Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest

Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest edit

This is a self-nomination. The page contains a brief explanation of Austria's record in the ESC (and I can add more and/or fix what's already there if that's a problem for anyone) as well as a list of links to the relevant songs. There will presumably be an addition of another song in the first few months of next year, but it's about as stable as these things can ever be.

Oppose. No inline sourcing. Lede is a bit POV "Austria's entries have been unusual and seemingly out-of-step with the rest of the contest." It seems rather short. Are there any other lists you can add in? Also, you only plan to have it about Austria candidates and not overall Austria in the contest, you might want to rename it as List of Austrian candidates in the Eurovision Song Contest or something like that. If you want to keep it about Austria in general in the project, you might want to expand it and ultimately go for FAC, not FLC. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Inline sourcing I'll fix (I was hoping that citations at the end of the relevant facts would be enough, but evidently not). Ditto the lead. In terms of the title, it's in line with the other articles on "X in the Eurovision Song Contest" - some have more information on the country's involvement, some have less. Certainly I've been told in the past that there's no obstacle in calling this a list, even though the title doesn't begin with "list of ____".

- Sourcing has been fixed and I've tweaked the sentence in the lead which was attracting attention. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Good. I think you should explain why Austria wasn't involved in 69, 70, 73, 74, 75, 98, and 01. Hurricanehink (talk) 04:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - That's currently explained in the articles on the relevant songs (so 00 explains why they missed 01, f'rinstance), but I can see what you mean about the main article being a better place for it. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:57, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Titles are not capitalised in German. This looks awful. On the other hand, it can easily be changed. Then we'll see. <KF> 23:05, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. I wish I knew why that had slipped my mind earlier on in the piece. I've de-capitalised all the non-noun (and non-title-initial) words in the German language titles. The only songs with full capitalisation are those with English titles, those with proper noun titles in German and the one in Spanish (about which I don't know the capitalisation rules). I'll physically move the pages later today when I'm not trying to do too many things at once. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:44, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
