EUROVISION monthly Issue: XXVI HOME • TALK • PORTAL • NEWSDESK • ARCHIVES • UNSUBSCRIBE Editor's Message Bienvenue! Välkommen! Welcome! A Very Happy New Year to all members of Project Eurovision. I hope you've all had a fabulous festive season, whatever it consisted of. As you will be well aware the 2013 Eurovision season is already in full-swing with some countries already having selected their representatives and/or song. The national selection season will get busier over the next coming weeks, so be on the look out for reliable sources so that we keep the article as up-to-date as possible. Avoid edit warring too, by keeping in regular communication with fellow members of this project, as well as remembering to provide a brief detail of your contributions via the edit summary. Please also remember to check the project article clean-up list below, and help to improve the articles that are a part of our project. 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. Here's to a prosperous 2013, and I look forward to working with you all in the coming months. Happy editing!

Hi, I've got a question on this edit, removing the statement of the birth name "Jee Un Park". To the extent you are permitted, can you disclose what was in the OTRS ticket? The birth name that was removed is supported by the cited source Gale Biography in Context; which is generally regarded as reliable. If it's not reliable, that's something I'd like to know. Although I'm the editor who added the birth name based on that source, I'm much more interested in having the article correct than including the name. TJRC (talk) 01:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, TJRC. The ticket is from Park herself and within it she says she has no idea where the error has come from but that it has been replicated in numerous places. In this case I felt it was better to defer to the person herself - I don't know where Gale lies on this, but myself and a fellow admin have had a look at the source and you're right, it does use the Korean name. I'm honestly not sure what the best course of action here is; Wikipedia tends to prefer to repeat sources, but in this case it looks like the source is false. Strange one... — foxj 02:14, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow-up. I'll be a little more skeptical of Gale in the future. TJRC (talk) 02:20, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Miles Jacobson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Barbican (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey all; another newsletter.

• If you're not already aware, a Request for Comment on the future of the Article Feedback Tool on the English-language Wikipedia is open; any and all comments, regardless of opinion and perspective, are welcome.
• Our final round of hand-coding is complete, and the results can be found here; thanks to everyone who took part!
• We've made test deployments to the German and French-language projects; if you are aware of any other projects that might like to test out or use the tool, please let me know :).
• Developers continue to work on the upgraded version of the feedback page that was discussed during our last office hours session, with a prototype ready for you to play around with in a few weeks.

That's all for now! Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 16:09, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Err, Foxj? Do you really think you should be doing major article renovations while the article is fully-protected for edit warring? That's generally considered very much not kosher. — Coren ^(talk) 16:03, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

To restate what I said on IRC: What a load of bullshit. — foxj 16:06, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps, but it's generally agreed-upon bullshit. That said, I think your changes were sane, but they need to be discussed on the talk page. — Coren ^(talk) 16:27, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm not interested in having to get my changes screened potentially by conflicted sockpuppets, thanks. — foxj 16:34, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey Fox - this is to notify you that there is a discussion starting on the Article Feedback RfC talkpage that has ramifications for the RfC itself. Your input is much appreciated :). Thanks! and apologies if I've missed anyone Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
