Austrian language details on Eurovision Song Contest 2012 article
Hi Sims, there is currently a discussion going on at Talk:Eurovision_Song_Contest_2012#Austria_language_choice regarding the language details for Austria. Initially the article had the language down as 'German', then changed to 'Bavarian' by yourself, only to be changed again to 'Central Bavarian'. However, the Eurovision.tv website have the language choice detailed as being a dialect from the Mühlviertel region of Austria. As you have been altering the language for this, I was wondering if you'd be so kind as to participate in the talk page discussion, to assist in finding a consensus as to how we should list the language details. Thanks - Wesley☀Mouse 01:25, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
- I can see this language grey area becoming the most complex one in the history of ESC. There's a video interview from the EBU (posted on Youtube) which now classify the language as Mühlviertelian, this is a complete difference to having it listed on these articles as Bavarian. Is it possible to have a dialect that hasn't had an article created for it? Wesley☀Mouse 16:22, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
- While we are waiting for others input on Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 2012, would you mind casting eyes over another mini-debate over a new reliable source at Talk:Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2012. Thanks mate! I'll get the beers in while you have a gander at that little beauty on JESC. Wesley☀Mouse 20:30, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Sims, not sure if you are online or not. I left a reply at Talk:Eurovision 2012 about this Austrian thing. The plot thickens even more, to the extent that I'm wondering now if we should get someone from project linguistics, languages, or both involved. There are too many contradicting factors in all the articles we are finding that it creates an everlasting loop-hole, and we're not getting anywhere to resolve things quicker. The link you provided at Talk:ESC2012 provided an interesting list of vocab/spelling differneces. However, further down the same article is goes on to classify Standard German as being an Austrian Dialect - this contradict the opening sentence which states (Standard) German is the official language. And not only that, the article isogloss comes out with something completely different that we haven't even touched on whatsoever. This wikiarticle stipulates that German language is in Germany, and this chapter advises when to seek professional help. So with all the confusion from wiki's own articles, I do believe getting the 'big guns' from Linguistics or Languages involved is the only way to find a resolution in all of this.

A favour is required
Sims, Could you do me a favour please while I am busily making mass-alterations? Keep an eye on my talk page, and answer any questions that User123o posts on there. Thanks dude! Wesley☀Mouse 23:35, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
- WHOA! You've removed information from Eurovision Song Contest 1973 that was already in there before this whole debacle. Can't go removing stuff now just coz you feel like it. Its almost like you're now trolling my every movement that I'm doing - sooo not impressed. Wesley☀Mouse 23:50, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Good Evening Sims, hope all is well with you today. I was wondering if you could cast eyes on a few comments posted on my talk page by User:123o regarding templates. Not if I'm over-reacting, but I'm almost 99.9% certain that the user is purposely posting comments of an uncivil and provoking nature, despite my several attempts to converse clearly and politely as possible. Only reason I ask for your view is because if the user is doing what I think, then the next time I may have to take matters further and lodge an official complaint about his behaviour. Thanks - Wesley☀Mouse 18:17, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Eveing Wes. Having read was User:123o has put I can say that he has been quite irratic and perhaps even provocative in nature. I wouldn't say he's uncivil, he may be just trying to get his point across, but he does seem to be quite unrelenting, so perhaps you could say uncivil. I do agree with you that the original templates should take precendence, and his subsequent templates really don't make much sense when combined with the current templates and the country pages as well. Since he doesn't seem open for any compromise at all I think taking it further and reporting him may be the only solution I'm afraid to say. Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 18:26, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking that out. I do feel sympathetic towards the user, as I'd be just as upset if some of my work was up for deletion too. But like you pointed out, he does seem to be uncompromising or perhaps misunderstanding the concept about templates on a larger scale. I have opened discussion on the project page listing all the templates he's made and the same list of originals currently in use. Hopefully redirecting the discussion there will avert him from lunging provocative attacks on me - but I won't be holding my breath that it would. Anyhow, I have issued enough warnings to ask that he cease using arrogance towards me, so he can;t say I haven't warned him in the event that I need to submit a complaint further. Wesley☀Mouse 18:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Sims. I could not sit in silence while someone aggressively incitements against me. I would like, as I'm sure you are objective about this issue, to ask from this user to put his claims to the officials and return to professional level when it comes to other users or public discussions. You might want to look at the project page page and see that I'm clearly trying to decrease the focus on these personal issues, and not play the game he made up for the two of us (and maybe you might see that as opposed to what this user made you believe, I am open for compromise if it is a professional and not personal discussion). Thanks--123o (talk) 21:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Just wanted to say a BIG thank you

I award you this collection of miniature partying barnstars, to show my appreciation with helping in a looooong and tiresome ordeal we called "The Austrian Language Debacle". Together we managed to find a compromising solution, which works perfectly. And also for the help to implement the compromised outcome onto the List of languages in the Eurovision Song Contest articles. Wesley☀Mouse 02:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC) |
ANI report on User:123o
Hello Sims. I write to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an incident involving 123o (talk · contribs); in which I classified yourself as a witness. Wesley☀Mouse 02:32, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello,
There is currently a discussion ongoing at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#Template duplications on the future use of navigation templates (navboxes) within Eurovision articles. The consequences of this discussion could have a large impact on how these templates are organized, named, and used in future, so all project members are invited to participate in the discussion.

Hi Sims,
I noticed that you removed a footnote from the above named article (as see here). It had been agreed that having Austria being footnote tagged next to the Swiss row, that it would confuse readers, hence why the footnote on this occasion was added next to Austria, to clear up any confusion. In that regard, it may be worth undoing the removal. Thanks Wesley☀Mouse 22:32, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Just noticed that you even agreed to having it tagged LOL. Wesley☀Mouse 22:35, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- In my opinion having the footnote in rows for "Vienesse" and "Voralbergish" is confusing as well. In placing it in the row for "German" (which by coincidence the first entry for such was Switzerland) makes more sense. It is about the German language, not Austria specifically. And since the article is about languages, adding it to Austria doesn't really make sense in the long run: consider if in a future contest Germany or Switzerland were to send a song in a dialect - having it against Austria wouldn't make sense in this case. Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 23:48, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- We had mentioned all of those scenarios days ago Sims. And it despite the article being about languages, it did make more sense to place a footnote regarding Austria, next to Austria itself; rather than having something referring to Austria being on the Switzerland line. People will think the footnote is about Switzerland. C'mon, we know how thick some folk can be at a simple "reading" task. I can't see it being that much of a big issue to have it listed next to Austria due to special circumstances. Wesley☀Mouse 00:00, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

Project Eurovision RFC discussion reminder
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! EdwardsBot (talk) 14:13, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Fresh set of eyes please
Hi Michael,
Hope you're well on this glorious Sunday afternoon (well its glorious in this part of the UK, the sun is shining again). Anyhow, would it be possible to cast a fresh set of eyes on an issue that appears to be disruptive behaviour? I'm not 100% certain, but evidence so far is showing signs of such acts, and I'm concerned that a user may be inadvertently wandering into uncharted waters. The issue I'm talking about is a recent AFD for Ell & Nikki article. An editor nominated it for deletion, and throughout the AFD vote and vote for keep was cast, and despite that, the nominee clutched at straws and posted negative replies as if to try and force their preference for deletion to be carried out. The latest thread at WT:ESC will shed more light on this. Thanks in advance - Wesley☀Mouse 14:49, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

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!
Happy editing!

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. 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.

WikiProject Eurovision: Recent changes
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.

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. Remember that this project can only operate if we act in a cooperative manner and engage in discussions regarding article matters. It is seen as best practice to put forward ideas to other members of the project before rushing ahead and acting on a potential falsifying action. If you feel an article may warrant a deletion, why not test the waters by opening a discussion on the article's talk page or our very own project talk page - before rushing off and submitting an AfD. It saves wasting time nominating an article for deletion which could end up with an overwhelming "keep" by other editors. Communicating with each other is a vital tool and a skill that may prove advantageous in real-life scenarios. Also be on the look out for potential new members to the project. Post {{subst:EurovisionInvite}} (which will produced this template) on any user page you think is interested to join the WikiProject, to officially invite them to join.

Portuguese titles
Portuguese titles are not written in lower-case with only the first word capitalized. That's true for titles in Spanish, Galician and Italian (and I believe French also), for example, but not Portuguese. Portuguese uses the same conventions as English in titles, with the first word and all keywords capitalized. T.W. (talk) 03:33, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- Style guidelines on MusicBrainz say that for Portuguese titles only the first letter or proper names should be capitalised, with the rest in lowercase. You can find them here. Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 10:08, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, I've been applying proper capitalization rules for titles for years, mostly in Spanish since that's the language I know best, and with Portuguese it has always been one of the few Western European Latin-based languages to use the same conventions for titles as English; however, there may also be a distinction between rules in Brazil and in Portugal. I'll try to look into it and see what I find. In either case, thank you for making an effort to correct these, even if in this case we have different understandings of what is appropriate. :) T.W.

An extra pair of eyes
Sims2, I could do with an extra set of eyes to keep watch on Türkvizyon Song Contest 2014. Think we may have a disruptive editor who is just purposely ignoring MOS:FOREIGN and WP:OVERLINK, despite the fact I have made reference to these 4 times each, and informed the editor via their talk page.

WikiProject Eurovision - Urgent Message
Dear Project Eurovision Member,
There is a serious discussion been created at the WikiProject Eurovision talk page that requires utmost attention from all, or as many members as possible, as this could bear a huge impact on the project as a whole. Please click here to read the discussion, and participate peacefully. Thank you.
This message was delivered at 04:41, 23 November 2014 (UTC) by MediaWiki message delivery (talk), on behalf of Project Eurovision Newsdesk
- Sims, you mentioned on the discussion thread about having some sort of guidance section within the project. I'm really liking the sound of this idea, and both CT Cooper and myself have briefly talked about it via Facebook. Something along the lines of a manual of style guide but for the project, which will follow Wiki's MoS but taking into account the uniqueness of Eurovision-related contest. Do you think something like that would be a good idea, or just a guidance section that houses templates for each type of article which will provide an idea how they should look? And thanks by the way for the comments too, I know there have been one person already given negative feedback, but I had expected it to be honest. Wes Mouse | T@lk 19:47, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hey Wes. A Manual of Style for the project sounds like a great idea, I think it would help a lot with cohesiveness across the different aspects of the project. A guidance of templates would also be of great help, cause even I sometimes forget how everything's supposed to look at times. And you're very welcome for the comments, I may have been a bit unactive lately, and you're always gonna have some nay-sayers out there, but I really do think we can make this project great again! Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 21:45, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Great stuff, I'll knock up a few ideas in my sandbox and then add it to the project. The tab is already in place on the project space, so we're halfway there. I'm even looking into changing the newsletter too, so that it has a more interactive feel, similar to the Signpost. But making that happen is going to take some time. Wes Mouse | T@lk 21:53, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Sounds great! Sure take your time and make it perfect before you do anything. As you said, there is no deadline in Wikipedia. And don't hesitate to ask me of anything if you need any help! Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 21:59, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- I've made a start at Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Format and Guides. Feel free to add to it if you like. Wes Mouse | T@lk 22:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014
I really like everything you did with the Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 article and I wanted to let you know I think you did an awesome job. Perhaps you and I could work together if you'd like since you seem to be much more experienced and well-versed in criteria for taking these articles to a higher standard. Pickette (talk) 01:10, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Pickette: Thanks very much! That sounds like a good idea. If you ever need any help then don't hesitate to ask me, or anyone else in the WikiProject for that matter. I'm sure there'll always be someone willing to help you out! Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 01:18, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
- I've tried to keep these articles at least up to date with the bare minimum information since 2013 and now I'm trying to do the same with the 2015 country by year articles. Otherwise it seems that they get neglected completely and some users just come to plugin results and enter numbers/info into tables without adding anything else to the article. Maybe you could take a look at Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 and Malta in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 to see how I've tried to cover their selection events and whether things should be modified there. I'll greatly appreciate any suggestions or opinions that can help if/when you have the time. I'm mostly pleased as you're the first user I've seen since I've started focusing on these articles that seriously turned one of these articles into something much more professional and fulfilled. Pickette (talk) 03:04, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks very much again guys! I think what you've done so far Pickette is really good. I know a lot of users don't have to time to properly contribute to articles in the same way as I've done, but I always find it easier to properly write an article once the event is over, when all the information is available and you can properly construct it from the ground up. That's not to say you shouldn't update articles as soon as new information is available of course, so definitely keep up the good up! Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 22:56, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
I may have just thought of a way to improve the "see also" sections on articles. I noticed at AfD they don't give "See also" its own section, but a neat little table at the bottom of the page, which looks like this:
See also: |
ABU Radio Song Festival 2014 | European Broadcasting Union | Eurovision Song Contest 2014 | Eurovision Young Musicians 2014 | Junior Eurovision Song Contest | Türkvizyon Song Contest 2014 | |
I think something like that would improve the articles, especially if placed towards the very bottom of an article with the navboxes (either above or below them). What do you think? Wes Mouse | T@lk 16:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Wesley Mouse: That looks really good! A lot neater than the bullet points. I think we should definitely implement that on the articles, and I'd say we should put them above the navboxes as well. Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 17:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- I'll put the example above onto Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014, as that is up for GA too. Will give us an idea how an article would look then. And then I'll get it rolled out over time. Wes Mouse | T@lk 18:07, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
Sims, what's your views on Twitter being used as a citation? There is currently a discussion taking place at Talk:Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015, in which a fan has asked questions about the participation of Italy, Malta, Russia, and Sweden. The official JESC twitter page only says they "hope" these countries will be present. And now the tweets are being cited as 100% confirmation, despite there being no announcements from the respective broadcasters. In my opinion, these sound like exceptional claims, borderline original rsearch, and probably even crystal balling. I don't even know if the project has used Twitter before in this manner. Wes Mouse | T@lk 17:27, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hey Wes, thanks for the heads up. I've contributed my views to the talk page now, we'll see if there'll be a fuller discussion later, 'cause a consensus for the use of Twitter as a source on WP:EURO would definitely be helpful if more cases like these were to crop up. Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 17:50, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- I think building a consensus on the usage of Twitter is a good move to make. We'd ultimately be able to start a RfC and also invite our sister projects, such as WP:MUSIC and WP:SONG, to share their views - seeing as they do have some connection to the subject matter. There may be a prior consensus from their projects that prevent the use of Twitter. Wes Mouse | T@lk 17:56, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Wesley Mouse: That's a good idea, to cast as wide a net as possible on who to ask about this, and if they do have a prior consensus then that's all good! Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 18:10, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- @Wesley Mouse: Well at least we're not alone on this it seems Sims2aholic8 (Michael) (talk) 18:18, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about that Sims. As you know the OGAE Second Chance Contest articles got merged into the parent one. Meaning the logos are orphaned. I was hoping to use them in the main article, but not sure if the "rules" permit that as it isn't an annual article. Wes Mouse | T@lk 06:11, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve.
