The following articles have been featured on English Wikipedia's main page.

It is the project's goal that every important punk related article achieve a featured article status. Join the project's collaboration to improve the current collaboration article up to a featured article status.

[edit] Scope

Here are the very general steps this project plans to take to achieve its purpose:

Step 1: Identify all Punk music and Punk culture related articles.
Step 2: Tag all articles properly and organize them in proper categories.
Step 3: Expand stub articles.
Step 4: Do minor edits and improvements to all articles.
Step 5: Try to get all articles to Featured status.

[edit] Policy

Here are some very broad project policy we should try to maintain:

  • Everyone is welcome to voice their opinion without being put down.
  • Everyone is welcome to edit any of the WikiProjects pages. This is Wikipedia afterall.
  • If you are viewing/editing an article regarding a subject that's dear to you please maintain a neutral point of view and do not get upset if the article provides popular criticism of the subject.
  • Similar as above, please try to follow wikipedian policy. Wikipedian Help has many pages to help you understand rights from wrongs.

[edit] Fair Use of Album Covers

There is currently a bit of a blitz going on on deficient fair-use rationales on album covers. Mostly it's just that the rationales lack a valid backlink to the relevant article. It's easy to fix using the Template:Album_cover_fur - in the case where the cover is used in an infobox, merely replacing the current fair use rationale (fur) with {{album cover fur | Article = [[ARTICLE NAME]] | Use = Infobox }} is sufficient. I know it's a pain in the rear end, but not so much as having to re-up the images. A list of disputed album images can be found here, and some Damned covers immediately requiring help are here.
