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 Misplaced Pages 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!

Junior Eurovision Song Contest - AMSTERDAM 2012

  • 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.

File:Our Sound - The Asia-Pacific Song Contest logo.svg
  • After several postponements, the first contest is now scheduled to take place in the South Korean capital of Seoul; on 14 October 2012.
  • Could all members please find any reliable sources on participants etc, so that we can consider creating an article for this event.
Eurovision Young Musicians - VIENNA 2012
  • 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.
Eurovision Young Dancers - OSLO 2011

Eurovision Dance Contest - GLASGOW 2008
  • 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.
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.
Project News
  • A page for each year's contest
  • Improving/maintaining all the contest related pages in the project.
  • Creating a page for each contestant and song involved in the contest.
  • Creating a page for each participating country in the contest. This will give information about a country's efforts and achievements in Eurovision.
  • 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 Misplaced Pages, 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.

New Recruits

We would like to welcome the following new members who joined since our July publication.

This newsletter was delivered on 19:42, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Disappearance of Melanie Melanson

I'd say go for it. We have Disappearance of Suzy Lamplugh, Disappearance of Sarah MacDiarmid, Disappearance of Genette Tate and Disappearance of April Fabb to name a few. It looks like this particular case is the subject of a cold case review, and it has received some international coverage, so I can't see a problem with it personally. Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:15, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

re image requested

Is the photograph I added to the Talk:The Graaf Sisters of the correct people?--Traveler100 (talk) 18:37, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

No, sorry.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:47, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

re image requested 2

Please note that {{reqphoto}} template or needs-photo=yes in {{WikiProject Biography}} template achieves the same result as {{Image requested}}. There is no need to add a duplicate. --Traveler100 (talk) 05:11, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Tia Sharp

I can't help thinking it's a bit early to start something like this as she only disappeared a few days ago. Having said that, there is a lot of press coverage, and there's a substantial offer for information from one national newspaper so maybe it reaches the guidelines. Also I notice another editor added criticism of the BBC's coverage of this case. If that gets picked up by the media then that may also make it further notable. IMHO I think it is bad that the BBC has chosen to run the Olympics as its main headlines while sidelining everything else that's going on in the world, but I guess that's slightly off-topic. And ultimately, one can only hope she is found safe and well, and we've no need to expand this. Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:14, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Carole Waugh

Actually, while I'm here what are your thoughts on an article about the Carole Waugh case. It's still early days but there's a lot of information coming out that could make for an interesting article. Paul MacDermott (talk) 11:21, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. Have created Death of Carole Waugh with some background on the case. I'll do some more research into it, but feel free to help expand it. Cheers Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:24, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
It is a interesting article so far. I will check for more information and try to expand it. But you pretty much have covered the case updates so far. Good work!--BabbaQ (talk) 17:46, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Eurovision article needs saving

BabbaQ, Someone has nominated Estonia's 2005 ESC participant 'Suntribe' for deletion along with their song article too stating they are not "notable". Needs saving me thinks. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Suntribe Wesley Mouse 11:45, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

There's another one - I'm seeing a pattern emerging here. Wesley Mouse 23:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
