Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here:
testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new {{#target:}}
parser function. For example, {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}}
or {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}
. For detailed instructions, check out
mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.
If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at m:Talk:MassMessage. Thanks for spamming! -- MZMcBride ( talk) 05:23, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on File:ABU TV Song Festival 2013 logo.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

I noticed that you've been adding navboxes that group the Eurovision templates and hide them in a collapsed state on several Eurovision related articles such as France in the Eurovision Song Contest. I just want to know if that has been discussed in the past at Project Eurovision or if it is suggested as a general format for Wikipedia articles? I ask because I'm not really a fan of grouping the templates on articles like that and I prefer that they remain on the page fully, but in a collapsed state in order to save room. Pickette ( talk) 02:21, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Hey Wesley, please don't overdo it with the tags. I just got done cleaning up De vogels van Holland and I'm working on Voorgoed voorbij right now. Those short articles have short leads, and all the ones I looked at are fine relative to length and content. I'm also not sure what the context problem is, nor do I see anything wrong with the layout. It's true that referencing leaves a lot to be desired, but please be wary of tag bombing. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 04:26, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry to bother you. You see, the website is amateurish and in very bad English. I would rather not have something so embarrassing in the external links section. Also, both websites are not "official" in the usual sense. They are made by fans who seem to have little contact with Dayana.

Hi Wesley, I noticed your Eurovision nominations have been languishing for a while without reviewers (they're now the oldest nominations in the GA queue). I've been wanting to extend you an olive branch for a while after our spat over the 2012 Eurovision article--would it be helpful if I did one of those reviews? I often help clean out the oldest reviews on that page, but I didn't want to take either of these on without checking with you first. I can't promise an automatic pass, of course, but I can promise a fair and thorough review. Let me know what you think, and thanks as always for your huge contributions in this area-- Khazar2 ( talk) 16:13, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Here is a song that I love and I just wanted to share with you today. For no particular reason other than spreading a good saturday feeling. :)-- BabbaQ ( talk) 21:48, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you get lots of questions about this. If so, I'm sorry, but the map here is seriously annoying me. I can't understand the point of including West Germany as a separate entity in the map from today's Germany when there are in essence the same country and at no other point in Germany's Eurovision article or anywhere else on Eurovision Wikipedia is it treated as a different country: the 1991 contest article for instance does not note that any country has withdrawn or debuted. Even the table next to the map says that Germany has two wins! I would like West Germany to be removed from the inset and Germany to be coloured purple, with perhaps an indicator somewhere that Germany won once as West Germany.
I should probably mention that there is discussion of this in the picture and article's talk pages dating back to just after Germany had won in 2010, but nothing's been done to the picture since. Kapitan110295 ( talk) 10:19, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Always sad when a ESC participant dies. Today Lynne Kieran has died she represented Austria with The Rounder Girls in 2000 when the contest was hosted in my country Sweden.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 18:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I'm not sure that we can consider the official website of the contest reliable, there have been multiple cases of wrong information found there. First, they said that the Kazakhstani entry is Qalayşa by Luina, which was not true. Second, they said Uzbekistan would be represented by Shahzoda, which was not true again. The third and I think most important thing is that in the site it says that in some countries like Turkmenistan the contest would be broadcasted by "The Channel TBC", which clearly shows that they have copied this info from Wikipedia and have no idea what TBC means.
Considering all this, I'm not at all convinced that Macedonian and Northern Cypriot entries are Düşlerde Yaşamak and Ayrıntılar. First, the song Düşlerde Yaşamak is an old song, released in 2010 by the band Bal ve Kan, and I have enough reason to think that the only reason it ended up in the official site is the fact that it was on the Eurovoix page telling who the Macedonian participant is. That page clearly says that the Macedonian entry is called Ağlama Benim İçin, but the video of Luina said that it was one of the national finalists as well, that didn't prevent it from being shown as the Kazakh participant.
I don't think the Northern Cypriot song is Ayrıntılar either, because there is a video on YouTube that shows Grup Gommalar singing a song called Ayrıntılar in the Northern Cypriot national final but the song they sing there is an old song too, it's a 2010 song of Bülent Ortaçgil. I believe they saw that video and simply assumed that that song was the Northern Cypriot entry. amateur ( talk) 02:15, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

I have raised a few issues about the Sirusho on the articles talk page. I think the article could need a complete or partly rewrite since it is kind of a mess.

I'm not sure if you get lots of questions about this. If so, I'm sorry, but the map here is seriously annoying me. I can't understand the point of including West Germany as a separate entity in the map from today's Germany when there are in essence the same country and at no other point in Germany's Eurovision article or anywhere else on Eurovision Wikipedia is it treated as a different country: the 1991 contest article for instance does not note that any country has withdrawn or debuted. Even the table next to the map says that Germany has two wins! I would like West Germany to be removed from the inset and Germany to be coloured purple, with perhaps an indicator somewhere that Germany won once as West Germany.
I should probably mention that there is discussion of this in the picture and article's talk pages dating back to just after Germany had won in 2010, but nothing's been done to the picture since. Kapitan110295 ( talk) 10:19, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Yes good work Wes. I think the JESC winner this year is great. I have nominated this win for a mention at ITN I dont think it will be addded to the ITN section but atleast giving it a try.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 20:20, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Always sad when a ESC participant dies. Today Lynne Kieran has died she represented Austria with The Rounder Girls in 2000 when the contest was hosted in my country Sweden.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 18:26, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I'm not sure that we can consider the official website of the contest reliable, there have been multiple cases of wrong information found there. First, they said that the Kazakhstani entry is Qalayşa by Luina, which was not true. Second, they said Uzbekistan would be represented by Shahzoda, which was not true again. The third and I think most important thing is that in the site it says that in some countries like Turkmenistan the contest would be broadcasted by "The Channel TBC", which clearly shows that they have copied this info from Wikipedia and have no idea what TBC means.
Considering all this, I'm not at all convinced that Macedonian and Northern Cypriot entries are Düşlerde Yaşamak and Ayrıntılar. First, the song Düşlerde Yaşamak is an old song, released in 2010 by the band Bal ve Kan, and I have enough reason to think that the only reason it ended up in the official site is the fact that it was on the Eurovoix page telling who the Macedonian participant is. That page clearly says that the Macedonian entry is called Ağlama Benim İçin, but the video of Luina said that it was one of the national finalists as well, that didn't prevent it from being shown as the Kazakh participant.
I don't think the Northern Cypriot song is Ayrıntılar either, because there is a video on YouTube that shows Grup Gommalar singing a song called Ayrıntılar in the Northern Cypriot national final but the song they sing there is an old song too, it's a 2010 song of Bülent Ortaçgil. I believe they saw that video and simply assumed that that song was the Northern Cypriot entry. amateur ( talk) 02:15, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Wes!
Thanks for accepting me for the job, it'll be a pleasure to work with you (and CT Cooper too I think?). Just 1 question, where do I put the news for the next month, as I have no idea. Thanks so much, and happy Christmas & New Year. Lucky102 ( talk) 12:32, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
I have raised a few issues about the Sirusho on the articles talk page. I think the article could need a complete or partly rewrite since it is kind of a mess. Especially since it is very likely that she will be revealed as Armenias representative at ESC 2014. Take a look. Regards,-- BabbaQ ( talk) 23:54, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
