Hi! I've seen you around on Jam band related articles... Would you consider becoming a member of WikiProject Jam bands, a WikiProject which aims to expand and improve coverage of Jam bands on Wikipedia?
Please feel free to join us.
Todo:
If you see someone that might have an interest in the project, you can place this template on their userpage to invite them.
  • DO put some commentary below it, explaining WHY they might be interested, and sign. Alternatively, you may leave a message and sign within the template by supplying an optional parameter
  • DO NOT spam people extensively, give it some thought first and don't invite too many people at once.

It makes sense to grow the project participation slowly so use with care. But it's a fun template, a bit more attention grabbing than just a note.
