Welcome to the main page of the Unofficial At-Least-One-Recording-on-Every-Anthem-Article (ALOREAA) Project. As you may have guessed, the primary goal of ALOREAA is to have at least one public domain recording of every anthem hosted on the Wikimedia Commons and linked to from the appropriate Wikipedia article.
Below is a list of countries and anthem articles that do not have recordings. Bolded countries are considered sovereign states or roughly equivalent importance (i.e. the
ROC, also known as Taiwan, is included, as are the European Union and the United Nations) and are, as such, top priority. I have personally checked all bolded articles up to but not including Bosnia and Herzegovina; I have included the rest of the countries and articles from the list of national anthems
just in case. When you have either confirmed that an article has an anthem or you have added one yourself, please remove its entry from the list.
The best place to get recordings is on the United States Navy Band Anthem Website, as they are confirmed to be all public domain recordings. Other recordings should not be uploaded unless they can also be confirmed as public domain. Also, all recordings should be converted to the OGG file format before being uploaded; you can use the free program Audacity to do this.
If you want to join this unofficial project, you have the option of signing your name below. This will help all of the editors communicate about ALOREAA and notify others if they require assistance. A large enough consistent userbase will also allow ALOREAA to expand to other areas, such as general maintenance of anthem articles in place of the now-dead WikiProject National anthems. This project will also be immune to the problems that plagued that WikiProject, as it is evidently in the userspace from square one.
