== Your behaviour at talk pages ==

Grandmaster, you know that talk pages are for serious discussions and everyone is trying to waste lesser time at talk and reach a common understanding according to the reliable sources provided. I'll assume good faith, but some things seems to be problematic to me:
*1) we had many talks about several articles, in several accasions I suggested consensus (for example, ), but until now I don't remember even one consensus I made with you.
*2) while explaining yourself at talks, you prefer not to explain the whole problems you believe article has, but just asking some questions related to minor detals, which, if answered, will be added by other questions, and so on. We lost a lot of time discussing things which are not important, and when I'm answering a last question and the problem seems to be resolved, you (or Brandmeister, who mostly reverts in place of you) are again asking your first question, and this beacame a useless circle of discussions with no finish (a classical example is ). I don't remember a discussion where you concentrated your attitude and explained all the problems you see at once. Mind ].
*3) it is the most important to me: only during the last time in several occasions at different talks you accused things which are '''not true''', or misinterpreted and I need to waste some time to check that what you're writing is not true. Just some examples from the last few days:
** Here you write: ''"This source is about events in Guba: "''. While, if you check the source, it is called "General Information on Azerbaijani Jewish Organizations" and among the hundreds of sentences only one is partially about Guba. So what you write is not true.
** Here you write: ''"Again, there was no settlement called Armenikend in Soviet times. The area was called Mamedyarov settlement. Google books is full with sources attesting to that."'' Google books has 0 books on "Mamedyarov settlement" .
** Here you're claiming ''"The Soviet development in the area was not called Armenikend, it was called Mamedyarov settlement. See: "'' by a selective search (searching the name you prefer in Russian, as no source in English supports you) of sources (you selected 4 sources of 414). But even the first result you have doesn't support you, it uses the name you reject, as dominant.
I'm sure if you waste a little more time to check what you're writing, you will not add so much baseless and disruptive information into the talks. ] (]) 17:44, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Message from the Editorial Team

Welcome to the revamped WikiProject Eurvision newsletter! Yes, we're back after a 2-year absence! After much deliberation it was decided to resurrect the project newsletter, so that everyone can be kept informed of the goings-on around the project cyber-house. This newsletter will be delivered to you on a monthly basis with news, reviews, and updates relating to WikiProject Eurovision.

Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Misplaced Pages articles, and welcome our new members to the project.

  • If you would like something to appear in the July 2012 Edition of the newsletter, then please inform us at the Project Newsdesk.

Happy editing,

Important News
  • There is a RfC discussion in regards to article layout, taking place on the project talk page. Could all members please ensure that they participate in the discussion so that we can all agree on important article structure issues. If you don't take part, then you only have yourselves to blame if a consensus is passed that you disagree with.

Project News
  • When creating new articles about a performer or song, please remember to add sources either from Eurovision.tv, ESCToday or other reliable sources. If you're not sure a source is reliable enough, then ask the project for an opinion.
  • Data tables of winners for OGAE and Marcel Bezençon Awards have been mass added under the radar across a variety of Eurovision articles without any consensus, which there should be for something like that. These sections have been badly formatted with various problems including inappropriate links in the section headings (discouraged in MOS:HEAD), no written explanation on what these tables mean, and most importantly, no sources.
  • Remember to only add content to articles that is relevant to the article's main subject. Anything not in relation to the article may be questioned and/or subject to redirection to an article that would benefit it's inclusion. Again if in doubt, ask on the article or project talk pages for an opinion - communication is an important tool.
  • On the subject of communication, please make use of the article talk pages. They are a vital tool in conducting consensus talks of additions of proposed new sections and/or removal of unnecessary section. If you don't use these pages to put across your views, then you only have yourself to blame if actions are taken that you disagree with and you end up wandering into edit warring territory.
  • The 2012 season of Eurovision has drawn to a close, and we now start preparations for the 2013 edition. While things will be slow to start of with, now is the ideal opportunity to do a clean-up exercise across articles relating to the project. There's over 4,500 articles associated with the project. If you happen to see a Eurovision related article without the {{EurovisionNotice}} template on the article's talk page, please add it. You can also read Misplaced Pages:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment if you would like to help assess or reassess articles in our project if you see that they have outgrown their current assessment. There is currently one unassessed article.
  • And finally... a massive thank you to all members of the project for your constant hard work on collaborating and contributing to Eurovision related articles. Keep up the good work team!

New Members

We would like to welcome the following new members who joined since the 1 January 2012. (in alphabetical order)

Armenians in Azerbaijan

Please also be aware of Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2 before making further reverts. You're an active part of an editwarring while you even doesn't explain your actions on article's talk. Your edit is too much dubious and not consensused. Gazifikator (talk) 19:07, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

It is impossible to know if citizens who are assumed to exist (because the page implies they are in hiding to avoid discrimination) are married to a certain group or not or if they are "elderly and sick, and probably have no other family members."; The "probably" part being mere speculation. I think you're biased because you are an azeri. As Gazifikator pointed out, you're also a hypocrite. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 21:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

I don't know why you are even fighting over this. You can find the same info on US State Department website: Approximately 10,000-30,000 Armenians (almost exclusively persons of mixed descent or mixed marriages) remain in Azerbaijan (in addition to Armenians residing in Nagorno-Karabakh). Approximately 20,700 Armenians, almost exclusively persons of mixed descent or mixed marriages, remained in the country (in addition to Armenians residing in occupied territories). Also, mind WP:NPA, this is your only warning. Gazifikator is not a good example to follow, he has recently been blocked for sockpuppetry, and is on indefinite 1RR. Grandmaster 21:59, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
US State Department website is weird place to get good information. This shitty site is edited by interns. Some country info is simply weird. See for yourself: "Separatist activities undertaken by Farsi-speaking Talysh in the south and Caucasian Lezghins in the north in the early 1990s engendered some suspicions in other citizens and fostered occasional discrimination." Talysh so not speak Farsi, they speak their own language which belongs to the Iranic group, like Kurdish or Ossetian. See also how this stupid sentence is composed: it creates the wrong impression that the cause of the controversy is in the fact that there are Farsi soeaking Talysh and some other Talysh. These writers are just nutheads. US State Department website should be mostly ignored. Sprutt (talk) 01:55, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
I agree with Sprutt. Also, discrediting someone only discredits yourself.--TheShadowCrow (talk) 01:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
What you think of US State Department is your personal opinion. I see that it is not connected to Azerbaijani or Armenian government, and is neutral in this issue. It is used throughout Misplaced Pages. We can attribute the info to the US State Department, and that pretty much closes the issue. Grandmaster 10:37, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
The Department isn't perfect, they have made errors.--TheShadowCrow (talk) 14:49, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Project Eurovision RFC discussion reminder

WikiProject Eurovision: This is a reminder to all members of Project Eurovision, that there is still an ongoing RfC discussion taking place at the project talk page. It is vital that everyone participates in this discussion, as it concerns the future manual of style and article layout in regards to Eurovision Song Contest by Year and Junior Eurovision Song Contest by Year articles. This is your ideal opportunity to contribute suggestions and ideas on a major issue, which will reflect on the way these articles will be written in future. Thank You!
