This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among Wikipedians. New participants are welcome; please feel free to participate!

Welcome to WikiProject Women in Music, a WikiProject dedicated to ensuring quality and coverage of biographies of women in music. Unfortunately, part of Wikipedia's systemic bias is that women in music are underrepresented. Let's change that!

Get involved

Tag the talk pages of relevant articles with the {{WikiProject Women in music}} banner so they can be automatically added to Category:WikiProject Women in music articles. See the Assessment page for further information.
Improve categorization of articles (see the category tree).
Create or translate a woman writer's biography; a redlinks list is maintained at Missing Articles List.
Expand or improve women writer biographies.
Cite edits with reliable sources. Content that isn't cited can be removed!
Remove templates from article pages after you successfully complete the task or fix the problem.
Requested tasks: Sometimes a larger cleanup activity needs a little more help than one editor can do. If you have a project that would be best completed with community help, add it here (please add tasks as bulleted (*) tasks so that they can be easily tracked below). This lists should not be for listing individual pages to work on: this is part of the reason for the article assessment system described elsewhere on this page. Rather, try to propose more systematic projects.
Find inspiration in example articles: The articles in the Featured article and Good article categories can provide examples of good layout and content coverage.

**Article importance grading scheme**
Label	Criteria	Examples
Top	Individuals, works and concepts that are "core" topics for the study and communication of women musicians, singers, composers.	Girl group Madonna Hildegard of Bingen Women in music
High	Subject is very notable or significant within the study of women musicians and composers, music created by women or the public's perception of women in music.	Lady Gaga Selena Amália Rodrigues Women in musicology Destiny's Child
Mid	Subject is notable or significant within a specific scholarly community of interest or community of musical practices, or has broader cultural significance as a woman musician or composer, or a musical work created by a woman, but may not necessarily have significant long lasting impact or impact outside the subset of interested peoples.	Pink Missy Elliott Mitski
Low	Subject is not very significant within the general study of women musicians, singers, composers or musical works created by women, nor very important for specific communities or bodies of scholarship, but meets the basic requirements for notability. This category might include topics of particular notability to other projects, but not to the topic of Women musicians and women's music.	xx (album) Brie Larson List of awards and nominations received by Amy Winehouse
