Beyond these non-limiting suggestions, the scope of WikiProject Marching band is determined by you, the participant.

Guidelines

[edit]

Use edit summaries

[edit]

It is a Wikipedia best practice to include an edit summary after each of your edits, describing the change(s) you made (see Help:Edit summary). If you made many fixes, you might say "converting list to prose" or "improving citations". If the number of changes was small, you might list the exact changes you made individually.

Additionally, please consider promoting this project in the edit summary with a small reference like "Updated citation URL. [[WP:MBand]]". The wikitext shortcuts, [[WP:Marching band]] and [[WP:MBand]] both create links to this project page.
