Information icon Hello, I'm Wesley Mouse. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Eurovision Song Contest 2016 seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The journalists of the source state that the report is just based on their "imagination", and this goes against WP:CRYSTAL and No Original Research. Wes Mouse  13:36, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Eurovision 2017 edits

[edit]

Hi SGriffin94, thank you for the recent edits you made in regards to Israel at Eurovision 2017. I have reworded your addition slightly, for grammar purposes. Also the part you wrote about "possible disqualification" has been removed - the reason being that the source itself does not state this fact, and therefore you had inserted original thought about an outcome that has not been stated in any sourced context. As you are aware, we are not suppose to incorporate original analysis or original research. So please be more careful in future and avoid adding original content. Wes Wolf Talk 13:43, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, User:SGriffin94/sandbox

[edit]

Hello, SGriffin94. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. LinguistunEinsuno 17:52, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

September 2018

[edit]

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Eurovision Song Contest 2019, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Really, why did you revert all these changes?Dimsar01 Talk ⌚→ 13:16, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SGriffin94: Hello! Don't worry if you misunderstood the text above; it's a template (specifically the Template:uw-delete2) which I added to your page using Twinkle. Not everything that is mentioned above is about your case (there's an "or" between the words "content" and "templates"). Regarding your edit, if you compare your edit with Fort esc's one you can see that apart from changing the venue's capacity, you removed a whole section about the venue, reverted small changes in the Candidate cities table and also removed Greece from the participating countries table despite a reliable source.
By the way, you don't have to ironically mimic the way the the above mentioned template is written; just write what you didn't understand. And the "September 2018" heading is automatically being added by Twinkle. —Dimsar01 Talk ⌚→ 23:06, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I believe I understand where I went wrong now. For some reason, though, I did not even touch the additional information about the venue, nor did I remove Greece from the list of participating countries. Do you think I might have accidentally clicked something that caused this to happen? I promise you I was only trying to edit that one cell. Thank you for explaining what went wrong, however; I will mitigate in the future. SGriffin94 Talk ⌚→ 19:51, 16 September 2018 (EST)
Small update: I just checked the comparison between edits; I can promise you I did not edit anything other than where the dagger icon (†) was located on the table of applicant cities. Do you think my account could have possibly been hacked? I am very scared I might have been compromised... Thank you for whatever help you can provide me with! SGriffin94 Talk ⌚→ 19:57, 16 September 2018 (EST)
@SGriffin94: I don't know what may have happened but that's what you did. One explanation is that you had the page open from before Greece was added and the rest of the changes were made and then you edited the change reverting all edits made after you had opened the page. According the "small update" you're saying that you only did the revisions 859829191 and 859829392 and not the 859733848 where you removed 1,152 bytes. If you think your account has been hacked try contacting a checkuser. This user group can check the IP addresses of any user, so ask them to check if a different IP used your account at the time of that edit (9/16/2018, 23:50 UTC). Keep in mind, however, that they may decline your request. —Dimsar01 Talk ⌚→ 13:03, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever happened with the edits yesterday, I will do what I can to mitigate from the snafu that occurred. I am terribly sorry this happened; I hope it does not affect my editing privileges of the Eurovision Song Contest pages. Thank you. SGriffin94 Talk ⌚→ 19:31, 17 September 2018 (EST)

@SGriffin94: No problem. You would need to vandalize the article on purpose a few times to get blocked by an administrator, so don't worry. By the way, it'susually preffered to keep a conversation in one talk page (that's why I've moved it here). —Dimsar01 Talk ⌚→ 13:15, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dimsar01: Thank you for explaining the termination guidelines. Because what I did was accidental (it was probably because of an unintentional revert you suggested in a previous message), does it not put any strikes against me? SGriffin94 Talk ⌚→ 19:37, 18 September 2018 (EST)

Hello! I was just scrolling through and noticed this policy: WP:SIGFORGE. So if you don't mind, please modify your signature so that we avoid causing any confusion to other users by having too similar designs.
