Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Jazz will have interest in putting on events related to women's roles in jazz history and culture; as performers, subjects, promoters, etc. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place!

The standard for formatting the sideman sections is not desirabe; it's supposed to be alphabetical but never is; it's never chronological either and just looks bad. I'd like to see a sortable table implemented as in the Elvin Jones sideman section.

Hello WikiJazz. I plan on adding all items in Category:Jazz albums by Canadian artists to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian music. I will add any to this project that aren't already. My question is do you want me to assign an importance rating? Leaving it as unknown works for me as it is less work. I thought I'd ask as I see you have a backlog of 10K+ of such articles.

In my view, this classification is not assessed by the community, anyone can change the rating at his wish following his own opinions. There are many inconsistencies. For example there are many albums marked as "top importance", which is at least questionable, where their authors are not. E.g. Virtuoso (Joe Pass album) is top importance but Joe Pass is not.

Just a heads up, it's courtesy to tag articles for relevant projects but such tags only activate project alerts on the 1st listed article in a 20 article RM, so jazz players Tran Manh Tuan → Trần Mạnh Tuấn and Quyen Van Minh → Quyền Văn Minh won't trigger an alert at this project, but in the unlikely event any one is interested, a bot should leave directions on those 2 articles Talk pages.
