Hi. When you recently edited Channel 4, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mary (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thank You

Thank You Spa-Franks for my award - I honestly never expected to receive it. On a different note though about the Austrian language issue, someone (and I can only assume they noticed the query from Project Austria has stated that Bavarian is technically German, and that in Austria, they refer to the 'dialect' in question as Austrian Dialect. So perhaps it would be wise to list the article as Austrian, with the footnote explaining it is a dialect from Upper Austria. WesleyMouse 17:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm with you on that. But what we do to the 2012 article has got to be done to the 2003 article, which is why I proposed Styrian. Spa-Franks (talk) 17:45, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
There's not just the 2003 article, but also the 1971, and 1996 articles too. Perhaps listing all of those as "Austrian" and use a similar footnote as is used in 2012 to explain that even though the song is listed as "Austrian", the EBU classified it as Such'n'such-a-language. Keeps to consistency. WesleyMouse 18:14, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Over ref-linking on Eurovision Song Contest 2012

edit

Spa-Franks, I noticed the same reflink being used a plethora of times regarding participation lists, which you added a few moments ago. I have simplified your inclusion, so that the ref links appear on the column headers and not next to each artist/song. This is so that the reflist at the bottom of the article isn't drowned with too many "group link". WesleyMouse 21:14, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sorry if I mucked up the article and took too long. I'm not good at that sort of thing and just as we "found" the calendar, I "found" that. Besides, when I add a ref, it always goes wrong in some way! Spa-Franks (talk) 21:16, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Have you tried using the reftoolbar? I find it easier to use when it comes to adding refs. WesleyMouse 21:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yep! It's just, for instance, forgetting to delete a ref name I've replaced, or in the case of my horrible Italy ref, no </ref> tag. Spa-Franks (talk) 21:31, 10 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hmmm perhaps next time then, try using the "show preview" button, to see if your inclusions don't create ref errors, before saving the page into a final format. That's something I do regularly when I'm not rushing about or being distracted by the television, almost like a "print preview" before printing the final draft.

WikiProject Eurovision: This is a reminder to all members of Project Eurovision, that there is still an ongoing RfC discussion taking place at the project talk page. It is vital that everyone participates in this discussion, as it concerns the future manual of style and article layout in regards to Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year articles. This is your ideal opportunity to contribute suggestions and ideas on a major issue, which will reflect on the way these articles will be written in future. Thank You!

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 Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. It is easy for editors to get into conflict with each other, and things can get very nasty on the most trivial of issues, whether that be on the language of songs, the names of certain countries, or how we deal with incidents at the contest. In such circumstances it is worth remembering one thing: we are all here to build an encyclopedia, and the contribution of Eurovision to human knowledge can only be given justice if we work together and make articles, not drama!

  • If you would like something to appear in the August 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.

Happy editing!


Project News
  • 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 the project for an opinion.
  • 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.
  • The 2012 season of Eurovision has drawn to a close, and we now start preparations for the 2013 edition. While things will be slow to start of with, now is the ideal opportunity to do a clean-up exercise across articles relating to the project. There's over 4,500 articles associated with the project. 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 assess or reassess articles in our project if you see that they have outgrown their current assessment. There is currently one unassessed article.
  • 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!

Project Alerts
Headlines
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.

WikiProject Eurovision: Recent changes

edit

Hello,

Please note that there have been some changes to operations surrounding Eurovision articles, these being that:

  • Template names have now been modernised and/or megred into super-templates, for example Countries in the Eurovision Song Contest has now been merged into Template:Eurovision Song Contest making it even easier to find everything under one template. If you are planning to create a new template, please keep the standardised titles in mind. Other templates have been modernised and a full list of them can be found here.
  • The Eurovision Song Contest and Junior Eurovision Song Contest articles have now been standardised to keep a consitancy throughout the project and to the genral reader too. Skeleton article drafts can be found for Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year.

If you have any questions, please ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision.

Your fantastic suggestion for - Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election

edit

Just seen your graph for Spanish 2015 polls and I have to say I am impressed! This sort of graph is much better than we had before! It doesn't just show a trend line but you can actually see all the figures plotted on the graph! This satisfies all concerns even ones that I had already comprimised on! I always say if it's possible to include more detail simply and easily, then just do it! Great solution, really pleased with th idea. However I just want to check are you doing a line each for: Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem, UKIP and Others? 5Lines, just to be sure? Also for the UKIP data have you seperated it from "Others" for before 2012? If you have, have you remembered to subtract the UKIP figure from the "others" figure?

Help resolving an issue with UK Euro Elections 2009

edit

We have a bit of a dispute on this page and I think you might be able to help :-) We basically have aproblem with who to include in hnfo box and it seems obvious to everyone apart from one person. Please do not feel you have to read the whole thing, there's a lot there but it would be fantastic if you could look at the bottom 2 sections of the talk page (the one with links and the one with outside opinions) and let us know what your view is by putting a * before your comment. The argument basically goes that The BNP and The Green Party of England and Wales should not be included in the info box because past precedents set state that this is too low. European Parliament elections tend to have a 'cliff edge effect' whereby we deem a gap between 10 and 3 as significant or 10 and 2. In this case the diference i between 11 and 2, there seems to be no difference from 15years ago any yet someone is trying to change the rules!Oh well that's sometimes how a wikidebate goes! Anyways would really appreciate your help and once again...keep up the good work :-)Nick 01:12, 9 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
