Wikipedia:WikiProject Sound

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to encourage and organise the use of sound on Wikipedia. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and are intended as a central point for discussing sound on Wikipedia. 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.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.
