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.

EdwardsBot (talk) 03:15, 26 August 2012 (UTC)Edit warring on Numb (Usher song)
STOP edit warring on Numb (Usher song), you have made many more than three edits, and after my message in the edit summary you continued the edit war under a "c/e" edit summary without any attempt to discuss the issue. You need to stop edit warring and start a discussion with the other editor, given your experience I would have expected you to do this as soon as you were reverted. As you are no doubt aware, breaking the 3-revert rule can lead to a block, please stop and discuss. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 15:02, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Good Girl Gone Bad Live, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Loud (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

What do you think, DYK? Rayman95 (talk) 11:04, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hey buddy, the DYK looks good. Sorry I was not here for 2 days. The article is in good shape so probably it will pass. Cheers! :) — Tomica (talk) 18:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
RE:
Tommy! :) Yup, I'll be more active again from now on! Thanks so much for your kind words :D--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 10:34, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- Haha yup! And I gotta try and finish my old goal, her whole discography :) I'm not too far, petty much every album and most of the singles are done!--CallMeNathan • Talk2Me 11:51, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
Copyedit
"Rihanna said about the song, and working with Ne-Yo, "I just have to stop sometimes and be like, 'Ne-Yo, OK, tell me why you wrote this song.' Because I don't understand how he comes up with certain concepts and he just blows me away sometimes. He's just insane."[1]" – Are you sure this quotation isn't referring to "Question Existing"? I'll leave it be for now. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 19:35, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
By the way, a big no to About.com, Djbooth.net and That Grape Juice. :) —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 19:59, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- DJBooth is fine. I know what his qualifications are. It is GA acceptable, but not FA acceptable. Aaron • You Da One 12:09, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- "HTILY", the article I was asked to help with, is up for FAC. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 12:53, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the c/e Penguin. Man, why on earth About.com :(. Bill Lamb is obviously a very good reviewer + it is published by The New York Times Company. I don't see the reasons is deemed as unrelible on Wikipedia. I am so afraid what will happen to the composition :/ — Tomica (talk) 18:56, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- Apparently, it has cited Wikipedia in the past, although Lamb is a qualified reliable writer. About.com is not what I would call a high quality reliable source for that reason. By the way, I replied to your email regarding the sources. —WP:PENGUIN · [ TALK ] 19:41, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Why only one table?
Why do "we only use one table" for Rihanna's discography? Is it because the Rated R singles span over two decades?Jagoperson (talk) 23:33, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
- No, in all Wikipedia articles and lists that are created and maintained recently we use only one table, never mind of two, three or four decades. That's how the access of the list or articles is easier. — Tomica (talk) 23:35, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
So
"But the RELIABLE source proves smthg (something) different."
Congratulations, that was quite professional of yours.
Readmanthepaper (talk) 19:43, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- What did you expect me to write you? You remove a sourced information for a source that is being considered reliable per Wikipedia's standards. You can't base a song's meaning upon a music video. At least you should provide a source — Tomica (talk) 19:52, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
WikiCup 2012 August newsletter
The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
Grapple X (submissions) once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
Miyagawa (submissions) led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
Ruby2010 (submissions) was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
Casliber (submissions) finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
Muboshgu (submissions) was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
Dana Boomer (submissions) was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
Sasata (submissions) is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.
However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: 
GreatOrangePumpkin (submissions), 
Ealdgyth (submissions), Calvin999 (submissions), 
Piotrus (submissions), 
Toa Nidhiki05 (submissions), 
12george1 (submissions), 
The Bushranger (submissions) and 
1111tomica (submissions). We hope to see you all next year.
On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Your opinion on...
...Usher discography being a featured list candidate, do you think it's ready? Any improvements? Rayman95 (talk) 18:58, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
Actually, there's still a few things that need fixing. But still, your input would be appreciated. Rayman95 (talk) 23:26, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Review comment
Hi. Would you mind commenting on my question here? It's about whether a review source is professional or not. Dan56 (talk) 16:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Is a single? Update me? AARON• TALK 22:51, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Haha. Yeah, however the remix of the song is. ASAP Rocky added a rap verse (listen it. MTV News confirmed it will be digitally released after the VMA Performance. — Tomica (talk) 22:54, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Ohh okay. Another single we won't have a video for lol. It would be too dirty. The article will have to be split like Birthday Cake. Why is she doing another remix single release :-/. TTT is not a great era lol. AARON• TALK 22:58, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know what's happening :). And yeah, i think she will not shot a video for Cockiness, it's just drive by until the next album which obviously it's pushed for the next year I guess. TTT is an era full with mess. GGGB and Loud were the perfect eras. — Tomica (talk) 23:02, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- TTT is just all over the place. It got off to a good start with WFL, then it kinda went down from there, then it got good with WHYB, now it's bad again. AARON• TALK 23:03, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Can you imagine she didn't do any live of "You da One" :O ... lame. "Talk That Talk" awesome track, no a video, only few live performances. I am confused. But you know why I am frustrated most... WHERE IS THE LOUD TOUR DVD :( !— Tomica (talk) 23:05, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- It won't come lol. AARON• TALK 23:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- It must come. Come on Aaron, be more positive :P ! — Tomica (talk) 23:09, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Lol. It it does, it does. But I'm not holding my breath. LGOE DVD never came either. AARON• TALK 23:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, but it was never filmed. This one was filmed, 3 shows were filmed. It must come. I really have some feeling that is coming this November instead of studio album. Don't know why :) — Tomica (talk) 23:13, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- Lol. It it does, it does. But I'm not holding my breath. LGOE DVD never came either. AARON• TALK 23:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

They are half to blame. Rihanna is huge now, if she doesn't wanna do something, she doesn't have to. She could say no, but she clearly wants to continue. If she did a Greatest Hits it would have to be like P!nk's one, like "So Far...!", and release one or two new songs. Or a #1s album like Mariah did, and release a few new songs. But that won't happen either lol. AARON• TALK 23:24, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
