This week, we turn to WikiProject Punk Music for an alternative view of Wikipedia's coverage of music topics. The project has grown from its modest beginnings in April 2006 into a refuge for Wikipedia's punks along with the 5 Featured Articles and 27 Good Articles they watch over. WikiProject Punk Music is home to the Good Charlotte Task Force and oversees two child projects, WikiProject The Clash and WikiProject Green Day. The project maintains a to do list, a portal, and a newsletter that is delivered to anyone listed on the project's participant page. We interviewed Jasper420, Guerillero, Benzband, and Pjoef.
What motivated you to join WikiProject Punk Music? What is you favorite Punk band?
The project claims 6 Featured Articles and Lists plus 26 Good Articles. Have you worked on any of these? Have you learned anything about the FA or GA process along the way?
In comparison to other music genres, how well does Wikipedia cover Punk music? Are there some aspects of Punk that tend to be over-represented or neglected?
Are there any challenges to taking pictures of notable musicians and venues? What are some images the project could use help acquiring?
The project oversees three task forces focusing on individual bands. Have you been involved in any of these? How much collaboration goes on between the task forces and the parent project?
What are the project's greatest needs? How can a new contributor help today?
Anything else you'd like to add?
Next week is the start of the WikiProject Report's first Summer* Sports Series. In the meantime, stretch your legs in the
archive.
*Winter for our friends in the
south

Nice interview, but too late for the Jubilee.
