EUROVISION monthly Issue: Issue XXXI HOME • TALK • PORTAL • NEWSDESK • ARCHIVES • UNSUBSCRIBE Editor's Message Bienvenue! Velkommen! Welcome! Another month has gone by and with plenty of ups and downs within this project. An RfC has been rebooted on the project talk page (see Project Alerts below for more details). The OGAE articles are undergoing a complete rewrite to make these articles look more presentable and give more encyclopaedic value to them. They were in a disastrous and neglected state previously, so it is about time they got some well needed TLC treatment given to them all. Eurovision Song Contest 2013 is looking near completed, and in preparation for a GA-class submission. A huge thank you to all those who have contributed on that article in the last 12 months - some WikiLove to everyone for your continuous teamwork. For those of you who have got Eurovision withdrawal symptoms, then don't panic. We have the ABU TV Song Festival 2013 in Vietnam to look forward to, as well as the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Kiev. Your contributions to both of these articles are gratefully appreciated. Remember it is teamwork collaborations that help to make this project a success. And as always, be on the look out for potential new members to the project. Post {{subst:EurovisionInvite}} (which will produced this template) on any user page you think is interested to join the WikiProject, to officially invite them to join. Happy editing! Wesley Headlines Page Milestones There are no new milestones to report this month. Project Alerts Please remember to keep checking the project articles that have been flagged up as an alert. Since our last publication the following are listed as alerts: There is a RFC taking place on the project talk page which could do with as many members contributing to it. Your say will help to achieve consensus on how '[Country]' in the Eurovision Song Contest articles should be stylised and written more encyclopaedically for the general audience and not just for the average ESC-fan. Please KEEP IT CIVIL!!! Eurovision Song Contest 2013 will shortly be going through the annual process of a post-Contest tidy-up, in preparation for a GA-class submission. We will keep you posted of that process in due course. OGAE and other articles relating to the organisation are going through an extensive rewriting exercise. Some of the article were in a very poor state, with the lead section of OGAE being an exact word-for-word copy of the "about us" section of OGAE's Facebook page. This was a violation of WP:COPYVIO, and has now been averted thanks to Wesley's hard work fixing the articles. Click here to view the full list of new and existing alerts. Eurovision Song Contest - Denmark 2014 A semi-protection has been placed onto the article to prevent further disruptive and unsourced editing from IPs. The protection expires in September 2013. Remember to use reliable sources at all times. Anything unsourced and/or is using an unreliable source will be removed. A list of some reliable sources can be found by clicking here. Avoid using the term "possible debut", "possible return", and "possible withdrawal". The term possible makes us sound speculative and is prohibited per Crystal Ball guidelines. Any such information should be added to the "Other countries" section, with a citation for verifiability. Also make sure that you regularly communicate with fellow project members via article talk pages. Communication is a natural human skill, and we should be trying our best to discuss things with each other, so that we all know what is going on. None of us are mind-readers. Junior Eurovision Song Contest - Kyiv 2013 The eleventh edition of Junior Eurovision is scheduled to take place in Kyiv, Ukraine on 30 November 2013. Seven countries have so far confirmed their participation, with Belgium having announced their withdrawal. Please discuss any news or potential additions to the article via the article talk or Project talk page - Thank You! ABU TV Song Festival - Hanoi 2013 The second ABU TV Song Festival is scheduled to take place on 26 October 2013, in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi in the Opera House. The host broadcaster will be Vietnam Television. The article is already up and running. Your help to improve the article is gratefully appreciated. Keep a look out for news articles regarding participations etc. So far only Vietnam and Indonesia are confirmed. ABU Radio Song Festival - Colombo 2014 The Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) have confirmed that the 2014 Radio Festival will take place in Colombo, Sri Lanka hosted by national broadcaster MBC Networks. As it is too soon to start work on the new article, can we please try and avoid creating one. Unless of course, there's enough information out there that would warrant an early creation.

Now I like the disclaimer on your main page. That is much better, and informs others that items are for your referencing aids when it comes to editing articles. Although are you aware of sandboxes? They are spaces that every user can create, and are almost exempt from the rules of WP:UP (or as far as I am aware anyway. Even I have 20 sandboxes which are for the same purpose as what you have stated on your disclaimer. See WP:SAND for further details if you are interested in creating your own, or alternatively User:Karlwhen/sandbox would be where you will find yours. Wesley ☮ Mouse 19:17, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eurovision Mini Memorandum 30 June 2013 There are a couple of discussions taking place via the project talk page that require urgent attention from as many members as possible. These are... A new RfC has opened at Project Eurovision in regards to how "Country by Contest" articles such as Albania in the Eurovision Song Contest, Denmark in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest and Australia in the ABU Song Festivals will be stylised. Also there is an urgent discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#Colour codes for last placings, which is discussing a matter in connection to chromostereopsis (blue text on red backgrounds). And finally, the newsdesk are looking to recruit a couple of project volunteers to assist in compiling the monthly newsletters, as one of the co-ordinators has taken an indefinite period of time away from Wikipedia due to personal reasons.

I don't think I agree with radically altering the entire table of each nation's contestants and entries in order to add information solely for the 1996 contest. Rather than altering the tables, they should be restored to how they were and a footnote for the 1996 should be added. The current sea of "N/A"s is just plain ridiculous. T.W.

In accordance with the guidelines at WP:TPO I have moved the discussion at Talk:United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest#New Voting Design to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#Voting history. This is because the topic was more relevant to all articles and not just the United Kingdom one. Such a move makes way for more project members to find the discussion in an area that is of more relevance than its original position. I have kept the original too but placed it in a collapsed box per guidance outlines at WP:TPOC. Wesley ☮ Mouse 13:45, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Karlwhen, just a quick note to let you know that you made a factual error on Andorra in the Eurovision Song Contest and Serbia and Montenegro in the Eurovision Song Contest. If you check the official information at eurovision.tv, Andorra did indeed finish last place. Only 23 countries participated in the semi-final, but 24 countries cast votes. This is because the Montenegrin independence referendum, 2006, and the Serbia & Montenegro made a request to the EBU for a formal withdrawal from the Eurovision Song Contest 2006. The EBU granted their request, but gave them permission to still vote in the contest itself. This is shown on the EBU's participants list which reads "Withdrew from the competition, but still voted". I have therefore reverted the factual error. Wesley Mᴥuse 16:46, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But it says on the EBU's Eurovision site on the scoreboard that Serbia & Montenegro placed 24th even though they sent no entry. Karlwhen, Karlwhen, 7:22pm, 1st October 2013.

I feel you may be misinterpreting the information on that website. Even the article for Serbia and Montenegro explicitly states that Serbia and Montenegro did not participate. A country cannot be given a placing if it never participated with an entry. Serbia were only given voting rights because they withdrew at the last minute. The EBU list them as 24th on the scoreboard, but if you click on the "participants" tab of the same website you will see that the EBU state that Serbia did not compete, but were listed as being the 24th voting nation. Only 23 countries performed on stage, thus making Andorra (who came in 23rd place) being the country who finished in last place. It is common logic based on the factual evidence. I've added footnotes to both Andorra and Serbia & Montenegro to explain this facts. Wesley Mᴥuse 18:31, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move evidence

• Diggiloo Thrush have Adnorra's worst placing as being last in 2006. If you place the cursor of DNQ for 2006 entry is shows "23rd place in semi-final.
• EBU have Andorra finishing in 23rd for 2006.
• EBU - about the semi-final If you read the second paragraph it reads "23 countries took part in the Semi-Final...". Therefore the nation who finished in 23rd place, finished last. Serbia & Montenegro were only the 24th voting nation in the semi-final, and the 38th nation in the final. Only 37 countries competed in the entire contest (semis and final). Wesley Mᴥuse 18:43, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the work you are doing on articles such as Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest by adding the {{Sort}} template and including the language columns too. I'm assuming you're going to do this on all of the articles? If so, remember to avoid overlinking, you only need to link the first reference of a language, the rest is OK to be done in normal text. Keep up the good work, I'm sure there's a barnstar somewhere as a sign of appreciation, I'll look for one now and award it to you shortly. Wesley Mᴥuse 15:01, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Karlwhen,

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but unfortunately all the 12 point voting trend tables that you added to 'Country in Eurovision' articles have been removed due to the WP:NOTSTATSBOOK and WP:TRIVIA policies. Apparently if we're to show a voting trend, then we're to show all points and not just 12's. And if we did that for all the points given/received, then we're violating WP:NOTSTATSBOOK for producing excessive lists of statistics. Plus they breach WP:TRIVIA, as the information is easily researched elsewhere. The primary goal for Wikipedia is to produce encyclopaedic material, without using trivial material. So unfortunately as the policy is preventing the addition of any of these tables, they have all been removed. I can only offer sympathy, as it can feel disheartening by the loss of so many man-hours that is put into our hard work. But policies are there for a reason to guide us along the right path in creating the perfect article. Wes Mᴥuse 05:14, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The more objectives you do, the more points you will earn. So have you got what it takes to be crowned Project Eurovision Member of the Month? . The Project Cup judges, Wesley Mouse and CT Cooper, wish you all the best of luck.

Karlwhen,

You have been a member of WikiProject Eurovision long enough now to know that we do not make massive changes to styling without seeking consensus via the project talk page first. So making an edit like this to United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest was appalling behaviour to have undertaken. All the layout styling are decided upon via opening a new Request for Comment discussion on the project talk page, and then all members are able to contribute to the discussion, and share their views as to why they feel it may or may not work. I have reverted the edit, and strongly urge that if you wish for the new styling to be implemented, that you engage in discussion at Project Eurovision, and see if the proposed changes are fine with everyone else, so that they may be used across all the other [Country] in Eurovision Song Contest articles. The current layout guidelines can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Format and Guides. Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 20:26, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Eurovision Important Announcement Dear Project Member Following a project community discussion, which was raised over the use of English translation columns on annual contest articles, and advice from the lead coordinator of The Guild of Copy Editors, who are extremely knowledgeable in regards to all editing practises and manual of style policies. A consensus decision has been reached to fully remove ALL English translations, as such content falls under the prohibition on original research, even if it seems helpful to the reader. This is because we have now to assume that every reader has access to automated translation tools that can always give them a sense of the meaning of the title in their native language; it is not Wikipedia's job to provide those tools for the reader. Which therefore means we are no longer to include an English translation column, nor are we to provide translation by any other means on contest articles. Such information is currently in the process of being removed, and a new table formatting and layout style is being rolled out across all articles. Please view the new guidance on table layout at Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Format and Guides#Article layout. An example of the new table layout style can also be access via the collapsed section within this message. Thank you. New table format and layout per advice from the guild of copy-editors and consensus of the project community Draw Country Artist Song Language Place Points 01  Ukraine Mariya Yaremchuk "Tick-Tock" English 6 113 02  Belarus Teo "Cheesecake" English 16 43 03  Azerbaijan Dilara Kazimova "Start a Fire" English 22 33 04  Iceland Pollapönk "No Prejudice" English 15 58 05  Norway Carl Espen "Silent Storm" English 8 88 06  Romania Paula Seling & Ovi "Miracle" English 12 72 07  Armenia Aram MP3 "Not Alone" English 4 174 08  Montenegro Sergej Ćetković "Moj svijet" Montenegrin 19 37 09  Poland Donatan & Cleo "My Słowianie – We Are Slavic" Polish, English 14 62 10  Greece Freaky Fortune feat.

An article you recently created, 2020 Milton Keynes Council election, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
