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!

Please can we also remember to keep this article well presented based on the layout that was agreed upon via the Project RfC. If in doubt, check Eurovision Song Contest 2012 as an example. That article is using the new layout format and gained the project it's first GA-class on annual pages. Let's maintain that high standard.
Also remember to communicate with fellow project members via the article talk or Project talk page, as communication is an important tool if we aim to collaborate as part of a team.
Please only add countries who have explicitly stated they will be competing, citing a reliable source. Anything not cited may be removed. If in doubt - ask someone for an opinion!
ABU Radio Song Festival 2014 - It was announced on 11 October 2012 that the 2014 Radio Festival will take place in Australia hosted by radio broadcaster ABC Australia.
As it is too soon to start work on the new article, can we please try and avoid creating one. Unless of course, there's enough information out there that would warrant an early creation.

Hello! I noticed the GA nomination of the ABU article; I hope everything goes smoothly with it. Just wanted to leave you a note regarding the ASEAN festivals history: most of that paragraph used to be supported by <ref name=Participants>[1], but the content has since been archived. The relevant bits can now be found at [2], which appears to be a permanent archive. I'm not sure if other instances of that ref need to be updated as well.

Eurovision 2013 Commentators
Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
Hi Wesley
Recently I've found a source for the 2013 French 'Fianl' commentators, it comes from esctoday but I don't know if it's reliable to put in the 2013 page, so I was wondering if I could have your oppinion if I can put it in or not.
Regards

We normally wait until the contest is over with for the commentators details to be included. But if the details are 100% confirmed, then I'd suggest seeking consensus via the article talk page. Wesley♦Mouse 13:23, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

ESC 1980 images
Latest comment: 11 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion
Hi Wesley,
As you are the man behind the Eurovision Newsletter I wanted you to know that I added 254 images of the 1980 contest's contestants. They were released Monday by the Beeld en Geluid institute in the Netherlands. Some of the images were actually used in the Eurovision Song Contest, during the song introductions. I already put some images in articles that didn't have on yet (e.g. Trigo Limpio, Blue Danube, Samira Said). Maybe you or your readers are willing to decerate more articles, like Eurovision Song Contest 1980. So, by my guest and enjoy the images :-) Clausule (talk) 01:02, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for this Clausule, I will mention something about the images in the next edition of the newsletter. Unless you wish to add something to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Eurovision/Newsletters#Suggestions just in case I forget when it comes to writing up the newsletter. Regards, Wesley♦Mouse 09:56, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Eurovision-fever is vast upon us with all songs and artists having already been selected, and the contest itself is just around the corner. So we as a collective need to be as vigilant as possible when it comes to content being updated to respective articles connected to Malmö 2013. Please remember to use citations to reliable sources on everything. If in doubt, then use the article talk page and/or the project talk page for open discussion.
The project has yet again gained another accolade on an annual article with the ABU TV Song Festival 2012 receiving GA classification. That is now 3 within a year, with the first being Eurovision Song Contest 2012 back in July last year, and ABU Radio Song Festival 2012 being the second last month. Congratulations once again to everyone who has helped to contribute to those respective articles. Now that we're gaining high accolades, let's see if we can maintain that by continuing to work as a team.
