Welcome to the Mount Makeda WikiProject: Contemporary African Musicians.
This WikiProject covers topics around contemporary music of Africa such as artists from Africa, their albums and songs along with any other related topics.
From the Africa WikiProject page:
As of 1 September 2024, there are 107,332 articles within the scope of WikiProject Africa, of which 190 are featured. This makes up 1.56% of the articles on Wikipedia and 1.72% of featured articles and lists. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etcetera, there are 425,158 pages in the project.
We estimate articles about contemporary African musicians are a fraction of this number and wish to improve these statistics.
Anyone can suggest artist pages for revision and/or creation in the section below!
WikiProject: Mount Makeda's task list is a crowd-sourced, project-specific list that focuses on important Contemporary African Musicians, their albums, photos, and related items.

? | Use common sense. Ultimately, assume good faith on the part of others, be bold in editing because perfection is not required. See Wikipedia:Editing policy for more information. Before starting a new article! - Notability is a concern that must be adhered to. See Wikipedia:Notability (music) for more information. |
I. | Use references. This is an encyclopedia, so remember to include a ==References== section listing websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you used to write the article. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted if unreferenced or referenced poorly. See Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Cite_sources and Wikipedia:References for more information. |
II. | Use proper spelling and grammar. This is a very important aspect of an article. "We want to learn editors to write proper" There are helpful guidelines in regards to styles. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (music) for more information. |
III. | Use footnotes. Take advantage of the footnote ability Wikipedia has, instead of including html links inside the context include them as footnotes. See Wikipedia:Footnotes on how to use them. |
IV. | Write a good lead. Be sure to write a lead that concisely summarizes the entire article into one or two paragraphs, which make sense to someone who may know nothing about the subjects in question. See Wikipedia:Lead section for more information. |
V. | Stay on topic. Many articles are criticized for length; sticking to the subject matter helps eliminate this. See Wikipedia:The perfect article for more information. |
VI. | Keep it simple. Remember that the average reader should be able to comprehend the erudition. Although you should use a broad vocabulary of regular, non-technical terms, do not provide such a quantity of locutions as to impel those who aspire to derive serviceable information from the article to consult a dictionary. |
VII. | Use images if possible. Images enhance articles greatly, but only use them when they are necessary, and ensure that their copyright status has been specified and we are allowed to use it on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Images |
