Thank you. Wesley Mᴥuse 02:23, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
The sections that detail the commentators for the 2012 and 2013 contests are quite text heavy. I would like to suggest that in such cases, the commentators section be split into two columns rather than three in order to improve the neatness of the section and make the section less cluttered and easier to read. Pickette ( talk) 02:12, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Eurovisionairies. Eurovoix.com and Hurriyet Daily News have both published that Turkey are to launch in December 2013 their own version of Eurovosion called "Turkvision". As almost all of the participating countries will be within the EBU region, would we be accepting this new contest into our project scope? And if so, do we create an article now, or wait for new information to be published. Wesley ☮ Mouse 20:34, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
I think we may be confusing two concepts here. Looking at the second link Gerbear provided, that is for Türkçe Sözlü Müzik Festīvalī (or "Türkçevīzyon") for short, which was a music festival that took place between 11-14 September 2013 in the Denizli Municipality. Eurovoix and Daily News state a new show called "Turkvision" will take place in Eskişehir during the 19-23 December this year. Wesley ☮ Mouse 22:54, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Two sources ( 1 and 2) stating that Bosnia-Herzegovina, along with hosts Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan have confirmed participation in Turkvision 2013. Wesley Mᴥuse 19:25, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
"Going to Turkvision, BiH confirmed.. etc etc... So far Turkvision is a local competition, and this year there will be, BiH, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan , Kyrgyzstan ... Croatian television had not yet received an invitation, the head of international relations HRT Tanja Simic and recalled that Croatia has been a participant in two competitions organized by Turkish television.". I have asked our colleague over at hr:Wikipedia to comment on here with the translation, but I haven't a clue what is taking them so long. Wesley Mᴥuse 02:11, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Well hello, I just did the translation on this news item you wanted. The translation is a bit garbled, because I followed the original, and they didn't really make an effort at forming proper sentences.
B&H won't go to Eurosong, would go to Turkovision instead
Turkey is organising a contest alike Eurosong, where countries historically and culturally linked to Turkey would participate
B&H confirmed going to the Turkovision, with the justification that campaigns aimed at the Eurosong are too expensive nowadays, and the country's colours will be defended by "Emir and the Frozen Kamels", is conveyed by local media and they further state that on this Turkish version of the Eurosong 20 nations would participate.
In order to successfully compete for the best song of Europe, next year every country to compete at Turkovision will organise their own national selection of their representative at this musical review.
They will be singing on their native languages, and the final evening will be, as this year, held around the Christmas holidays.
Since last year Turkey has decided to boycott Eurovision because of the rule that Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain be placed directly into the finale. Up until now Turkovision has been a local contest, and this year, except for B&H, performing will be Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan...
"Croatian television has not yet received an invitation", stated Tanja Šimić, overseer of international relations at HRT, and reminded that Croatia was so far a participant of two contests organised by the Turkish television.
As for the reliability of the source, I have some doubts, but that's for you to decide. Was glad to be of use (I hope)!-- 11:35, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

I just wanted to bring this to the attention of whoever is able to fix this issue. The template that contains the preceding and forthcoming navigation in the country by year info box does not function to skip years where a country didn't participate. This will probably come up for this year in particular since the Portuguese and Bosnian pages will have to navigate back to 2012 and skip 2013. I don't know how to fix it myself so perhaps someone who is skilled in this area could do so if they have time. Thanks. Pickette ( talk) 23:20, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that people are adding galleries to all of the articles. I thought there was a discussion here that was against adding galleries and furthermore even to remove the numerous pictures that get shoved in the articles in favour of having just one or two based on the amount of text. So I'm just double checking on that because I'm going to start removing those galleries soon. Pickette ( talk) 22:08, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Can we change the "X" denotations on the contestants grid to the format used bellow? :) Karlwhen Talk 00:05am, (GMT)
I quite like this idea. Although the wording for 1996 needs to be changed. You're making it sound like there were semifinals back then, when in actual fact there was not, it was a mere qualification round for all participants. If other's like this idea, then roll it out. But only if other's agree to it. Wes Mᴥuse 06:27, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
I have updated the grid above to your suggestions. I hope you like it. I don't really know what to put in the 1996 box, Was not invited to final was the best I could think of. Maybe you could change it to whatever suits you? :) KarlWhen, Talk 02:06am, (GMT)
To every member, to every person who've edited Eurovision, to every vandal! (hey it's Christmas). May I just say a Merry Christmas, I hope you enjoy you family (sorry to those who have family that you despise :p), presents, dinner, sales etc. Also a happy new year, and hope that your country produces an amazing show in Copenhagen for ESC, but most important of them all, is that the BBC to send someone who's not fucking receiving their pension! :) -- [[ axg // ✉ ]] 22:58, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
A new blog which has appeared at JESC 2014 escstarz.weebly.com, I've reverted the edit point to Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Sources. -- [[ axg // ✉ ]] 16:43, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Is this programme really unnotable? The voice was deleted for absence of notability, but this is the programme used from Finland to choose its ESC representer since 2011, so I ask if the voice can be re-created and if someone can translate it fron Finnish or Swedish. -- Gce ( talk) 15:06, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Would you be interested in participating in a user study? We are a team at University of Washington studying methods for finding collaborators within a Wikipedia community. We are looking for volunteers to evaluate a new visualization tool. All you need to do is to prepare for your laptop/desktop, web camera, and speaker for video communication with Google Hangout. We will provide you with a Amazon gift card in appreciation of your time and participation. For more information about this study, please visit our wiki page ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Finding_a_Collaborator). If you would like to participate in our user study, please send me a message at Wkmaster ( talk) 13:06, 18 February 2014 (UTC).
Many of the Eurovision contests have an infobox saying "Participating participants", for example Eurovision Song Contest 2010. That sounds like a dumb pleonasm to me. Shouldn't they just say "Participating countries?" PrimeHunter ( talk) 02:00, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Eurovision for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. –Mabeenot ( talk) 21:50, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
