User:Dan Carkner/YiddishMusicArticlesImprovement

Articles for creation/improvement under the general area of Yiddish musical topics, biographies and history. Feel free to edit this but please do so constructively.

Scope: Loosely intended to include any article related to Yiddish-language music, instrumental Jewish music of Yiddish-speaking communities, and performers who recorded in Yiddish at least part of the time, as well as related concepts and institutions.

If an article is listed as "Acceptable quality" below it doesn't mean it's factually correct, just that it has a good length and number of citations. Some of them may still need work.
