If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tatyana Ovsienko requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. freshacconci talk to me 17:57, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 

Regarding Speedy Deletion
Hello, EuroFan98. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia.
I'm sorry, but this has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion.
Generally, articles are speedily deleted when there is no assertion of significance or they fall into things to avoid or what Wikipedia is not.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject.
Sometimes articles are deleted because they contain content copyrighted elsewhere. Such content can be used as a source of information, but the content here must be completely rewritten from scratch.
Some articles contain material written in a promotional tone. These must often be written from scratch. They are vigorously deleted.
Any content that is negative in tone and unsourced or which is disparaging will also be vigorously deleted.
Any deficiencies with notability, sourcing, or things to avoid should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.
For test edits, click EuroFan98/sandbox
If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard to guide you through the creation process.
You may find this tool useful: Google custom search


If you have verifiable information from reliable sources that show subject does meet notability requirements Let me know.
CONTENT IN ARTICLES NEEDS TO BE RELIABLY SOURCED.

This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

Information icon Hello, I'm Wesley Mouse. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I've searched the internet and there are no sources to verify that Serbia are returning. Please be prepared to include one if you're going to re-add them to the article.

There is a discussion regarding colour coding on articles taking place on the project talk page that requires input from as many project members as possible. Thank you, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:15, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your user page may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your user page does not violate our guideline, please leave a note on this page. Alternatively you may add {{Db-userreq}} to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's user page guideline. Thank you. Wes Mᴥuse 22:48, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have still not addressed this issue and removed the content that is in breach of WP:NOTWEBHOST. I strongly advise that you take this opportunity to read the guidelines on what you may have on your user page and then rectify the issues immediately. After that, then I will be within the right to escalate the matter further and seek opinion from an administrator to see if they agree that the content goes against the not web host guidance, of which if they do agree then they will be able to remove the content themselves.

June 2014[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions. One of your recent contributions to Morocco in the Eurovision Song Contest has been reverted or removed, because it contains speculative or unconfirmed information about a future event.

MfD nomination of User:EuroFan98[edit]

User:EuroFan98, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:EuroFan98 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:EuroFan98 during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Wes Mᴥuse 14:41, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Undo[edit]

Please Undo your prosess about my User, ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by EuroFan98 (talkcontribs)

I'd be happy to undelete it for a short period so that you can archive it for use elsewhere. Would that be acceptable to you? -- The Anome (talk) 20:11, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes -- EuroFan98 (talk) 22:42, 6 June 2014 (CET)
I've temporarily restored it. I'm sorry we can't keep it here, but there are lots of wiki hosting companies out there for wiki content that might be appropriate for your content: see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services
Please let me know when you have made your copy.
Regards, The Anome (talk) 21:53, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, EuroFan98 -- you do understand that the page was temporarily undeleted so that you can archive it for use elsewhere, not so that you can keep on editing it? You need to make an off-wiki copy of it now, because it will soon be re-deleted. -- The Anome (talk) 13:02, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sandboxes[edit]

EuroFan98, a sandbox can still be seen by public or by other users. Sandboxes are for working on draft articles that would become mainspace articles within Wikipedia. As the content was in breach of WP:NOTWEBHOST, and you were told not replace the content whatsoever. You were also told to place it elsewhere, but not on Wikipedia. You ignored what you were told. But if you wish to run the risk of receiving blocking sanctions for failing to comply with policies, then go ahead. I'm only offering you advice so that you don't get blocked. Wes Mᴥuse 21:50, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wesley Mouse is correct. Sandboxes and user pages are not an end-run around Wikipedia policy, and Wikipedia is still not a free web hosting platform. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hosting_services has a huge list of MediaWiki hosting providers, of which several are free, and some will actually allow you to create a whole wiki of your own, if you wish. You've been given abundant notice that you needed to copy this content somewhere off-wiki, and you have clearly been reading the various talk pages and notices on pages, because you've made edits to them. -- The Anome (talk) 14:15, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Biting newcomers[edit]

EuroFan,

You can't go threatening newcomers like you did to Khadidje. There are specifically designed warning templates that are more appropriate to use. Biting or being uncivil towards them may only cause more harm than good. That is why I removed your original uncivil comment you gave the editor, and re-issued them with a more formal and informative warning template that contains no words of a threatening nature. Wes Mᴥuse 15:23, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Junior Eurovision 2014[edit]

EuroFan98,

Please be careful what you write in edit summaries. I've seen a few you've recently done at Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 and even though I can see the context in which they are meant. Other editors, especially the editor in which it is aimed at, may see it as a personal attack or uncivil action. Also the editing activities between yourself and the other user appears to be getting close to edit warring territory. Please remember of the 3 revert rule, and try your best to avoid wandering into that activity which can result in blocking sanctions. I'm only giving you a friendly bit of advice so that you don't get yourself into troubled waters as a result of something that can be preventable, Wes Mouse 14:25, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Protection templates[edit]

Hello, EuroFan90

Please don't remove protection templates from articles or other pages as you did here. They are there to ensure that protected pages (including those under pending changes) are properly marked and categorized. Removal will just result in a bot automatically re-adding it. Thanks.

Lebanon in Eurovision 2005[edit]

Please do not add Lebanon to the debut section of the infobox on the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 article. Lebanon is not a debut nation for that year as they did not compete in the contest and thus you're adding factually inaccurate information to the article. The Lebanese involvement in that contest is detailed in the Other countries section of the article. Thank you. Pickette (talk) 16:50, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article structure on Junior Eurovision 2015[edit]

Hello, you recently made this edit in which you added a new sub-section using the title "Possible debut". Unfortunately we cannot use that term on annual Eurovision/Junior Eurovision articles, as it goes against the spirit of WP:CRYSTAL, and makes us sound speculative. Also it was agreed by WikiProject Eurovision consensus to cease using such titles as "possible" - which resulted in the standardisation of article styles such as Eurovision and Junior Eurovision. Therefore I have removed the title. Regards, Wes Mouse 22:38, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Junior Eurovision 2015 hosts[edit]

Please avoid adding "Italy or Bulgaria" on any article that refers to Junior Eurovision 2015. Prior consensus was that Oikotimes are unreliable for their sources. The EBU have still to hear from Italy first, then it is up to the EBU to then consult with other countries if Italy decline hosting. To say Italy and Bulgaria are fighting it out between themselves is a factual understatement. We are best to leave such hosting information as blank/unknown until such sources that provide 101% confirmation that a specific country will host in 2015. Wes Mouse | T@lk 18:18, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But Oikotimes say their news is true! EuroFan98 (talk) 18:44, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've moved your comment from my talk page to yours. It is much easier to hold a conversation in one place, rather than in separate talk pages, which causes confusion. But in reply to your comment. I could easily set up a website and post a report saying pigs really do fly - but that doesn't make what I have said to be factually true, unless I source my evidence. It has been proven on many occasion that Oikotimes have published false information, hence why WikiProject Eurovision do not see them as reliable any more. That website can have people join for free and publish news stories, claiming them to be "true", when they may not be so. Wes Mouse | T@lk 18:51, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Eurovision Greatest Hits show[edit]

Whatever you do, do not create an article for the anniversary show. One has been in progress (per project discussion) at User:Wesley Mouse/sandbox/60 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest. I'm waiting for an admin to do a technical move of that to 60 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest, so that the edit history is in tact. Then do a page move to its new title. Wes Mouse | T@lk 11:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Loreen was mentioned in the first citation. Don't forget this article has been compiled since October 2014, with sources added as they became available. Wes Mouse | T@lk 11:50, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You are aware that the Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits show is non-competitive, right? It isn't like the show to celebrate 50 years and find the "ultimate Eurovision winner". This one by the BBC is just a celebration concert to showcase the greatest hits of the last 60 years. Wes Mouse | T@lk 18:28, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yay! Claus Michael talk 19:32, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So when you posted on my talk page that "if Loreen wins this show you will stop watching Eurovision forever" - then do not fear she is only performing the song, it is not in contention of being "a winner". You did read the article right, to have understood it was only a concert show? And please sign your comments like this ~~~~, not doing so may cause the signature bot to go crazy. Wes Mouse | T@lk 18:30, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 May 29#Future Eurovision Song Contests for more information. I have deleted the two re-directs you recently created under the WP:CSD#G4 criterion. Thank you. CT Cooper · talk 19:06, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit dispute[edit]

EuroFan98, there is a discussion taking place at Talk:Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2015#Removal of content, in which you have been involved in an edit dispute. Please take a look at the conversation, and feel free to participate. Thank you. Wes Mouse  22:24, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:04, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citation errors[edit]

Thank you for updating the citation for Poland on JESC 2016 article. However, this is not the correct way to handle foreign language citations. Please familiarise yourself with {{Cite web}} and all of its parameters. Always use the |language= parameter when a source is in a language other than English, to denote what language it is in, and to remember to also add |trans_title= and provide a translation of the source's headline into English. When done correctly, the edit should have looked like this. On this occasion I have used my expert skills and cleaned up the error for you. But next time, make sure you do it properly. Thanks. Wes Mouse  T@lk 14:14, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

September 2016[edit]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Oslo Spektrum, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:35, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Pickette (talk) 16:04, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Wesley Mouse. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2016, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You should know better by now about adding a living person without sources.

WikiProject Eurovision: Important Announcement[edit]

WikiProject Eurovision
Important Announcement


Dear Project Member

Following a project community discussion, which was raised over the use of English translation columns on annual contest articles, and advice from the lead coordinator of The Guild of Copy Editors, who are extremely knowledgeable in regards to all editing practises and manual of style policies. A consensus decision has been reached to fully remove ALL English translations, as such content falls under the prohibition on original research, even if it seems helpful to the reader. This is because we have now to assume that every reader has access to automated translation tools that can always give them a sense of the meaning of the title in their native language; it is not Wikipedia's job to provide those tools for the reader. Which therefore means we are no longer to include an English translation column, nor are we to provide translation by any other means on contest articles.

Such information is currently in the process of being removed, and a new table formatting and layout style is being rolled out across all articles. Please view the new guidance on table layout at Wikipedia:WikiProject Eurovision/Format and Guides#Article layout. An example of the new table layout style can also be access via the collapsed section within this message. Thank you.

Disruptive editing[edit]

I think you should self-revert this edit very quickly and pay attention to the hidden notice in the article and also what has been noted in the edit summary. It is only the YouTube channel that has changed the band name for Russia, and we cannot accept YouTube as a citation due to WP:COPYRIGHT. The fact that you have now started to alter information that does no correspond with the citation being used, means you have engaged in an edit war, which you can be blocked if you continue to act irresponsibly. Wes Mouse  T@lk 19:39, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Until the official website has changed with the new information, then we cannot go changing it against "original research". Sorry! Now act fast and undo your edit. Thank. Wes Mouse  T@lk 19:41, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
