The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's guitarist articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in theWP:1.0 program. The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the{{WikiProjectGuitarists}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.
Task forces are informal groups of editors gathered for collaborative work on a particular topic within the guitarist project; all project members are encouraged to participate in any that interest them.
The guidelines presented in this section are intended to be guidelines only; while they are well-suited for the vast majority of guitarist articles, there exist a number of peculiar cases where, for lack of a better solution, alternate approaches can been taken. Please discuss individual cases on theProject talk page before deviating from guidelines.
Since the vast majority of guitarist articles are biographical articles about people, simply use the guitarist's name as the article name.
If the guitarist uses a stage or professional name, use the most common name of the person and refer to their real name in the article. For an example of this, seeSting.
If you must disambiguate, useGuitarist name (musician). "Musician" is preferable to "guitarist" since they may play other instruments.
The guidelines in this section are intended to serve as a starting point for writing a good article; they are not meant to enforce a single structure on all articles, nor to limit the topics an article will discuss. Remember tocite your sources!
The guitarist infobox has been deprecated in favor of the more general-purpose{{Infobox Musical artist}}. Please use that infobox for biographical articles about guitarists.
