Thanks for correcting some of my latest edits. There’s a lot of stuff to keep track of and I happen to make stupid mistakes because I rush. :) ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 16:20, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Your revert on Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest

MOS:DUPLINK says "Duplicate linking in stand-alone and embedded lists is permissible if it significantly aids the reader. This is most often the case when the list is presenting information that could just as aptly be formatted in a table, and is expected to be parsed for particular bits of data, not read from top to bottom. If the list is normal article prose that happens to be formatted as a list, treat it as normal article prose." this suggests that in a table, it is reasonable to link each occurrence. On my screen, the first occurrence of Natalie Barbu (where the link was) can't appear on screen at the same time as the 2024 line. I think its reasonable to provide that help to readers. Newystats (talk) 08:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

@Newystats: Ok I understand your point here. We have a longstanding convention at WikiProject Eurovision to link only the first instance of any given artist within tables where there are duplicates. In some cases artists have performed in consecutive contests, and duplicating the links in these rows would make very little sense given they are right beside each other. I'm not sure that "significantly aids the reader" is being fulfilled here by adding duplicate links, given that these tables are generally not too big (at least compared to other tables on other articles across Wikipedia) and any repeat links are typically close together. Applying this rule consistently, and adding in all duplicate links to all other country article, I just don't see how, for example, having three linked Lys Assias in a row within Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest#Participation overview is particularly useful for the reader. This would be my concern if we were to start adding in duplicate links within one table, we would then have to consistently apply it across all our articles.

hi i don't understand why did you revert my edit Eurovizijafan (talk) 19:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

@Eurovizijafan: You did not include a source, and although you mentioned Eurovision World in your edit summary, you did not include a link to where the information is listed. When you add information to Wikipedia it's your responsibility to ensure that it is verifiable by other editors, which is done by adding reliable sources alongside your edits. Any material which has been added and that cannot be verified by a reliable source is subject to removal. Additionally, Eurovision World is not considered a reliable source for use within Wikipedia as the source of the information within its database is not listed, therefore it falls under the definition of a self-published source that contains user-generated content. Eurovision World lists Sweden as a participant in 2025, even though SVT has not released a statement on 2025 participation and no other Eurovision news sites have published material on a Swedish participation in 2025. For this reason Eurovision World cannot be considered a reliable source for this matter. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 20:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
