Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to music. 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 the talk page or on those of the project subpages. (See links below).

WikiProject Music aims to encourage the collaborative addition of accurate information to a wide variety of musical topics. There are, however, topics which may not be of sufficient importance for inclusion in Wikipedia.
