WikiProject Record Labels is a project intended to improve articles on record labels and people (non-artists) involved with labels, i.e. founders and owners. The goal is to make the record label-related articles provide basic information in a quick and easy-to-read fashion. Its parent project is WikiProject Music.

Please feel free to ask any questions on the talk page. Below is a basic guide to writing an article on a specific record label related articles.

Style

Naming

Shortcuts

The article name should be the title of the record label name, generally followed by "Records", disambiguated if necessary. Do not pre-emptively disambiguate! When there is no other encyclopedic use of the label, the article should reside at the normal name, e.g. London Records, not London (record label). In cases where disambiguation is needed, an era (Apollo Records (1944)) or location (Ace of Hearts Records (Boston)) parameter may be used.

If the label uses the Latin alphabet, the article name should be at that title. Translations of labels in languages other than English should not be used as titles unless an English language version of the name was used. If the label's name does not use the Latin alphabet, the article name should be the transliterated form of the title using Latin characters. The original language title should appear in parentheses (brackets) in the opening line of the article following the transliteration.

See also: Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (use English).

Formatting

Songs and singles are placed in "quotation marks", album titles are italicized and artists are left alone, with punctuation outside quotation marks, for example,

The Beatles' songs "Taxman", "Eleanor Rigby" and "Love You To" are from their album Revolver.

Links should only be created to albums or song articles that don't exist if you believe that the album or song most certainly deserve an article.

Capitalization

As a general rule, the name of the company and "Records" should be capitalized (i.e. Republic Records, not Republic records). Otherwise, Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (music)#Capitalization applies.

Disambiguating links

When linking genres and other terms in the article, be sure it points to the appropriate music-related article and not a disambiguation page. For example, rock should point to rock music and not rock; alternative should point to alternative rock and not alternative, a disambiguation page. Use piped links if necessary. Other terms to look out for are: pop music, band (musical ensemble), LP (gramophone record) and several more.

More style suggestions

For more style suggestions, see Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (music).
