WikiProject Hip hop
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to coordinate and better organize information in articles related to hip hop culture and 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 and see the to-do list there.

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 on citing reliable sources. If you would like to make a contribution and are interested in joining the WikiProject, please feel free to add your name to the Members list and 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 see WikiProjects and WikiProject best practices.

 * The project aims primarily to:
 * 1) Write and expand articles related to hip hop culture and/or hip hop music.
 * 2) Organize and manage that content &mdash; 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 &mdash; 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 the WikiProject talk page!
 * 4) Featured articles and Good articles &mdash; 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.
