Welcome to the Music with Place Names WikiProject!
Goals and background
Linking Music and Geography
Firstly a simple goal, to tag every piece of music with a place name in the title (including songs, albums and bands) with {{Music_With_Place_Name_Navbox}} which automatically categorizes the article into:
Category:Music >
Category:Music with Place Name in Title then one of these three subcategories:
Next to move onto tagging all music with geographical data, for example:
Where bands come from
Where bands/tours have performed
Where music was composed
It has been suggested that the categories contribute to
overcategorization , a list was suggested. However:
A list would have to be done manually (unless some one makes a bot, I haven't a clue how!)
The variafiability has already been contested because of
What_wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory however, I believe that a list like this would prove useful to some readers
Scope
This Project covers all music related articles
The project covers all articles about bands, artists and songs containing place names, real or fictional
To expand too cover more subcategories, (?by expanding the template)

Suggested tasks
Place tasks that you think might benefit the project below:
Lists on the internet (& wikipedia) of music with place names:
Develop template for use with songs about places which don't mention the place in the title
Develop functionality for multiple place names in the same song for example:
Develop a way of including songs which sound like place names for example
Californication (song) by
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
and maybe for songs (etc.) which
insinuate places like
Down Under (song) by the
Men at Work
add functionality for places which have a different wikipedia page to the name of the place e.g. Aberfeldy, Scotland
Clean up categorization! (
look at this messy catagory! )
Suggested categary: Music By Location, with subcategories for things like these:
Maybe add location data to these:
Category:Music events
Consider a template for these:
Category:Songs by country
