Project Eurovision RFC discussion reminder

[edit]

WikiProject Eurovision: This is a reminder to all members of Project Eurovision, that there is still an ongoing RfC discussion taking place at the project talk page. It is vital that everyone participates in this discussion, as it concerns the future manual of style and article layout in regards to Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year articles. This is your ideal opportunity to contribute suggestions and ideas on a major issue, which will reflect on the way these articles will be written in future. Thank You!

Definition of secondary sources

[edit]

Hi Dfizzles,

You've just added a new source to ESC 2012 and classified it as a secondary source. However, the definition is incorrect. Eurovision.tv is the primary source; as that site belongs to the EBU, the people who announced the split votes. The source which was already in use from ESCToday is the secondary source. Just thought I'd clear that up, so that you know the difference. WesleyMouse 14:37, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Teehee, its easily done. I suppose the grammatical correct way could have been "adding primary source, as an additional secondary back-up to references". WesleyMouse 14:43, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Message from the Editorial 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 {{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!

Project Alerts

Project Gossip
  • The RfC discussion in regards to article layout, is still taking place on the project talk page. 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.

WikiProject Eurovision: Recent changes

[edit]

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.

Eurovision 2014 scoretable

[edit]

Hi Dfizzles,

Whilst you're dealing with the final scoretable for Eurovision 2014 (which is gratefully appreciated), would you be able to reword the bottom tagline which currently reads "The table is vertically ordered by appearance in the final and horizontally by voting order". It would appear that the horizontal line is also in appearance order and not "voting order" as it states. I would have altered it myself, but didn;t want to cause any edit conflicts towards yourself whilst you are in mid-flow updating that particular section. Thanks. Wes Mᴥuse 02:31, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Hi Dfizzles,

Just a quick note to inform you that I've moved your comment at Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 2015 to the new thread Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 2015#ORF shortlisted number of venues, so that all the old discussions can be archived, whilst keeping your comment in a more prominent place. Plus I've left a reply. According to the EBU only 3 venues are short-listed and no backup options. However, as ESCToday are stating differently, I've created a footnote for those alleged "backup venues" onto the main article. Wes Mᴥuse 16:10, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
