Orphaned non-free media (Image:PES2008Cover.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:PES2008Cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 14:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use disputed for Image:Montenegrorehearsal.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Montenegrorehearsal.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:10, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading Image:ESC 2008 Staging.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 18:24, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ESC stuff[edit]

In response to your message, it appears Tony0106 (talk · contribs) has created several X country in Eurovision Song Contest 2008 pages, though some have been rapidly deleted by admin(s). Camaron1 | Chris 19:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Template:Exams2[edit]

A tag has been placed on Template:Exams2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes.

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ESC 2009[edit]

Just click on the image, and look at revisions. The reason that I have changed it so much is because the city has not been chosen yet. I just hope it is in Moscow! As most of the image is from the EBU file about the contest, and I would have to do one saying 'St. Petersburg' or some other city. -- [[ axg ⁞⁞ talk ]] 14:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

VSL[edit]

I assume you are taking the piss in comparing the "Virtual Soccer League" with the top division of a FIFA-affiliated country? пﮟოьεԻ 57 13:18, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I think we both meant "Virtual Super League", which was the name on the logo you uploaded. Regardless, it's clearly not notable. пﮟოьεԻ 57 14:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but its clearly not notable enough for an article. пﮟოьεԻ 57 11:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Member Thank Yous

The Project says thank you to the following editors for doing an excellent job within the project during the past weeks. (alphabetical order)

From the Members

Welcome to the first issue of the WikiProject Eurovision newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

About two weeks ago, I was bold and decided that our entire WikiProject needed to be reorganized. I am seeking to put into effect new guidelines on page layouts, templates, and basically to make all related articles consistent. Part of this reorganization included improving our assessment department since one didn't really exist before and completely reformatting the main page.

Also, it is my opinion that the project be renamed "WikiProject Eurovision Song Contest" and that the Junior Eurovision Song Contest be officially included. I believe that the Eurovision Dance Contest should be separate since it shares nothing in common aside from the EBU.

We also need to work on bringing new members into this project; especially during these months when not much is going on in the Eurovision world. If you would like to invite someone to join the WikiProject, our invitation template on their talk page. Now is when we need to get our project's pages up to par for next year's contest and make everything as accurate and in depth as possible. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions for the project on either my talk or the project's.

Happy Editing, Grk1011 (talk)

Eurovision Project[edit]

Hey. I've been inactive cause i didn't have much to do, but as I have done some interviews for Oikotimes... well one, I can definitely contribute here. I love Eurovision, just direct me towards what you want doing! ¡иąтнąи! | Talk | Email| 00:09, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the newsletter, it talks about what is going on right now. You can offer your opinions in the talk, and help implement the two templates (see newsletter) that now have instructions on their use. We need people to edit the articles to make them consistent with the new guidelines. Also, if you see the projects on the main page draft, they will direct you to open tasks. If you have any more questions, I'm always here. (reply here, your on my watchlist) Thanks! Grk1011 (talk) 00:36, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply! I have the Official History Book if that is of any help + I am willing to keep updating the ESC09 article as the news comes in. I actually started the 08 article ;) . But I'm really glad to be part of this and back here ready to help out. ¡иąтнąи! | Talk | Email| 00:38, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well in that case the older articles about the individual countries in the contest could use some more info, and we need all the help we get on the main ESC 2009 article and also its other related 2009 pages. I fixed the link to the draft above. Grk1011 (talk) 02:00, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'll get onto the 09 and I'll browse through the other articles after I've seen the Diving (07:30 UK time)... I've got the Olympic fever. ¡иąтнąи! | Talk | Email| 02:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request for wider input on discussion at WikiProject Tennis[edit]

Hi, there is an extremely long and muddled discussion going on at WP:Tennis about the tournament tables found on tennis player articles (i.e. this type of table), and I'm notifying you as you identified yourself as a member of the project. The dispute is over the "Tournament Name" column, with the options being to either use the "sponsored tournament name" - in other words, the name involving the sponsor, for example Internazionali BNL d'Italia - or the "non-sponsored tournament name" - in other words, Rome Masters. I appreciate that this conversation is very long and convoluted, so a brief summary can be found here, which is also where I request the discussion continues. Thanks, rst20xx (talk) 23:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From the Members

Welcome to the second issue of the WikiProject Eurovision newsletter! This newsletter has been quite a success so far and I hope it continues to be so. I hope to rotate as much as possible who writes this "From the Members" section each month so everyone gets a chance to contribute.

The process of fully reorganising this project is still under way. A compromise is being formed to re-name this project WikiProject Eurovision Song Contest, but allow it to include the Junior Eurovision Song Contest as it is similar. The Eurovision Dance Contest will have its own project created simultaneously. I personally agree with this proposal, a final decision has not been made yet however.

Issue relating to Eurovision can be complicated and disagreements do form. This was particularly shown in the aftermath of Kosovo's declaration of independence and the creation of a Kosovo in the Eurovision Song Contest article, there is still discussion on the talk page over its inclusion. A further disagreement was formed over a proposed merger to Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest. This has fortunately been resolved by the Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal as recorded at Talk:Yugoslavia in the Eurovision Song Contest/Archive 1. Hopefully future disagreements will also be resolved in such a peaceful way.

Happy editing, Camaron
