Verifiability,Wikipedia:Cite_sourcesandWikipedia:Referencesfor more information.
II. Use proper spelling and grammar.We want to learn editors to write proper ". There is helpful guidelines in regards to styles. SeeWikipedia:Manual of Style (music)for more information.
III. Use footnotes.Take advantage of the footnote ability Wikipedia has, instead of including html links inside the context include them as footnotes. SeeWikipedia:Footnoteson how to use them.
IV. Write a good lead.Be sure to write aleadthat concisely summarizes the entire article into one or two paragraphs, which make sense to someone who may know nothing about the subjects in question. SeeWikipedia:Lead sectionfor more information.
V. Stay on topic.Many articles are criticized forlength;sticking to the subject matter helps eliminate this. SeeWikipedia:The perfect articlefor more information.
VI. Keep it simple.Remember that the average reader should be able to comprehend the erudition. Although you should use a broad vocabulary of regular, non-technical terms, do not provide such a quantity of locutions as to impel those who aspire to derive serviceable information from the article to consult a dictionary.
VII. Use images if possible.Images enhance articles greatly, but only use them when they are necessary, and ensure that their copyright status has been specified and we are allowed to use it on Wikipedia. SeeWikipedia:Images
