Vanilla Ninja ↗

Thanks for your minor edits. I can see you have a minor interest in the article (your connection presumably Eurovision), so you might want to know that I plan to get it up to featured article and even front page standards. If you have any additions or can improve it, feel free to do so. Also, i'd appreciate it if you could visit Wikipedia:Peer review/Vanilla Ninja/archive1 ↗ and post some comments on what can be done to improve the article. Hedley 23:48, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Heh. Club Kung Fu was their best song so far, I think. As for Triinu, I think its about being comprehensive, and the top is a long way from there, and on long articles acts like a summary. I think mentioned her exact birthdate is needed for the reader's sake, as they won't think to look to the top if they want to know it. I don't think its doing any harm - on a longer article repeating things from the top is common. Hedley 00:07, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Discordian Calendar

As we are, of course, both Discordian Popes, shall we set the calendar schism in place by both making papal pronouncements, I that the calendar is Julian, you that it is Gregorian? Best wishes. Jess Cully 02:52, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
:Consider it done. Doing some Google research, you seem to have less support out there - good luck in your quest. We've got 94.5 years to fight it out. DenisMoskowitz 14:36, 2005 August 5 (UTC)

:Flax Flux? Bwa ha ha ha ha!!! I'm changing my link to you to that, instead of the alt.discordia one. (Oh, and my pronouncement is the 1st link on Google for St. Tib's Day at the moment. Not to be competitive, just happy that this discussion is so easy to find.) DenisMoskowitz 14:20, 2005 August 12 (UTC)

Leyton F.C. ↗

Thanks for your good work on Leyton (I was the anon who started the article). I'll be at a few of their games this season (including the opener against Staines tomorrow) so I'll see if I can rustle up enough for sensible articles on Costas Sophocleous ↗ and Tony Choules ↗. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 09:50, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Here comes that man again

Hello Jess! Thanks for the greeting. I wish I could come to the Kirsty gathering this year, but it's not to be. I'm hoping perhaps in 2006; it would be great! Thanks for all of the work you've done as well on the article. I know we've both been chipping away and polishing - I hope we've done it justice! NickBurns 16:05, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi again Jess, I see you did some cleanup work on the Kirsty article again. I had tried to summarize directly from the Guardian article on the Justice for Kirsty website. I've seen a few different amounts for the fine....I did know that the basic criminal fine ended up being under $30 American, which made me sick to my stomach....that's why I've been trying to encourage news outlets here to run the story and direct attention to what happened. Anyway, this is a long roundabout way to say thanks for following up on my edit. NickBurns 16:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

The 1992 Yugoslav Eurovision entry

I understand everything that you have said and I agree. However, all this does not matter because the offcial entry of Serbia and Montenegro was first in 2004.
I think that the first entry of S&M must be in 2004 unless the official entry of S&M has been changed to 1992. Everything else and the opinions of the Eurovison fans and your and mine opinion and this and that does not matter because the official entry must be the one that counts and not our personal views.
Awaiting feedback. Zec 23:04, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Norwich City and MK Dons

At the time I wrote that, NC had just been relegated and the season had just begun! Who expected a decline and fall nearly as comprehensive as MKD's? I blame all those Delia Smith pork pies :) --Concrete Cowboy 19:41, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision ↗

Hello, mate, I see that you are interested in Eurovision. Would you like to be involved in connecting with more eurovision wikipedians to do up the eurovision pages in a more coherent manner? I have come across the Eurovision wikiproject page, which seems to have been dormant for over two years. It may be an idea to have a look there and see how we could improve the eurovision coverage. I have done up the Congratulations (Eurovision) ↗ page so far and put notes about it on the pages of those who performed there. Best regards from Australia, Blnguyen 23:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Jimmy Saville

You know perfectly well that JS was not a contestant - he made a brief guest appearance. You are also wrong in your edit about the 100th HM. Gaetano was a HM, regardless of whether he could win or not and if you read the discussion you will see it was fully discussed when Michael entered the house leaky_caldron 09:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Re. Big Brother UK 7 housemates

Yes I understand your point, but as Michael is first alphabetically he should be further down the list - and that's the order they were announced. It's just tough he is first. --'''<span style="color:orange">Alex</span>''' ''<sup><span style="color:green">talk here</span></sup>'' 15:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Yugoslavia in Eurovision

Hi Jess,

Yes you're quite right: the entries from Yugoslavia were chosen in nation-wide selections, and no-one said "Right - this year we'll have someone from Slovenia". However, that is not what I ever meant to imply in the first place :)

The reason I mentioned the "constituent states" is to make clear that the "Yugolsavia" in question is the one which comprised those states - as opposed to the "Yugoslavia" which has been synonymous with Serbia in more recent times.

I do see your point, though: perhaps what I wrote is not clear, since you obviously interpreted it differently than as intended. I shall think about the wording. Thanks. EuroSong <sup>talk ↗</sup> 15:49, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Eurovision Song Contest ↗

In case you didn't already know, I'm just informing you that the main article will be featured on the '''front page''' on Saturday 12<sup>th</sup> May. Therefore any assistance keeping a watchful eye on it would be appreciated: it's sure to attract many contributions from people who think they're being helpful by adding non-encyclopædic snippets. Of course, having said that, some edits might actually improve it ;) EuroSong <sup>talk ↗</sup> 00:39, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

SV Austria Salzburg

Why did you disimprove the date of foundation of the club in the article? In Germany there is a hard but right saw: "Shut up, if you don't know the first thing." Your edit summary (they formed the new club early in '06 after the failure of their attempt to merge with the Police club) isn't right, so I asked my, why did you disimprove things? PälzerBu 21:11, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Blackadder

I know it's a deliberate absurdity included for comic effect, quite a funny one too. That's why I submit that it's perhaps not good fodder for a list of historical anomalies. Orpheus 01:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Lady Anne Stanley

It really does not matter to me. My goal was the clean up the article because it was a mess. What you put in is fine, it just needed some sort of citation because people have been arguing as to who is the rightful heir to the British throne for years. Virgosky 16:51, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Guilford Dudley

Somehow I misread what you'd done with the article and reverted the wrong thing. Sorry! Deb 19:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Kate/Bob

Hi there. Could you include the episode guide as a reference for Bob in Blackadder 4 being "really a girl called Kate"? It's the kind of statement that's likely to be removed as speculation again otherwise.

:No offence taken - I'm sure she was called Kate as well! I wondered if you were referring to the Virgin Books Blackadder programme guide ↗, but obviously not unless it was an online version?

; Important Project News

There is a discussion under way on what this project should include. Currently, the main topic is only the Eurovision Song Contest. Some believe that both the Junior Contest and Dance Contest should be included. Tell us your thoughts at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#Project Scope ↗.

There is currently a backlog of assessments; the project's assessment rate stands at 35.1%. Please add {{tl|EurovisionNotice}} to the talk pages of all Eurovision related articles if it is missing and read Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment ↗ if you would like to help assess the articles as well.

The project main page ↗ is the in middle of a major revamping. To get a sneak peak of the work in progress, see the draft.

In the coming days/weeks, instructions for the use of all Eurovision templates and descriptions for the layouts of pages will be up and running. As of now, a few templates are already complete: see {{tl|ESC National Year}} and {{tl|Infobox ESC entry}}.

Remember to source all information you add to pages or else it may be removed. ''ESCToday ↗'' and ''Oikotimes ↗'' are great places to find information.

; From the Members
'''Welcome to the first issue of the WikiProject Eurovision newsletter!''' Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

About two weeks ago, I was bold ↗ and decided that our entire WikiProject needed to be reorganized. I am seeking to put into effect new guidelines on page layouts, templates, and basically to make all related articles consistent. Part of this reorganization included improving our assessment department since one didn't really exist before and completely reformatting the main page.

Also, it is my opinion that the project be renamed "WikiProject Eurovision Song Contest" and that the Junior Eurovision Song Contest be officially included. I believe that the Eurovision Dance Contest should be separate since it shares nothing in common aside from the EBU.

We also need to work on bringing new members into this project; especially during these months when not much is going on in the Eurovision world. If you would like to invite someone to join the WikiProject, our invitation template ↗ on their talk page. Now is when we need to get our project's pages up to par for next year's contest and make everything as accurate and in depth as possible. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for the project on either my talk or the project's.

Happy Editing,

'''Welcome to the second issue of the WikiProject Eurovision newsletter!''' This newsletter has been quite a success so far and I hope it continues to be so. I hope to rotate as much as possible who writes this "From the Members" section each month so everyone gets a chance to contribute.

The process of fully reorganising this project is still under way. A compromise is being formed to re-name this project WikiProject Eurovision Song Contest, but allow it to include the Junior Eurovision Song Contest as it is similar. The Eurovision Dance Contest will have its own project created simultaneously. I personally agree with this proposal, a final decision has not been made yet however.

Issue relating to Eurovision can be complicated and disagreements do form. This was particularly shown in the aftermath of Kosovo's declaration of independence and the creation of a Kosovo in the Eurovision Song Contest ↗ article, there is still discussion on the talk page over its inclusion. A further disagreement was formed over a proposed merger to Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest ↗. This has fortunately been resolved by the Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal ↗ as recorded at Talk:Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest/Archive 1 ↗. Hopefully future disagreements will also be resolved in such a peaceful way.

'''Welcome to the third edition of the WikiProject Eurvision newsletter!''' This newsletter is surely catching on, and I'm sure that if we continue to rotate the editors' section as much as possible, everyone'll get a chance to contribute and it'll definitely be more diverse.

The project is still in need of re-organising. Nothing has happened in the form of splitting the project between the song and dance contests in over a month, and I feel that we really need to push forward with this. To add your comments just leave a message in the talk page Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#Project Scope ↗.

Throughout September, a lot of things have happened in relation to the Eurovision Song Contest 2009; the announcement of the return of the jury into the final was the biggest news. However, more news appeared, such as the Dutch representative being announced, as well as more countries announcing their participation at the contest. Before long the national finals around Europe will start, and the countdown will be on to 16 May.

With everything that's been happening, I'd like to encourage everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project.

'''Welcome to the fourth edition of the WikiProject Eurvision newsletter!''' As the contest gets into full swing, more and more editors will come and edit the project's articles. It is important that we not only make sure that the correct information is added, but try to help the users who added the information if possible. We learn through our mistakes, so leave a reminder on their talk page.

November is unique in that it will have two newsletters going out. This one along with a November supplement that will recap what happened in November. We decided to switch to an end of the month format so say the October Newsletter summarizes what happened in October, which it doesn't in its current first day of the month delivery. By December, the newsletter will come out at the end of every month.

So far I am very happy with how the project is going about four months after its reorganization. We get into arguments here and there, but members' opinions and comments are crucial to the project's existence. They keep us on our toes and help us continue to be a great source of Eurovision history.

Sorry that this issue is a little late, I've been busy ;)

Happy editing,
Grk1011/Stephen

'''Welcome to the fifth edition of the WikiProject Eurvision newsletter!'''

Just a couple of short months after starting the newsletter and reorganizing the Eurovision project ↗, things are finally starting to look good and consistent for 2009!

As we move into December, and ever closer to the "heart" of the National Final/Selection season, I would like to remind members to take a look at the project description/guideline on the project page and try to follow it the best way possible as the season progresses. Our main goal here is to have all of the articles consistent, while also being able to nominate them for GA ↗ status or above once the 2009 contest is over. The best and easiest way to achieve this is if we all work together and follow the guidelines. I would also like to remind users to source all information added into articles, preferably by reliable/established sources. Any questions regarding sources should be asked on the project talk page. Also, there is a large backlog of 1087 Unassessed Eurovision articles ↗ that need to be assessed. Any help with assessment will be appreciated and noted.

If we can manage to work together and follow the guidelines, as well as monitoring unregistered IP addresses, I think the 2009 season will go by much easier than past years! Sure we will still get into our little arguments here and there, and have different opinions about editing, but that's part of the whole editing experience. What fun would there be without the occasional drama? Just remember that at the end of the day, we are all working towards a common goal.

Happy Editing! Greekboy (talk)

'''Welcome to the sixth edition of the WikiProject Eurvision newsletter!'''

It's been a busy few months for me at school so I am going to need a lot more participation from the WikiProject in organizing this newsletter each month. It's not an easy task. The best way to help would be to submit anything you feel should be on the next newsletter here ↗ so that when I want to make it, I have all of the information ready to go. Also, by doing it this way, there is more information that you want to know as opposed to what I felt was important.

National final season is now in full swing and participants and songs are being chosen every week. For the most part, we are doing a great job in keeping all of the pages up to date, but I urge veteran editors to help out the new people as they tend to not know how everything should be done. As always, I am here to help so if anyone needs an opinion or has a question feel free to leave me a message on my talk; I am on Wikipedia everyday and can respond swiftly.

'''Welcome to the seventh edition of the WikiProject Eurovision newsletter!''' It has been a busy month full of national finals and homework for school, so I apologize for publishing the newsletter so late.

The deadline for choosing the entries is right around the corner and following its passing, we will have a great opportunity to improve the quality of the articles in our project. There are many song stubs that have been created for the entries this year and I would like to see them expanded into coherent articles. Also, I think we need to take a look back at the "Country in ESC 2009" articles because I have noticed that most of them are out of date and need to be updated.

We need to focus more on quality these days instead of just adding new info wherever it fits. Our goals is not to jam as much info onto a page as we can, but to create an encyclopedia that people can read and learn from. Think about that next time you add something. Maybe take a minute to read the article over and fix any evident spelling, grammar, or flow problems. Everyone needs to do their share to make this a successful project.

'''Welcome to the eighth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!''' It's been one incredible month with all 42 entrants finalising their songs.

In one weekend we found out the winner of Melodifestivalen 2009 ↗, the song the Czech Repbulic had selected and also that the Georgian entry, "We Don't Wanna Put In ↗", had been disqualified!

The running order draw took place on March 16th and Montenegro will open the 2009 contest, just like they did last year, having been drawn 1st in Semi Final 1. Spain got to pick their position for the 2009 final, and they will perform 25th. The UK got a much better draw than last year and will perform 23rd. Other notable draws see that Bosnia and Herzegovina will close the first semi final, Croatia will open semi final two and the Netherlands will close it.

In terms of articles: some "Country in the ESC 2009" pages are still short compared to more detailed articles like the Sweden ↗ and Lithuania ↗ pages. The "At Eurovision" and "Promo" sections in these articles need to be updated as many have released promo videos, updated their songs and changed elements of their stage productions. The Greece ↗ and UK ↗ articles are the best representatives of these features.

Arguments have erupted over the language of the Bosnian entry. No official source has been found yet and the 4LYRICS source is questionable due to an on-going argument in the comments section on the "Bistra voda" lyrics page. The overall concensus on the language used in the song is Bosnian so please, '''no more changes''' to the language!

That's all for March!

This month was a very busy month in terms of editing and adding to Eurovision 2009 ↗ articles. The 2009 contest ↗ is now over but there is still much work to be done.

Some Country in ESC 2009 pages are yet to have their "At Eurovision" sections updated. Some countries need more information than others, e.g. Slovenia's article needs to mention that the song was actually sung in Slovenian and English, and not just English like in the official mp3, etc.

Work has begun on the 2010 contest article ↗ already. Please do not add sections to the article about confirmed participants or withdrawn participants unless you have a source!

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Sami Muduroglu ↗

48px|left ↗ A tag has been placed on :Sami Muduroglu ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright ↗ infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission ↗. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗ for more details, or ask a question here ↗.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion ↗''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''the talk page ↗''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

There are now over 2,800 articles associated with the project (100 more than last month) and all are assessed. If you happen to see a Eurovision related article without the {{tl|EurovisionNotice}} template on the article's talk page, please add it. You can also read Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment ↗ if you would like to help reassess articles in our project if you see that they have outgrown their current assessment.

Following recent disputes relating to sourcing in Eurovision articles, an RfC has been opened on the issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#RfC on reliable sources for Eurovision articles ↗. The dispute particularly focuses on use of ESCToday and Oikotimes as sources in articles. The RfC is suffering from lack of participation; all project members are encouraged to state their opinion.

Project members are reminded that text and images in articles must follow Wikipedia's copyright policies ↗. Text must not be copied out or copied and pasted into articles from websites whose material is not under a Wikipedia compatible free license ↗. Fully copyrighted text includes that from the EBU (Eurovision.tv), ESCToday, and Okiotimes. Images must also not be uploaded onto Wikimedia Commons ↗ for use in Eurovision articles unless they are under a free license, this does not include most images on the internet or TV screen shots even if they were taken by the uploader. Copyrighted images may be uploaded onto the English Wikipedia (''not'' Commons) for use in Eurovision articles if a valid claim of fair use ↗ can be made, note that the criteria ↗ are strict.

Junior Eurovision Song Contest ↗ became a Good Article ↗ (GA).

Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 ↗ and Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 ↗ were declined GA status on the grounds of sourcing issues.

David D'Or ↗ was also declined GA status but was granted B-class status, it was previously C-class.

'''Welcome to the eleventh edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!'''

Things are beginning to quiet down now that the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest ↗ is behind us, which is the project's busiest time of year. A few of us however still had to slow down during this period, including myself, as May and June also happens to be exam season in multiple parts of the world. There is much still to be done in any case with preparations for the 2010 Song Contest ↗ now well under way, and the host city, Oslo ↗, now confirmed.

There are several items that this project needs to debate including choices of sourcing and what contests come under the banner of this project. The first of these items is already being addressed at a new RfC (see left). Further ideas that could be developed include creation of some article guidelines for Eurovision articles. This could start as an advisory essay and then later, if consensus permits, become an official Wikipedia guideline. Examples of these already in existence include Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines ↗ and Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines ↗.

The RfC on article sourcing was closed by {{user|Moonriddengirl}} as an uninvolved editor. The decisions were for each source:

* ESCToday: Reliable

* ESCKaz: Semi-reliable

* ESCTime: Not reliable

* Oikotimes: No consensus

:More details on the decision as well as the full RfC can be found on the project talk page ↗. The decisions made in the RfC will likely impact on future drafts of the article guidelines ↗. Please note that further use of Oikotimes and ESCTime is discouraged and existing uses should be replaced with reliable sources ↗. If no other source exists for the information, leave the current source for the time being.

Due to a new naming convention ↗ relating to the use of the term "FYR Macedonia", the Republic of Macedonia ↗ should be referred to as "Macedonia" in Eurovision articles. Mention of the country's participation in the Contest under the name "FYR Macedonia" should be written in the lead of articles such as Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest ↗, though it is not necessary to express this fact in the general Contest articles.

'''Welcome to the twelfth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!'''

It has been a very slow couple of months in terms of Eurovision news since the passing of the 2009 Contest, however, it has been a very busy time for guidelines and policies affecting our project. Landmark decisions have been made regarding our use of sources and even how we are to refer to Macedonia. In addition, several of our Good Articles ↗ have been delisted as part of a task force ↗ charged with maintaining the quality of Wikipedia's Good Articles.

With there being less information to add and therefore less to do for some, we need to focus on the upkeep and quality of our project's articles and getting those inactive members active once again. We can do this by making sure all new guidelines and naming policies are adhered to and by working to move articles up the quality scale ↗. We are a WikiProject and we all work towards a similar goal. Introduce yourself to your fellow members and get active!

There has been some discussion ↗ on if a monthly newsletter is viable. The current result is not clear, though it appears for the time being months will simply be skipped as necessary when project activity is low.

There has been a heated debate ↗ on how to deal with criticism and controversy in Eurovision Song Contest article, with a proposal made to re-organise articles to avoid dedicated "controversy" and "criticism" sections in order to have maximum neutral point of view ↗ policy compliance.

As a result of continued coverage on Azerbaijan-Armenia relations and its impact on the Eurovision Song Contest a new dedicated article on the issue has been created at Armenia–Azerbaijan relations in the Eurovision Song Contest ↗.

'''Welcome to the thirteenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!'''

August 2009 will not be remembered as a good month for WikiProject Eurovision. The number of this newsletter might have something to do with it, other possible explanations include circumstances, time of year, and even just coincidence. In any case we have had no new members and no further GA or FA article promotions.

The demotion of Eurovision Song Contest ↗, probably the most important article on the project, was a historic blow. Reasons for this and other demotions in recent months include an inflation of article standards, article deterioration through inappropriate edits, and possibly inappropriate promotions in some cases.

We should remember however that despite these demotions we still have 2 FAs, 9 GAs, and 41 B-class articles, as well as 2 Featured Lists. This is a big achievement for a project with only 75 members, a small amount compared to other projects. To compare WikiProject Schools ↗ has 292 members with no newsletter, and WikiProject Video games ↗ has a massive 1,298 members with only a quarterly newsletter.

This project will likely be disadvantaged for a long time to come with limited membership and fluctuating activity during the year, but it will grow out of this blip.

This is the first edition of the WikiProject Eurovision newsletter in a bimonthly ↗ format. Following a discussion on the project talk page ↗ this may now become the regular format for the newsletter during the months that the project is less active.

Eurovision articles are being repeatedly targeted by sock puppets ↗ of banned user {{User|Xtinadbest}}, who is not allowed to edit Wikipedia. The most effective way of tackling this disruption is to have all regular Eurovision article editors looking out for sock puppets. Editors should report any suspected sock puppets sighted to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations ↗, more history can be found at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Xtinadbest/Archive ↗.

A proposal ↗ was made to change Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) ↗ to discourage the use of numeric dates, primarily YYYY-MM-DD ↗ (e.g. 2009-08-12 for 12 August 2009), in footnotes as at present it is only discouraged in the main article body. The proposal now seems unlikely to pass due to large levels of opposition, though it could have had a large impact on this project as the date format YYYY-MM-DD is frequently used in Eurovision for reference publication and access dates. Further discussion can be found on the project talk page ↗.

31 countries have confirmed their participation in the 2010 Contest ↗. ESCToday has suggested ↗ that the Eurovision Song Contest ↗ may be entering a crisis due to the possibility of a large drop in the number of participants next year with the ongoing international recession ↗ hitting the budgets of many broadcasters in Europe.

Luxembourg ↗ and Monaco ↗ have both ruled out a return to the Eurovision Song Contest for 2010. A decision by San Marino ↗ on if to return or not has not yet been made.

Hungary ↗ declared it is pulling out of the Eurovision Song Contest due to the financial difficulties of the national broadcaster Magyar Televízió ↗ (MTV).

National selection details for the 2010 Contest are now available for sixteen countries ↗. Despite the contest being over six months away, Bulgaria ↗ has already announced that the artist that will represent the country in 2010 will be Miroslav Kostadinov ↗ (who is frequently referred to as Miro).

It has been announced that the voting system used for the Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals will change in 2010 ↗. The previous system was introduced in 2008 ↗ along with the first use of two semi-finals; it involved nine out of ten final places per semi-final being determined exclusively by televote ↗, with the tenth place being determined by juries ↗. This will be replaced by a more balanced 50% jury voting, 50% televoting system.

The 2009 Junior Eurovision Song Contest ↗ is scheduled to occur next month on 21 November. 13 countries ↗ are participating in the contest, while three (Bulgaria ↗, Greece ↗, and Lithuania ↗) are withdrawing.

'''Welcome to the fourteenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!'''

There have been quite a few updates to the 2010 Contest article ↗ since 1 September. Nine countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina ↗, Croatia ↗, Cyprus ↗, Ireland ↗, Macedonia ↗, Malta ↗, Poland ↗, Serbia ↗, and Slovenia ↗) have confirmed their participation, and the article in general has seen many changes. Sadly, whilst some editors have been working hard to provide reliable sources, others have been less thorough and the article has had to be semi-protected ↗ again to prevent further disruption. This is a shame, as ideally anyone should be able to edit; however, the talk page ↗ is always available to bring new information to light.

The participating countries' section ↗ has also been updated to allow the inclusion of information about the language, artist and song (with an English translation as appropriate), although to date this is very much a work in progress. As news comes in, we look forward to enriching this section in the coming months—backed-up of course with sources ↗!

No new country-specific articles have been written these past two months. If you want to add more detailed information about a country's participation in the 2010 Contest, this is the ideal way to do it, and they are very much appreciated by our readers.

Happy Christmas and new year from WikiProject Eurovision.

This is the second edition of the newsletter to be in a bimonthly ↗ format. This will probably continue at least up until the next Eurovision Song Contest when the project is more active.

Editors are reminded that some articles covered WikiProject Eurovision are subject to the biographies of living persons policy ↗. This does not just include biography articles such as Alexander Rybak ↗, but any article with material related to living persons. Such information is highly sensitive, and unsourced or poorly sourced material about living persons must be removed immediately. Material which may seen trivial to editors, such as a false claim of participation in a contest, can potentially be highly sensitive to the living persons involved.

Eurovision articles on this project have been repeatedly subject to a form of sneaky vandalism ↗. This involves unregistered users adding false information to articles such as Eurovision Song Contest 2010 ↗ (while unprotected). These false claims are then made to look legitimate through the use of "fake references" with false titles and links, example ↗. {{user|Cuchufleta}} was blocked ↗ indefinitely for creating multiple hoax ↗ articles with the same editing technique. Editors are advised to look out for further disruption of this kind, as it seems to be originating from a determined individial or an organised group. More information can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#User:Cuchufleta ↗.

The EBU released their participants list ↗ for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest ↗ on 31 December 2009. 39 countries will take part. Five of these qualify directly to the final, with the 34 remaining countries each competing in one of two semi-finals (seventeen per semi-final).

Five countries have declared they will be withdrawing from the contest in 2010. The Czech Republic ↗ are withdrawing due to three semi-final failures and a lack of interest from Czech ↗ viewers. Andorra ↗, Hungary ↗, Lithuania ↗, and Montenegro ↗ have all declared they are withdrawing for financial reasons.

Georgia ↗ is the only country that has declared it will be returning to the contest.

No debuts are planned either with Liechtenstein's ↗ only broadcaster 1FLTV ↗ having ruled out joining the European Broadcasting Union ↗ (EBU) for December 2009. This made a debut by the country for the 2010 Contest no longer possible.

Despite the 2010 Contest being many months away countries are now actively declaring which artists and songs will be representing them at the contest. A table for this can be found at Eurovision Song Contest 2010#Participants ↗. Nearly all of the declared participants now have dedicated entry articles ↗.

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2009 ↗ was held on 21 November 2009 and was won by Ralf Mackenbach ↗ of the Netherlands ↗ with the song "Click Clack ↗".

'''Welcome to the fifteenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!'''

Another decade has past for the Eurovision Song Contest. The naughties ↗ will probably be remembered as a decade of both success and controversy for the contest.

Televoting ↗ reached its peak in the early 2000s. This gave the contest a more democratic edge, but by 2008 it was widely believed to have made Eurovision resemble a political and geographic football match rather than a song contest. The EBU took action in 2009 ↗ by reducing televoting to having only a 50% weighting in the results of each contest.

Many new countries have joined the contest in the last decade, bringing the number of participants to a new high. Among this some countries withdrew while others returned, though one of the major missing countries, Italy ↗, did not make a return as was hoped by many.

There was not a shortage of controversy either. Two participants went to war ↗, and the buzz over the planned participation of Kosovo ↗ put Eurovision in the middle of a political storm ↗. One also cannot forget that this decade saw the introduction of two spin-off contests - the Junior Eurovision Song Contest ↗ and the Eurovision Dance Contest ↗. It is still not fully clear on how these fit into this project, perhaps we will work that out during the tens ↗.

Happy editing in a new year and decade,

The articles by quality table ↗ has been changed for all WikiProjects as a result of changes to the WP 1.0 bot. Due to these changes editors are encouraged to add the {{tlx|EurovisionNotice}} banner to the talk pages of categories, files, templates, portals, disambiguation pages, as well as articles and project pages. This has the benefit of making the table more complete and covering such pages under article alerts ↗.

An FAQ ↗ has been created for the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 ↗ page in an attempt to mitigate repetitive discussions on the talk page ↗ about content in the article. This has not been previously done for a Eurovision article, though they are also used in other high profile areas such as Barack Obama ↗ and global warming ↗.

There has been persistent problems on Anna Vissi ↗ related articles with a disruptive IP hopping editor making repeated sweeping and unwanted changes to the articles despite being asked to stop. An account that displayed similar behaviour, {{user|JORJKIE.AV}}, has now been blocked indefinitely and some pages have had to be semi-protected for long periods.

Disruption continues from sock puppets ↗ of banned ↗ user {{User|Xtinadbest}}, including on Eurovision related articles. Editors are advised to report suspicious activity from new accounts to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Xtinadbest ↗.

; Eurovision News

On 7 February 2010 a draw ↗ was held to decide which semi-final of the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest each country will participate in. The draw also decided, for countries qualified straight to the final, which semi-final they will vote in.

Notable confirmed changes to the format of the Eurovision Song Contest this year include that the semi-finals will now be divided into two halves, and that voting ↗ will be open throughout each show rather than only after all entries have preformed.

Five countries have now confirmed participation in the 2010 Junior Eurovision Song Contest ↗ which is scheduled for 20 November 2010. The contest will be held in Minsk ↗, Belarus ↗.

It was announced in January 2010 that the Third Eurovision Dance Contest ↗ has been postponed a second time. It was originally due to be held in 2009, but was then postponed till 2010, and may now not happen at all, at least within the next two years. The EBU have justified the decision by saying there has been a decline in the popularity of TV dance shows.

'''Welcome to the sixteenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!'''

We're in full swing now! Although the Eurovision Song Contest is around 2 months away, this is probably one of the busiest times of the year for the WikiProject, with a whole load of semi-finals, quarter finals, heats as well as national finals to see who the country chooses to represent them at this years Eurovision Song Contest.

We now know which of the 35 countries will vote and perform in which semi-final ↗. With the 'Big Four' and host country, Germany and Spain voting in the first semi-final and France, Norway and the United Kingdom in the second semi-final.

With 22 out of the 39 countries decided, we are just about half way through, with a whole lot more to come!

So when creating new articles about a performer or song, please remember to add sources ↗ either from Eurovision.tv, ESCToday or other reliable sources.

Please get involved, and contribute anything to articles whether it's a little spelling mistake or a whole new paragraph, and remember to look at the talk pages and have your say on any discussions that may be present.

''Due to the article alert bot being out of service indefinitely, it is now much more difficult for newsletter staff to keep up-to-date with all project activity. If editors wish to be sure that an article achievement or Eurovision news story is included in the newsletter, it is important that they let the newsletter writers know about it ↗.''

; Project News

<font color="red">There is currently a proposal ↗ to restructure this WikiProject and further define its scope. All members are strongly encouraged to comment.</font>

The Newsletter Department ↗ is looking for editors who are willing to help publish the newsletter. Once published every month, a lack of help forced it to be published less and less often. Interested editors are welcome to suggest news, gather information, and suggest improvements.

Looking for something to do? We have a large quantity of articles tagged for clean-up. Even addressing one tag would be a great help. You can see the full list here ↗.

According to our quality statistics ↗, most articles are assessed. It is important to point out that articles are edited everyday! Take some initiative and confirm that the WikiProject Eurovision assessment for the article you are working on matches its condition and update it if necessary. We use the general assessment scale ↗ created by the Editorial Team ↗.

Members have been joining very slowly. A good project has as many members as possible and this helps in discussions and editing so that members are not overwhelmed. If every member could invite a friend or acquaintance using our invitation template ↗, it would make our project much more efficient. One little edit on a friend's talk page? Why not, it takes two seconds!

The membership list ↗ was recently re-organised with five usernames removed from the list due to these accounts being controlled by blocked ↗ or banned ↗ users, and to deal with cases where editors had added themselves to the list twice. Some usernames were also moved from the active to inactive list, and vice versa.

; Eurovision News

The 2010 Contest ↗ was won by Germany ↗'s Lena Meyer-Landrut ↗ with the song "Satellite ↗". The 2011 Contest ↗ will subsequently be held in Germany next year in a city and venue to be determined.

Spain ↗'s 2010 performance was stage crashed by Jimmy Jump ↗ and they were given a second chance to perform their song following the last song of the final.

Germany also became the first country to select its performer for the 2011 Contest, with Lena Meyer-Landrut set to defend her title.

Austria ↗ announced it's return to the Contest for 2011, with its last appearance being in 2007 when it placed second to last in the semi-final and did not progress to the final.

In late July, Liechtenstein ↗ submitted its application to join the EBU. With EBU membership, Liechtenstein would be able to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest. Managing director Peter Kölbel stated that there were "good chances" for a participation in 2011 if admittance is granted to the organization.

'''Welcome to the seventeenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!'''

I apologize for the lack of a newsletter these past few months as I had gotten quite busy in life. Adding to that, the lack of group participation by editors made me feel like my efforts were a waste of time that no one appreciates.

I think it is important that we behave like a "club" of sorts and have fun editing Eurovision articles. Eurovision is a fun event and we should be able to discuss the results, talk about Contest related possibilities and work to expand knowledge of the Contest to those who may not be familiar with it. When I edit articles, I hope that someone will come along later and say "wow, all of this happened and I didn't even know it!" Come on guys, get each other's instant messenger ↗ name and team up to make an article great!

Feel free to add the {{tlx|WikiProject Eurovision}} template to the talk page of any new Eurovision articles you create.

The Eurovision Song Contest now has its own stub ↗ template at {{tlx|Eurovision-stub}}. Please only use this on Eurovision Song Contest stubs, with {{tlx|Music-stub}} and {{tlx|Dance-stub}} being the appropriate template for other Eruovision contests.

; Important News

There is a RfC ↗ discussion in regards to article layout, taking place on the <u>'''project talk page ↗'''</u>. Could '''''all members''''' please ensure that they participate in the discussion so that we can all agree on important article structure issues. If you don't take part, then you only have yourselves to blame if a consensus is passed that you disagree with.

----
; Project News ↗

When creating new articles about a performer or song, please remember to add sources ↗ either from Eurovision.tv, ESCToday or other reliable sources ↗. If you're not sure a source is reliable enough, then ask the project for an opinion.

Data tables of winners for OGAE ↗ and Marcel Bezençon Awards ↗ have been mass added under the radar across a variety of Eurovision articles without any consensus ↗, which there should be for something like that. These sections have been badly formatted with various problems including inappropriate links in the section headings (discouraged in MOS:HEAD ↗), no written explanation on what these tables mean, and most importantly, no sources ↗.

Remember to only add content to articles that is relevant to the article's main subject. Anything not in relation to the article may be questioned and/or subject to redirection to an article that would benefit it's inclusion. Again if in doubt, ask on the article or project talk pages for an opinion - communication is an important tool.

On the subject of communication, please make use of the article talk pages. They are a vital tool in conducting consensus talks of additions of proposed new sections and/or removal of unnecessary section. If you don't use these pages to put across your views, then you only have yourself to blame if actions are taken that you disagree with and you end up wandering into edit warring ↗ territory.

The 2012 season of Eurovision has drawn to a close, and we now start preparations for the 2013 edition. While things will be slow to start of with, now is the ideal opportunity to do a clean-up ↗ exercise across articles relating to the project. There's over 4,500 articles associated with the project. If you happen to see a Eurovision related article without the {{tl|EurovisionNotice}} template on the article's talk page, please add it. You can also read Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment ↗ if you would like to help assess or reassess articles in our project if you see that they have outgrown their current assessment. There is currently one unassessed article.

'''''And finally...''''' a massive thank you to all members of the project for your constant hard work on collaborating and contributing to Eurovision ↗ related articles. Keep up the good work team!

'''Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome!'''

Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. It is easy for editors to get into conflict with each other, and things can get very nasty on the most trivial of issues, whether that be on the language of songs, the names of certain countries, or how we deal with incidents at the contest. In such circumstances it is worth remembering one thing: we are all here to build an encyclopedia, and the contribution of Eurovision to human knowledge can only be given justice if we work together and make articles, not drama ↗!

'''If you would like something to appear in the August 2012 Edition of the newsletter, then please inform us at the ''Project Newsdesk ↗'''''.

'''If there is an article you think we should have? Request it here ↗.'''

Happy editing!
----
; Project News ↗

When creating new articles about a performer or song, please remember to add sources ↗ either from Eurovision.tv, ESCToday or other reliable sources ↗. If you're not sure a source is reliable enough, then ask the project for an opinion.

Remember to only add content to articles that is relevant to the article's main subject. Anything not in relation to the article may be questioned and/or subject to redirection to an article that would benefit it's inclusion. Again if in doubt, ask on the article or project talk pages for an opinion - communication is an important tool.

On the subject of communication, please make use of the article talk pages. They are a vital tool in conducting consensus talks of additions of proposed new sections and/or removal of unnecessary section. If you don't use these pages to put across your views, then you only have yourself to blame if actions are taken that you disagree with and you end up wandering into edit warring ↗ territory.

The 2012 season of Eurovision has drawn to a close, and we now start preparations for the 2013 edition. While things will be slow to start of with, now is the ideal opportunity to do a clean-up ↗ exercise across articles relating to the project. There's over 4,500 articles associated with the project. If you happen to see a Eurovision related article without the {{tl|EurovisionNotice}} template on the article's talk page, please add it. You can also read Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment ↗ if you would like to help assess or reassess articles in our project if you see that they have outgrown their current assessment. There is currently one unassessed article.

'''''And finally...''''' a massive thank you to all members of the project for your constant hard work on collaborating and contributing to Eurovision ↗ related articles. Keep up the good work team!

'''Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome!'''

Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project.

The past month has been an eventful one for the project as a whole. Old dramas have closed, new ones have begun. Four articles nominated for GA review, three of them passed and promoted, with one of them making ProjectEurovision history by being the first annual contest article to ever achieve GA status. If it wasn't for the hard work and the many hours of team collaborations that we have endured on this project, then those accolades would never have been gained. Each of those article promotions are as a result of your continuous determination to be part of the best team this project has seen for a long time. There is a teamwork barnstar with this newsletter for you to cherish and you may display the award on your pages if you wish. Now we look to the months ahead and start preparations for Malmo 2013, and see if we can work to getting another annual article to GA status. Here's to you - the team of excellence.

If you would like something to appear in the September 2012 Edition of the newsletter, then please inform us at the '''Project Newsdesk ↗'''.

If there is an article you think we should have? Request it '''here ↗'''.

'''And finally...''' a massive thank you to all members of the project for your constant hard work on collaborating and contributing to Eurovision ↗ related articles. Keep up the good work team!

Happy editing!

Project 1 - Contest by year and contest related pages ↗ involves:

:*A page for each year's contest
:*Improving/maintaining all the contest related pages in the project.

Project 2 - Contestants and songs ↗ involves:

:*Creating a page for each contestant and song involved in the contest.

Project 3 - "Country" in the contest ↗ involves:

:*Creating a page for each participating country in the contest. This will give information about a country's efforts and achievements in Eurovision.

Project 4 - "Country" in the contest "year" ↗ involves:

:*Creating a page for each country participating in the contest each year. This will give information about the year in Eurovision for that country, like how the song was chosen (selection events), how well it did, any other information about its participation that year.

Project 5 - Sourcing ↗ involves:

:*On Wikipedia, it is very important not only to have the correct information, but to show where you got it from so it can be verified ↗. Editor's should be finding additional sources to reference information with.
:*This project also includes checking all similar pages to make sure things are consistent across the board and correcting any errors. A listing of pages marked for some sort of cleanup is available here ↗.
:* When creating new articles about a performer or song, please remember to add sources ↗ either from Eurovision.tv, ESCToday or other reliable sources ↗. If you're not sure a source is reliable enough, then ask others members of the project.

Project 6 – Assessment ↗ involves:

:*Assessing project pages. The first thing to do to assess an article is to add {{t|EurovisionNotice|class=}}, the project banner, to the talk page of an article if it does not have one. If an article already has a banner, you should assess the article using the assessment scale ↗. Assessing articles gives us a good idea about the quality of the articles in our project and can help identify short comings.

Communication ↗ involves:

:* Remember to only add content to articles that is relevant to the article's main subject. Anything not in relation to the article may be questioned and/or subject to redirection to an article that would benefit it's inclusion. Again if in doubt, ask on the article or project talk pages for an opinion - communication is an important tool.

WikiProject Eurovision ↗: Recent changes

Hello,

Please note that there have been some changes to operations surrounding Eurovision articles, these being that:

Template names have now been modernised and/or megred into super-templates, for example Countries in the Eurovision Song Contest has now been merged into Template:Eurovision Song Contest ↗ making it even easier to find everything under one template. If you are planning to create a new template, please keep the standardised titles in mind. Other templates have been modernised and a full list of them can be found here ↗.

The Eurovision Song Contest and Junior Eurovision Song Contest articles have now been standardised to keep a consitancy throughout the project and to the genral reader too. Skeleton article drafts can be found for Eurovision Song Contest by Year ↗ and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year ↗.

If you have any questions, please ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision ↗.

You are receiving this message since you are listed as a member of WikiProject Eurovision. If you are no longer interested in contributing to Eurovision articles, please remove your username from this page ↗.

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Stef de Genf ↗

A tag has been placed on :Stef de Genf ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate ↗ how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable ↗.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by visiting the page ↗ and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Stef+de+Genf|deleting administrator}}.  &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) ↗ 06:54, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
