Talk:Amnesia (Roxen song)

Eurovision-related content hidden pre-announcement
I've hidden the Eurovision-related content from this entry because none of the sources say that this is the song is Roxen's Eurovision entry. Even if it is very likely to be her song, and everyone expects it to be, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, even if an announcement will be released in a few hours. Once an announcement has been made, feel free to remove the comment tags.  Mr. Gerbear | Talk 23:54, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

Article length
Do we really need so much information and details about all the Romanian entries in Eurovision? I find this very odd, especially since non qualifying entries from Romania have tons of irrelevant information and actual Eurovision winning songs have only a few lines written down.

 * Each Romanian Eurovision entry is notable since it participates in such a prestigious and grand event that is Eurovision. Thus, they receive moderate to a lot of media coverage, hence why we get so many information. Things about the composition, background and anything related to the Eurovision performance are always notable. Greets; Cartoon network freak (talk) 21:03, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Each article on Wikipedia about a notable subject is allowed to have a lengthy article written about it. And just because a song did not qualify doesn't take any of its rights of having a well-written article about it. Cartoon network freak (talk) 21:06, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I do get that and I know very well what the Eurovision Song Contest is but to me it doesn't make any sense to have such lengthy articles about unsuccessful Eurovision entries while most of the winning songs have very little information on their articles. It's very important to treat these songs by their importance, not simply based on the fact they are representing your country at Eurovision. I strongly believe that having such lengthy articles for the Romanian entries doesn't improve the standards of Wikipedia, it simply makes it come across as a fan fiction website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Porcina (talk • contribs) 20:16, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * By your logic, only significant and powerful countries such as the United States would be allowed to have lengthy articles, while smaller, not-as-significant ones such as Romania or Luxembourg would have to be limited to short articles. This is not how Wikipedia works. If a subject is somehow notable, then it deserves to have an article as lengthy as other topics that are 'more' notable. There is no "this is how much you can write about your topic if it has the grade X of importance" calculation on Wikipedia. I, for example, like to edit articles about Romania, and as long as I add suitable content from reliable sources to those notable articles, please let me do that. I'm linking you to the article for fan fiction; please read the definition of it there and understand that it has nothing to do with the cited and sourced work that I/we do on Wikipedia. Thank you.

 * I know very well what fan fiction means and please don't play it sassy with me because it doesn't work. I said it comes across as fan fiction and that's exactly the feeling I got after reading the articles of the Romanian entries. You haven't even replied to what I said and you completely misunderstood my point, so let's try again. It's all about prioritizing. You want to improve the quality of the Wikipedia articles for Eurovision? Great, I don't have anything against that, but you should start with the *real* relevant Eurovision songs such as the winning ones or those which have charted at least in more than one country to start with. Having such lengthy articles for Romanian entries which have failed to qualify from the semifinals, have failed to chart even in Romania and simply didn't become relevant in any way even in the Eurovision fandom is not only not necessary but can also be very misleading for the Wikipedia readers. I strongly believe that what you're doing is not improving Wikipedia standards in any way, on the contrary. Once again because it looks like you didn't understand my point the last time, it has nothing to do with the country (hence you mentioned if it was a US song it could have a lengthy article), it has everything to do with those songs themselves!!!! - I hope that you manage to read this in a less defensive way and understand that what I'm saying here is constructive criticism. I will leave it now up to the admins, but I strongly believe what you're doing is a big mistake for Wikipedia quality wise. Porcina (talk) 22:44, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * What'd I do? --BugsFan17 (talk) 20:15, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * All I have to say is that as long as the information is sourced, then it should be included. This is the structure of Eurovision song articles. Is there really an issue here? I don’t see one.BabbaQ (talk) 22:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Secondly, this is not the place for a general discussion about Eurovision-song articles. It should be held over at the Eurovision projects talk page.BabbaQ (talk) 22:30, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I do agree with BabaQ. This is my last ping for all of you here, but if you feel like this needs to be further discussed, please take this to the Eurovision WikiProject talk page. I apologize for any inconvenience; Cartoon network freak (talk) 05:51, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
 * We are a group of volunteers. Cartoon network freak cares about Romania's entries and chooses to edit them because of that. It's not any one editor's fault that some winning songs have short or poorly written articles. The spirit of Wikipedia is that we can edit what we want. If it bothers you that some of them are underdeveloped, I would suggest you focus on improving them. To expect that any one of us are going to use our spare time to edit specific articles that we may not care about is a stretch. It is not fair to go after a one editor who did a great job and who has really raised the bar for what we should expect for other articles. To lighten the mood, ask me how I felt about dedicating the entire month of March to bringing all of San Marino's articles to GA when all of the songs were soooo bad! Let's all work together to improve all the articles within the project. Teamwork is the best strategy. Grk1011 (talk) 14:06, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Short description
I agree that it would be convenient for an infobox to generate a short description, but I'm not seeing one either on mobile (logged out) or by CSS which makes the SD visible (works on other pages). Do we need to change the infobox somehow to generate a SD? Certes (talk) 21:28, 29 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I noticed that most song articles usually omit the short description as it is generated by the infobox which is why I removed it. However, looking now, I saw that it doesn't appear on my phone either, so I guess it can stay. I don't know why as it seems everything is alright with the infobox. Apologies.

 * Thanks for looking into this. I'll put the short description back temporarily, and it can be removed again once the infobox generates one.  This page popped up on a search as English Wikipedia's only GA without a SD, so I think it would benefit from one. Certes (talk) 11:06, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
