| valign="top" style="border: 1px gray solid; padding: 1em;" | ; From the Members Welcome to the eleventh edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter! Things are beginning to quiet down now that the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest is behind us, which is the project's busiest time of year. A few of us however still had to slow down during this period, including myself, as May and June also happens to be exam season in multiple parts of the world. There is much still to be done in any case with preparations for the 2010 Song Contest now well under way, and the host city, Oslo, now confirmed. There are several items that this project needs to debate including choices of sourcing and what contests come under the banner of this project. The first of these items is already being addressed at a new RfC (see left). Further ideas that could be developed include creation of some article guidelines for Eurovision articles. This could start as an advisory essay and then later, if consensus permits, become an official Wikipedia guideline. Examples of these already in existence include Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines and Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. Happy editing, |

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.
- Adhere strictly to the Biographies of living persons policy when adding to information to biography articles.
:#Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a reliable source and is verifiable.
:#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a non-point of view perspective and is neutral.
- Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
- If a sentence seems to be untrue or does not have a source, add a
{{fact}} tag directly after it. In the case of biographies of living persons, if the material is contentious and either unsourced or poorly sourced, it should be removed immediately. - Please remember that fair use images and media can be only be used if no free equivalent is available or could be created. Fair use images uploaded when a free equivalent exists will be deleted.
- If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain consensus from the project first.

| valign="top" style="border: 1px gray solid; padding: 1em;" | ; From the Members Welcome to the twelfth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter! It has been a very slow couple of months in terms of Eurovision news since the passing of the 2009 Contest, however, it has been a very busy time for guidelines and policies affecting our project. Landmark decisions have been made regarding our use of sources and even how we are to refer to Macedonia. In addition, several of our Good Articles have been delisted as part of a task force charged with maintaining the quality of Wikipedia's Good Articles. With there being less information to add and therefore less to do for some, we need to focus on the upkeep and quality of our project's articles and getting those inactive members active once again. We can do this by making sure all new guidelines and naming policies are adhered to and by working to move articles up the quality scale. We are a WikiProject and we all work towards a similar goal. Introduce yourself to your fellow members and get active! Happy editing, Grk1011/Stephen (talk). |
