Editor's Message
Bienvenue! Velkommen! Welcome!

Happy Birthday Project Eurovision. That's right, 13 September 2003 was the day that Project Eurovision was born, and today (Friday 13th September 2013]] marks our tenth anniversary. So much has happened throughout the last 10 years. Members came, members left. We've shared good times and bad times. But most importantly, we've continued to work together as a team, producing thousands of articles between us, with a few achieving featured and good article standards. It is the collaborated teamwork that makes us one of the most efficient projects on Wikipedia. Here's looking towards the next 10 years of Project Eurovision. Hip hip hooray!

And as always, 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.

Happy editing! Wesley & Mr. Gerbear

Headlines
Project News
  • Two articles, Eurovision 2011 and 2013, are still Good Article nominees.
  • Bonnie Tyler has been nominated for a peer review.
  • A reminder to members regarding article creations. Quite a few articles (including BLPs) have been created without having the talk page banners created and assessed for importance and classification. Without this information then the project's assessment scale will never be 100% accurate.
