Tubevision Contest

Is it bad that I created a page for Tubevision Contest. If yes you can delete it. I don't have problem Eurofan2005 (talk) 09:44, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Eurofan! It is kind of frowned upon to write about things which you are involved in yourself - see our guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest. If the contest is notable, then we will probably keep the article anyway, though. Are you aware of any third-party reliable sources which cover the contest in any detail? Best — Mr. Stradivarius 09:50, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
If you mean something like this, then yes. Eurofan2005 (talk) 09:54, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:TVC logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:TVC logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 07:04, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Eurovision 2012

Eurofan2005,

I've noticed that you're updating the split jury/televoting result tables on the article; and I have serious concerns about their inclusions all together; more so when the article alone is under a good article review, which these tables could jeopardise that. The tables just being added en-mass without any written prose explaining what they are makes them look like original research, and that is something tat isn't permitted on Misplaced Pages. Also, they are not sourced either, which goes against verifiability, and again no original research. With this in mind, I have started a discussion on the article's talk page; and would appreciate if everyone on the project discussed the inclusion of these tables before continuing to en-mass add them. Regards, WesleyMouse 13:52, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I have put a source but while I was editing the article someone else was editing it too so the source gone. I will put it ASAP ;) Eurofan2005 (talk) 14:02, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
But is there anything written to explain what these tables are for? We obviously know what they are, but what about the general viewer who doesn't know anything about Eurovision. They would take one look at those tables and think "what are these for?". A written explanation (or prose as it is known on Misplaced Pages) is very vital, and is part of the manual of style guidance. As the article is under review, those tables could end up being deleted as part of the review, if the reviewer doesn't see a prose. WesleyMouse 14:03, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Yes I wrote a small description at the beginning "The full split jury/televoting results were announced by the EBU in June 2012." Eurofan2005 (talk) 14:13, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Excellent, that is fantastic, thank you. Sorry if I sounded in a panic over these being added. I'm very nervous about this GA review for the article. It is the first time that I've nominated an article for this prestige Misplaced Pages classification. And from what I have been told, none of the 57 annual Eurovision pages have ever achieved this status before; so if ESC 2012 is able to gain GA status, then it would be a huge achievement for the members of WP:ESC - something which would inspire us all to work more effectively as a team, and to give us that incentive to continue to create GA-articles across the project. WesleyMouse 14:10, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
It's ok. I understand you. You just try to do your best ;) Eurofan2005 (talk) 14:13, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

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. 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 Misplaced Pages: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!

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!

  • 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.

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 Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Eurovision.

You are receiving this message since you are listed as a member of WikiProject Eurovision. If you are no longer interested in contributing to Eurovision articles, please remove your username from this page.

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. 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.

  • If you would like something to appear in the October 2012 Edition of the newsletter, then please inform us at the Project Newsdesk.

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome!

The London Olympic and Paralympic games have ended, and just as their motto stated, they truly did inspire a generation. This got me thinking how could we as a project for Eurovision related material may be able to inspire the next generation of Eurovision fans? RfC discussions have already underway on the project talk page regarding article layouts, how we can better present our articles to provide a more in-depth knowledge into the contests. One such discussion in regards to layout of Contest by Year articles has already become a success, and provided the project with its first ever GA-class article. So in reality, implementing the same layout across other articles should produce the same output. A similar discussion into layout style for Country in a Contest related articles is also taking place. This project is constantly evolving as more and more editors join the team. We've redesigned the home page for Project Eurovision in a bid it entices new people to join the team. A project can't survive on stale movement, it needs evolution to add excitement to the project. So lets use October to inspire each other to do better, to work more collaboratively, and to entice the next generation of editors to the project team.

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.

  • If you would like something to appear in the next edition of Eurovision Monthly, 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! Wesley

Bienvenue! Välkommen! Welcome!

We are almost at the end of another great Eurovision year, with preparations now well under way for the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest. Individual entry articles are slowly appearing at Template:Eurovision Song Contest 2013, although as happens every year, there is tendency to create these article prematurely. Please don't create them without a good two paragraphs of information to post, and with at least two reliable sources of information cited - remember every article has to pass the Misplaced Pages:Notability guideline independently.

There is a lot going on at WT:EURO at the moment too, and every project member should have this talk page on their watchlist. The current RfC on country article layout is suffering from a lack of participation - myself and others may not agree with every suggestion made, but we won't bite people's heads off, so please feel free to comment! If you feel like you'll be out of your depth over there, you should know that it was a suggestion by a newbie that resulted in a complete re-structuring of all Eurovion templates, so you don't have to be an "old timer" to bring new ideas to the table! On the same page is a proposal to re-license Eurovision logos uploaded locally, and since this will have a big impact on how we handle logos, some further feedback would be appreciated.

As always, 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.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 07:46, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Sorry but I thought that it would be better to have all articles of the series with the same name Eurofan2005 (talk) 07:53, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. This is a common mistake. If there is no article or redirect at the destination, you should be able to use the page move function under the pull-down arrow just to the right of View history and the star. Otherwise, you should use a {{db-move|Dancing with the Stars (Greece season 1)|keep consistent article naming convention}} This goes on the first line of the page where the article is to be move. Since you gave a reason, I added a move request to Dancing with the Stars (Greece season 1). Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 08:09, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Eugenia Manolidou

I think it would be OK to leave the links to the redirect page which has a move request. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:16, 10 November 2012 (UTC) Jim1138 (talk) 09:16, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Bienvenue! Välkommen! Welcome!

With the festive season a matter of days away and 2012 rapidly drawing to a close, I'd like to take the time to reflect on the last 12 months as a project community, and look ahead to 2013. 2012 witnessed the period when Azerbaijan got to showcase their capital city Baku to the rest of Europe. Preparations for the contest were not the smoothest ever seen, but come the day of the contest everything seemed to have knitted together OK. Concerns over the longevity of the Junior Contest were also raised when the lowest participation ever recorded. Fans worried that the contest would be brought to an abrupt end, however, with 3 new countries debuting the contest went ahead as planned.

The project also seen the start of two new contests, ABU Radio Song Festival and ABU TV Song Festival, which were both staged in the Korean capital of Seoul. The host nation won the first edition of the festival. And so we look ahead to 2013, with Sweden hosting the Eurovision Song Contest for a fifth time, and for the second time in the city of Malmö. Vietnam is expected to host the 2013 ABU TV Song Festival, with the Radio Festival having a year break, which won't be hosted again until 2014 in Australia. Details about the 2013 Junior Eurovision Song Contest are still unknown. As always, 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.

And so I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our project members a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Wesley

Proposed deletion of Despina Olympiou

The article Despina Olympiou has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Misplaced Pages policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Thanks for uploading File:Ivi Adamou, Cyprus.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.eurovision.tv/page/multimedia/photos?gal=62023. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Proposed deletion of Agathonas Iakovidis

Hello, Eurofan2005. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Agathonas Iakovidis, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Agathonas Iakovidis to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Editor's Message
Bienvenue! Välkommen! Welcome!

Eurovision-fever is vast upon us with all songs and artists having already been selected, and the contest itself is just around the corner. So we as a collective need to be as vigilant as possible when it comes to content being updated to respective articles connected to Malmö 2013. Please remember to use citations to reliable sources on everything. If in doubt, then use the article talk page and/or the project talk page for open discussion.

The project has yet again gained another accolade on an annual article with the ABU TV Song Festival 2012 receiving GA classification. That is now 3 within a year, with the first being Eurovision Song Contest 2012 back in July last year, and ABU Radio Song Festival 2012 being the second last month. Congratulations once again to everyone who has helped to contribute to those respective articles. Now that we're gaining high accolades, let's see if we can maintain that by continuing to work as a team.

Please could we also help to improve the articles listed below, they vary from stub articles that require expansion, to general tidy-up and additional sources required. As always, 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.

Happy editing! Wesley

Orphaned non-free media (File:Sose Me.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Sose Me.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Editor's Message
Bienvenue! Välkommen! Welcome!

With less than a month to go until we find out who is the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, the article itself is already looking impressive and is written with such broad scope and covering almost every piece of news in an encyclopaedic style of course. The show hasn't even started and the article is looking very much like a GA-class article. Well done everyone for helping to maintain the high standards of editing on articles as well as engaging in open discussion via the talk pages. Hopefully this should be helping to increase team moral with the project - keep up the good work folks! The ABU have announced the host city for the ABU TV Song Festival 2013 which is due to take place on 26 October 2013. Please could everyone keep a look out across the worldwide web for any news on the festival itself and update the article accordingly.

On a different note, if anyone is feeling a little bit bored and looking for things to do, then why not help to improve the articles listed below, they vary from stub articles that require expansion, to general tidy-up and additional sources required. It is your contributions that help to improve Misplaced Pages's sustainability and legacy of being one of the largest reference websites. As always, 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.

Hi Eurofan2005, I've noticed you've added a full list of spokespersons to ESC2013 page, however I am slightly concerned over the reliability of the source being used.

Sock puppetry

It has come to my attention that DimitrisLoveIvi (talk · contribs) has been operated by the same person that operates this account. Since that account was indefinitely blocked, this means you are engaging in block evasion and sock-puppetry. However, given that this account is from a long time ago and I note that the behaviour which led to the block has note been repeated, I am willing to let it go - on one condition. That condition being that you either state that this is only the account you are presenting using on the English Misplaced Pages, or declare any other accounts besides this one now, either on this user talk page or by e-mail. CT Cooper · talk 19:21, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes that was mine account but I don't want it anymore. Is it bad that I made another? And this is my only account besides that one. Eurofan2005 (talk) 19:41, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm afraid, yes, it is bad because when you are blocked your right to edit the English Misplaced Pages is revoked until the block is lifted - if this newer account had been discovered by a checkuser early on then it would have been blocked without hesitation. However, since you are well established here and I have no reason to believe you are operating any other accounts, then I'm going to let it go. CT Cooper · talk 21:21, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Bienvenue! Välkommen! Welcome!

Well we have a winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2013, and the 2014 article is already up and running. However, the work on the 2013 edition is still not complete. Over the next few weeks many editors will be doing the final clean-up operation on the article, and we hope to achieve yet another GA classification on the article in the coming months. We will of course keep you all updated of the progress via the newsletter.

But if you are already starting to get Eurovision withdrawal symptoms, then don't panic. We have the ABU TV Song Festival in Vietnam to look forward to, as well as the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev. Your contributions to both of these articles are gratefully appreciated. Remember it is teamwork collaborations that help to make this project a success.

As always, 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.

I've undone several of your edits in regards to Kazakhstan in Eurovision. We cannot classify them as unsuccessful just yet, as they haven't attempted to participate. They have negotiated with the EBU once, only to be rejected. News reports state they are re-negotiating again. So until we know more, then we shouldn't deem them as "unsuccessful", purely because we would be providing false publication of what the sources actually state. WesleyMouse 19:33, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Stars Dance Tour.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Misplaced Pages:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:14, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve Ponane Oi Agapes

Hi, I'm Matty.007. Eurofan2005, thanks for creating Ponane Oi Agapes!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Just needs a little expansion, but otherwise looks good!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Matty.007 17:48, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Ponane Oi Agapes.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ponane Oi Agapes.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:05, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Signatures

Hi Eurofan

I've notice that you are using the Eurovision heart logo in your Misplaced Pages signature. Not sure if you are aware but images of any kind are not allowed per guidance at Misplaced Pages:Signatures#Images. So it would be advisable for you to remove the image immediately. WesleyMouse 20:34, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay I'll put a sign or something else instead. I didn't know. Thanks for informing me. Dimitris 20:36, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
You're very welcome. I know that my signature looks as though it has an image, but thankfully I used a ♦ symbol that is found in many type-faces. WesleyMouse 20:39, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Template:Eurovision Song Contest

Thank you for your recent edit to the above named template. However, I have reverted the addition, as it is not normal practice to show TBD on these templates whatsoever. These particular templates need to show actual information, and not "unknown" TBD's. Only add the host city/venue information to this template once the details have been confirmed at a later date. WesleyMouse 17:24, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

User pages

Eurofan,

It would appear that you are using your user page for excessive web-hosting again, something which is suppose to be avoided per guidelines WP:UP. Plus as you will recall, your old profile DimitrisLoveIvi (talk · contribs) was indefinitely blocked on 8 December 2011 for similar activity. Be cautious and prevent falling into old ways again. CT Cooper gave you a second chance in a warning above. Don't ruin it and end up getting this account indef blocked. WesleyMouse 13:01, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, removed. I thought that I couldn't advertise my contest. Can I keep the introduction and the section about the Eurovision Song Contest? Dimitris 13:10, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
I'm not too sure about those sections either. Karlwhen (talk · contribs) has similar information and has been asked to remove the content, as has Claus Michael2 (talk · contribs), who's first account was blocked by Amalthea (talk · contribs) for using their user page to hold such content. If in doubt, familiarise yourself with the guidelines at WP:UP. If something isn't mentioned as prohibited, then in my opinion I'd be inclined to say it would be safe. But then I personally walk on the edge of caution when it comes to user pages. WesleyMouse 13:27, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
They're for Eurovision, not for any other contest like the users mentioned above. Anyway I'll probably remove them all but I don't know what to put in my page. It will be empty. Dimitris 13:31, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
You could always do what I did and have a look around at other user pages for inspiration. And then contact the user to see if they don't mind you copying their design idea. I surely don't mind if you were to use the design inspiration from my own page. WesleyMouse 13:35, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
I should look around the user pages. Thank you for your suggestions. Dimitris 13:42, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Why can't I have my own material and data on MY own page? It's MY user page. I don't see how I'm breaking any rules.User:Karlwhen User talk:Karlwhen 14:47, 7 June 2013 (GMT)
