Hello, Redpower94, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Click Clack, please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

I know, I looked it up and fixed the article, but it was annoying that you just changed one small thing making the page contradict itself. What's the use changing it if the reader will have no idea what's going on? Grk1011/Stephen (talk) 16:59, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
Big Brother Germany
The iformation you are adding to this article is unnecessary. That information is already in the other 2 tables, you can see there when and why the contestants leave the house. Joaq0 (talk) 13:35, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Mass removal of references
I don't know why on earth you consider it appropriate to remove references from all the 2010 Eurovision articles, and without any sort of discussion. This is severely disruptive editing. ninety:one (reply on my talk) 21:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Lena Meyer-Landrut does Indie-Pop?
Hi there. Thanks for your contributions to the article Lena Meyer-Landrut. could you please provide a source for one of Meyer-Landrut's genres being Indie-Pop? She has only released three songs so far and as far as I have read those have only been called Pop-songs. Janfrie1988 (talk) 22:00, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Keine Notwendigkeit für Entschuldigungen! Be Bold! Ich glaube nur, dass man "ihren" Musikstil nicht daran festmachen kann, was sie in den Castingshows gesungen hat, sondern nur über die Musik, die sie als Künstlerin selbst herausgebracht hat. Und das sind ja bisher nur drei Lieder ;). Pop habe ich als Beschreibung von Satellite, Bee und Love Me schon häufiger gelesen, Indie-Pop noch nicht. Bei Wikipedia dürfen wir ja nur belegbare Fakten dokumentieren. Also, wenn du eine Quelle findest, sehr schön! Ansonsten würde ich sagen, wir belassens bei Pop. Oder was meinst du?

Tables
Please stop adding points tables to all of the articles. It was decided a year or two ago that we should use prose (writing) to describe them since it is more formal. Also, wikipedia can't be its own source, so please do not link the main contest page as a reference. Also, in the future please do not randomly decide to change hundreds of articles. You need to discuss it first to make sure there is consensus to make such drastic changes. If you would like permission to continue, please start a discussion on the project talk where the community will decide what to do, otherwise undo all of your edits.

I didn't nominate the article because the information was wrong, I nominated it because there is so little definite information on the subject. See WP:CRYSTAL for further information. Regards, RadManCF☢open frequency14:02, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter - March through July 2010
Note: the Newsletter is "collapsed" for convenience. To see the full letter, click on the "show" button at the right end of the gray bar.
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
There is currently a proposal to restructure this WikiProject and further define its scope. All members are strongly encouraged to comment.
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.
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!
The project currently has 82 members, with seven joining and one leaving during the last five months. Note that the membership list was recently re-organised (see left), and that in the future only members listed as active Eurovision editors will receive this newsletter.
Want to invite new members? Place our invitation template on the talk page of anyone you would like to invite to our project.
New Members
We would like to welcome the new members who joined between March and July (by date joined):
I guess you heard about the DSDS voting problem. I Put the problem under the controversies section. First of all, I would like to get a correct translation from Dr. Fleischman in that section. Would you be able to help translate? The Google translator didn't exatly help me with the translation of what he said. Second of all, could you review the information I put into the controversies section about the voting problem to make sure that there is no problem with the translation. Here is the reference I used for that vting problem. Kingjeff (talk) 00:29, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

{{WikiProject Eurovision}} now accepts importance ratings as well as quality ratings, and the project now has a formal assessment department which gives details on how to assess articles, and provides a place for contributors to request re-assessment. Feel free to add the {{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 {{Eurovision-stub}}. Please only use this on Eurovision Song Contest stubs, with {{Music-stub}} and {{Dance-stub}} being the appropriate template for other Eruovision contests.
