ETA.. well, maybe only for selected years before 1981. The more recent World Championships don't show linescores. -- Earl Andrew - talk03:01, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, article assessment is actually a Wikipedia-wide policy. We don't get to decide what articles are going to be featured articles, for example, and that's the the #1 article class you can have. If all the other projects rated the
Men With Brooms article as a B-class article, then it is a B-class article, unless for some reason the article has depreciated since it was last rated. Article class rates the quality of the article, and a specific Wiki project cannot define article quality. We do get to define how important articles are. You'll note how I didn't revert your demotion of the article to low importance. -- Earl Andrew - talk22:42, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Alright, well... that's your judgement I guess. I'm not going to dispute this, I want to keep things civil. We should be focusing on expanding our articles instead of debating what to class articles. -- Earl Andrew - talk01:03, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 5%.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not
autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages

I've reverted your modification to the layout of the list of champions as the old layout made more sense.
Two sections - one of current titles active in ASW, the other of titles that are defunct/dormant or moved to other promotions. The second category subdivided into Mountevans and non-Mountevans titles.
Three of the four titles currently active in All Star were called for under the 1947 Mountevans Rules (and the fourth has old school roots inasmuch as it traces back to the immediate aftermath of the ITV era), therefore the Mountevans section is not meant as a complete list of Mountevans titles or even Mountevans titles in All Star, but just of the defunct ones. the active Mountevans titles go in the Current secton
It is not inconcievable that All Star may add the odd non Mountevans title or two in the future (there have been a couple in recent years) and these will go into the current titles section alongside Mountevans and non-Mountevans titles (the Current Titles section does not differentiate due to insufficent number of active ASW-based titles.)
Grouped the way you propose, we could end up with people coming along and inputting duplicate entries for those active titles with Mountevans roots, which would result in confusion. And that would not do.

There is currently a proposal to restructure this WikiProject and further define its scope. All members are strongly encouraged to comment.
The
Newsletter Department
is looking for editors who are willing to help publish the newsletter. Once published every month, a lack of help forced it to be published less and less often. Interested editors are welcome to suggest news, gather information, and suggest improvements.
Looking for something to do? We have a large quantity of articles tagged for clean-up. Even addressing one tag would be a great help. You can see the full list here.
Members have been joining very slowly. A good project has as many members as possible and this helps in discussions and editing so that members are not overwhelmed. If every member could invite a friend or acquaintance using our invitation template, it would make our project much more efficient. One little edit on a friend's talk page? Why not, it takes two seconds!
The membership list was recently re-organised with five usernames removed from the list due to these accounts being controlled by blocked or banned users, and to deal with cases where editors had added themselves to the list twice. Some usernames were also moved from the active to inactive list, and vice versa.
Spain's 2010 performance was stage crashed by Jimmy Jump and they were given a second chance to perform their song following the last song of the final.
Germany also became the first country to select its performer for the 2011 Contest, with Lena Meyer-Landrut set to defend her title.
Austria announced it's return to the Contest for 2011, with its last appearance being in 2007 when it placed second to last in the semi-final and did not progress to the final.
In late July,
Liechtenstein
submitted its application to join the EBU. With EBU membership, Liechtenstein would be able to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest. Managing director Peter Kölbel stated that there were "good chances" for a participation in 2011 if admittance is granted to the organization.
Welcome to the seventeenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!
I apologize for the lack of a newsletter these past few months as I had gotten quite busy in life. Adding to that, the lack of group participation by editors made me feel like my efforts were a waste of time that no one appreciates.
I think it is important that we behave like a "club" of sorts and have fun editing Eurovision articles. Eurovision is a fun event and we should be able to discuss the results, talk about Contest related possibilities and work to expand knowledge of the Contest to those who may not be familiar with it. When I edit articles, I hope that someone will come along later and say "wow, all of this happened and I didn't even know it!" Come on guys, get each other's
The project currently has 82 members, with seven joining and one leaving during the last five months. Note that the membership list was recently re-organised (see left), and that in the future only members listed as active Eurovision editors will receive this newsletter.

New Members
We would like to welcome the new members who joined between March and July (by date joined):
Please note that a category has to actually exist before you're allowed to add it to articles. Category:2010 US Open (tennis) does not, as you can tell by the fact that it's a redlink, so it can't be on articles (or replace the uncategorized template) until somebody actually creates it properly. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 22:34, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Categories are, first and foremost, a system to help people find articles. But if an article is in a category that doesn't exist — especially if that's the article's only category — then the article can't be found through that method. Look at it this way: if you were running a library, would you keep actively circulating books in a locked storeroom which your clientele couldn't access and didn't even know about, and then still expect them to be able to find and sign out those books without difficulty? No, you wouldn't — if a book is meant to circulate, then it has to be out on display on an active, publicly accessible shelf or rack, and if you're hiding it in a secret storeroom that means you're taking it out of circulation.

featured list candidate and listed as Nominations urgently needing reviews which means that it might fail unless somebody (you ;-) ) reviews the list. So far it received two "support" votes and one "oppose". All issues raised in the oppose vote have been addressed (the reviewer, "The Rambling Man", just needs to revisit the page). I'd be happy if you could take the time to review the list and leave comments, questions, suggestions and a vote ("support" or "oppose") on the nomination page.
