Semi-protected edit request on 12 January 2015

Within the participants page of this article under the list of semi finalist countries no information has been provided on Poland in the terms of their dates for publishing their selected artist and song for the 2015 Eurovision song contest. However on the website esctoday.com in an article confirming Poland's participation in the 2015 contest it also states that Poland will publish their selected artist and song for the contest in March 2015.

Edurne will represent Spain in eurovision 2015 with the song "Amanecer"

It is written entirely in zspanish

the article should show the picture of the stage

as it have been released on eurovision.tv it should be in the article. i also suggest that the same is done for earlier years that are lacking pictures of the stage, in order to make it consistant. there was sucg pictures in 2010 and 2013 at the very least but where you can find them i do not know for sure but, you could check nrk`s melodi grand prix forum as they were posted there. an easier source would be better though.84.213.46.153 (talk) 17:44, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia can't use pictures if they are copyrighted, which is probably why there is no picture as of yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.23.126.238 (talk) 11:22, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Per WP:COPY we cannot upload images to Wikipedia that are protected under copyright licenses. However, as we know that Ervin.juhasz is an editor at Eurovision.tv, then if he could ask someone at the EBU to grant us permission then we would be able to get around the whole copyrights issue.

Template:Eurovision Song Contest 2015

Not this page but {{Eurovision Song Contest 2015}}, does anyone else think we need a visible disambiguation between the two "Warrior" songs on the template? I know you can hover over it, but some way to indicate what country it is? -- [[ axg // ✉ ]] 11:49, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I think so as well, and edited the template accordingly. Slasher-fun (talk) 15:35, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree it is a wise idea to differentiate between the two. We know too well how easy people can get confuzzled. Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 15:41, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Greece on map

I would like to make a note on the visibility of Greece's map. Because the country does not seem very well maybe we could do some editing so it looks better? That I suggest to add some of the Aegean islands (now they do not look), or make more precise the territory? Jeanis12345, 31 January 2015, 12:20 (UTC)

Hey. I'm having a hard time understanding what you're getting at. You'd like to note that the visibility of Greece's map is not optimal and you're interesting in improving it. You say, "The country does not seem very well maybe we could do some editing." Could you reword it with more punctuation to detail your thoughts? Also, your question about the Aegean Islands; what do you mean by "now they do not look"? I can dissect the last bit and see that you're interested in making the territory more precise, but are we talking about the Aegean Islands specifically in this aspect as well? I appreciate you taking the time to write this up about the article though. You clearly have the best interest of the article in mind. Making it the best we can is also why I'm taking this time to inquire as to what exactly you're typing about. Thanks, user:jeanis12345. Let me know if you have inquiries to my message. Chewbakadog (talk) 10:41, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

I think what is meant here is that Greece is a combination of mainland and lots of islands. The map image itself only shows the island of Crete but none of the other Greek Islands. Perhaps the reason some have not been included is because they are that small that on a map image like ours they would just appear as miniature dots barely visible to the naked eye. We need to take into consideration visitors who have visual disabilities, and try to depict as much island information as possible, without going overboard and depicting all of the approx 6,000 islands. Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 14:26, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

That map has many more islands missing, Skye being another omission, addind back in some of the larger islands will be fine, but not all the tine ones. -- [[ axg // ✉ ]] 14:59, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Because I keep up with the Eurovision Song Contest regularly, despite being in North America, I would like to be given the privilege of editing the annual Contests' articles when necessary. Thank you! SGriffin94 (talk) 21:45, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

@SGriffin94: This will happen in due course. You have only registered an account with Wikipedia on 31 January 2015 (a warm welcome to Wikipedia by the way). Your user rights will change to autoconfirmed after four days and you have made at least 10 edits, after which you will be able to edit semi-protected pages.

Czech commentator

I can't find the name of the Czech commentator anywhere in the used source. Aejsing (talk) 21:53, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Song Finalisation

I had a (rather pathetic) email from the BBC and they said that the deadline for the countries to reveal their songs is 15 March. I know we can't use this because it classifies as original research - has this been released anywhere by ESCToday, eurovision.tv, etc. - and if so, should it go in this article? Spa-Franks (talk) 00:07, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Has a country ever been denied from participating because they didn't meet a deadline 2 months before the actual competition? Seems horribly arbitrary if that's the case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.23.126.238 (talk) 08:15, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

countries have been fined for failing to meet the deadline so countries can be punished at the very least though. ban is unlikely but it happened in 2009.84.213.46.153 (talk) 18:58, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Italian participant

This year's Italian entry is Il Volo's "Grande amore." The language is Italian. http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=il_volo_wins_italian_festival_di_sanremo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kazuloves (talk • contribs) 15:55, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

The winning song in Sanremo is not always the song performed in Eurovision. Sanremo is used to select the competing artist, not their song. We will know in due weeks if Il Volo will sing "Grande amore" or some other song. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 16:24, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 8 March 2015 (song titles)

In my opinion, a better translation for the portuguese song title would be "There's a sea that parts us". Despite being a small and possibly meaningless change, I think it is a more appropriate translation of the meaning that the song contans. Hence, I suggest ths field

| Portugal | Portuguese | Leonor Andrade | "Há um mar que nos separa" | There's a sea that separates us

should be replaces with this:

| Portugal | Portuguese | Leonor Andrade | "Há um mar que nos separa" | There's a sea that parts us

Tccph20 (talk) 11:21, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

The proposed change makes no English grammatical sense. A sea cannot "part" people. However, it does "separate" people. Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 14:35, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Romania 2015

Romania will sing in English. The title of the song in this language is "All Over Again". http://eurowizja.org/?p=9148 (in Polish) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.79.52.73 (talk) 22:23, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes there have been sources saying the song will be song in English. But there's also been sources saying that after releasing the English version, Voltaj will decide which language to sing in (source). We will wait until a confirmation. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 22:28, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Jjj1238 is correct here. If there are conflicting sources over what language the song will be performed in, then the status quo is to wait for 100& confirmation from the primary source (in this case would be Eurovision.tv). Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 23:53, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Firstly, I've modified this thread so that it shows a more appropriate title, and the "templates" are nested within a table. Secondly, I don't understand what change needs to be made, as the article already shows those details. Could @Bojan09: please elaborate in more detail as to what the problem is, so that myself or @Arjayay: can assist or provide a better answer. Thank you. Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 15:16, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Sincere apologies, I have just noticed that this request and the one previous are related. So I've merged them together. Also there is no evidence of the song going to be performed entirely in English at this current stage. Even Eurovision.tv show the song will be in Macedonian. If in the event they update their details, then and only then can we update our article accordingly. Until that time, there is no changes to be made. Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 15:21, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

@Wesley Mouse: Actually, it's quite true. Here is an article in Macedonian with a title, "Daniel Kajmakoski will sing in English in Vienna". In it, there are details how he is working on the new arrangement and lyrics, however, there is no an official title for the English version yet. — Tomíca^(T2ME) 18:10, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

And how reliable is that website, @Tomica:? When there are conflicting secondary/tertiary sources; then the way to resolve such conflictual evidence is to go off the primary source. Wes Mouse | ^T@lk 18:15, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
