Invitation Template
[edit]Please do not use this indiscriminately, but if an editor catches your eye as someone that might be interested in this project, you can use this to paste into their Talk page, if you've ready the section below called "People already invited".
One way of inviting someone to join WikiProject Roots music is to go to their talk page and add
{{WP Roots music/Invitation}}
to their page. This creates a box that looks like
| You are cordially invited to participate in WikiProject Roots music
The goal of WikiProject Roots music is to improve the quality and quantity of information about Roots, Folk, and Traditional music available on Wikipedia. WikiProject Roots music as a group does not prefer any particular tradition of Roots, Folk, or Traditional music, but prefers that all traditions are fairly and accurately represented. |
