Just dropping a quick line to let you know that all the improvements suggested so far in the review have been completed. A compromise has been made in regards to the split result tables, by placing them in collapsible boxes, as it does appear their relevance to the article are just as important to the scoreboards, and back up the section in the article that references the 50:50 split. By putting them into collapsible boxes keeps them hidden, but also allows the read the option to view them if they wish. Wesley☀Mouse17:00, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Wesley I am so so so sorry about the review. The only issue are the references. I will continue it tonight. Apologize again. — Tomica(talk)18:33, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
OK not to worry. Its just that time is literally running out for me at this end, as I'm a volunteer at the London 2012 Olympics which are a matter of days away now. So we could really do with trying to get thing concluded at some stage soon, otherwise it will be September before I will be able to fully concentrate on Wikipedia matters. The dates that I will be extremely busy are 26 July to 10 September. WesleyMouse18:59, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Tomica, I hope all is well with you. I'm starting the copy-edit to the above article that you requested at the GOCE Request page. Please feel free to contact me, or to correct or revert my edits if I'm doing something I shouldn't. I'm sorry you've waited a while for copy-edit. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 23:35, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
Woooha. I am fine, thanks for asking. Nevermind about the waiting. I trust in you, I believe you will give the best to lift the prose up. ;)— Tomica(talk)23:36, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
You still up for editing the list, we said we'd do it on Tuesday but seems like we both forgot. Rayman95(talk)23:26, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
As I said upper in my comment, I was out from town and didn't have internet access or PC, we are starting tomorrow If you can ;) ! — Tomica(talk)11:52, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot’s recommendations. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information in the consent information sheet.
We have added information about the opportunity to make substantial valuable contributions to an article using a Low/Medium/High scale which goes from Low to High . The score is calculated by combining an article's readership and quality.
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
Hello. I am Syedwaheedhussain. As you know I am a member of the Rihanna Project. As of now, can you tell me what articles are being undertaken by the Project members? Just to be acquainted of what's happening and to see if I can help. Thanks. Greetings. :) Syedwaheedhussain (talk) 09:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi Syedwaheedhussain, I guess you are doing well these days. Basically there is no "undertaking of articles". Calvin and me agreed to work on the album articles together (however, I don't know If that will happen), but maybe you can work on some of her collaborations. Tbh she needs to release her new album so for there is something to stuck on. Cheers! :) — Tomica(talk)13:16, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Well I guess same as you. There is plenty of time we will do it, together with the biography which is now completely ruined actually. — Tomica(talk)13:45, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
I haven't worked with anyone else lol. I don't mind when we start or which one we start with. Guess it makes logical sense to start with A Girl like Me then work forward. Why is the bio ruined? Aaron • You Da One14:11, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Aren't you working on Leona articles with Tbnotch? And yeah it is ruined because is trimmed and now looks like shit, when you look at it you get impression that Rihanna is a 2 year career star. — Tomica(talk)14:18, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Mhm. I misunderstood then. I partially agree with you I guess. But that was not my point here though. See how the Beyonce biography article looks, awesome and has GA status. Rihanna one now is trimmed and looks pretty much poor. Cited information which Rihanna herself claimed were removed so that's what bothers me there. And there is no problem I can have more projects on which I can work at same time. — Tomica(talk)14:26, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Well if we start with A Girl like Me, then do outstanding three, then write the Rihanna bio, and then write the Rihanna bio lead last. It's easier to summarize the article when the it's already written. Aaron • You Da One14:28, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Well to be entirely honest I don't know. But maximum for 10 days. I will not have internet access there. So when I am back I will write to you. — Tomica(talk)18:04, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Oh. I see. Yeah. A new album would be good to work on. Yes. So we should focus on improving the artciles I guess? Yes. I am doing well. Thank you. :)Syedwaheedhussain (talk) 08:55, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
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!
Please remember to keep checking the project articles that have been flagged up as an alert. Since our last publication the following alerts have flagged up:
So far 21 countries have confirmed participation for the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, which is scheduled to take place in Sweden. Please remember to only cite reliable sources when adding countries to the article.
The tenth edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest is scheduled to take place on the 1 December 2012, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Details about confirmed participation are slowly filtering out into the world wide web. Please cite reliable sources when including new information.
Israel announced on 10 July 2012 that they will make their début in Amsterdam. Thus bringing the total number of confirmed participant to 9 countries so far. The contest needs a minimum of eleven in order for the show to continue. The EBU had extended the submission deadline to 29 June 2012, although no further details in regards to the contest has been released.
On 11 May 2012, Norwegian, Eivind Holtsmark Ringstad, won the 16th Eurovision Young Musicians 2012, in Vienna, Austria. This is a biennial event, and the next contest will take place in 2014, with Vienna most likely to be the host nation for a fifth consecutive time.
Glasgow were the hosts of the Eurovision Dance Contest 2008, and since then there have been no announcements of the contest continuing with a third edition.
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.
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.
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.
Assessing project pages. The first thing to do to assess an article is to add {{EurovisionNotice}}, 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.
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.
Members The project had 92 members, with eighty-eight active, and four inactive members at the time of publication. If you are no longer interested in WikiProject Eurovision then please remove your name from this list Have you encountered an editor who is interested in Eurovision? Then why not place our invitation template on their talk page and welcome them to the project..
