“Folk Artist” is the term more commonly associated with the visual arts. “Folk Music” is more commonly associated with music.
My first thought upon seeing this project was it was for the visual arts. I think it’s important to include the word music in the profile title.

Strongly agree -- it should be "Folk music artists." Let's see if anyone objects in a reasonable time frame, and if not, I'll change it.

Could you add me? There are a ton of profiles that should be on there.
Woody Guthrie immediately comes to mind.

Private User -- Sure! I just sent you an invitation.
I am also inclined to remove Ed Sheeran from the project...he is pop-rock, not folk. Maybe someone thought that because he sometimes plays acoustic, that counts as folk? It's an odd profile to include, in my view.

I definitely think we need to change that. People who see that project added to the profile are definitely going to be confused. Every time I add somebody to it I just can’t help but think this is wrong.

I've changed the project title. Of course, the "Pop Artists" project now has the same problem...it should be "Pop Music Artists."
