- "Article Alerts" are available on our Eurovision project page and show which project related articles are tagged for things such as deletion, GA review, peer review, etc. Take a look and do what you can to help out.
- Thanks to Afkatk's recent tagging and assessing spree, there are now over 2,700 articles associated with the project and all are assessed. 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 reassess articles in our project if you see that they have outgrown their current assessment.

- The Eurovision Song Contest 2009 was successfully held in Moscow, Russia this month. Two semi final shows preceded the final again this year. The first semi final was won by Iceland, while the second was won by Norway. Alexander Rybak won the Contest for Norway with the song "Fairytale" by a record breaking total of 387 points.
- Following Norway's win, the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 will be held in Oslo and take place between May 25 and 29, 2010.
- F. Y. R. Macedonia is threatening to withdraw from the 2010 Contest with the reasoning that it has come tenth twice in successive years in the semi final stage, but has failed to proceed to the final in both instances.
- More than a dozen countries have already confirmed their participation for the 2010 Contest. The countries confirmed so far can be seen here.
- Wikinews wrapped up its pre-Eurovision "special" with an interview set with eight past contestants. Jessica Garlick, Ani Lorak, Marie N, Niels Olsen, Hanna Pakarinen, Charlotte Perrelli, Sirusho and Tajci all participated. The Wikipedia Signpost covered the interviews in its May 25 issue. The interviews were translated into nine languages (Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian), marking the largest translation effort Wikinews has undertaken.
- TROS will be the new broadcaster for the Netherlands as NOS has withdrawn.

Welcome to the tenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!
This month was a very busy month in terms of editing and adding to Eurovision 2009 articles. The 2009 contest is now over but there is still much work to be done.
Some Country in ESC 2009 pages are yet to have their "At Eurovision" sections updated. Some countries need more information than others, e.g. Slovenia's article needs to mention that the song was actually sung in Slovenian and English, and not just English like in the official mp3, etc.
Work has begun on the 2010 contest article already. Please do not add sections to the article about confirmed participants or withdrawn participants unless you have a source!
That's all from me this month!
Happy editing, Nathan | talk 16:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC).[reply]
