Talk:Europa coin programme

Untitled
can someone create a table similar to the one in the article Eurovision -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision

for this article we need only from the year 2004 up to 2008
 * the link to 2004 will be Europa Coins 2004 and so on--Melitikus (talk) 21:55, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * not sure if that is what you wanted.
 * perhaps you can fit the coins on this article rather than making a separate article for each year?Kevin hipwell (talk) 23:00, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

i was looking for something like this

Eurovision years

about all in one page - in some time this article will be massive so its better to start from the beginning to sort it by years


 * Do you not think a template to contain 5 year articles is a bit excessive considering (at least in my ::opinion) Templates can look "not-so-pretty" and a new link will only be added once every year?Kevin hipwell (talk) 23:14, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

in a way that is true - maybe have to think about something else--Melitikus (talk) 23:17, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Very good idea but ...
Melitikus,

This is a very good idea: to have a set of articles representing the Europe program. This is definitely something worth to put a lot of efforts on it to make it right. However, I am very tight with time, and I am putting two-three hours a day in the Euro gold and silver commemorative coins set of articles, which as you can imagine it takes time since there are a lot of coins to cover.

As a compromise, why don't you help us more on the previous set of articles (as you just did for Malta) and then we can all attack this new sets? Once the original information is there, creating these new sets as well as any other sets it will be very easy. What it takes time is to find the information of all the coins for all the countries, all in so many languages, if you are having trouble with editing HTML send me a mail with the info and I will reformat it to fit the design of the articles.

What do you think? I have this gut feeling that you can help us a lot finding information... Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:42, 22 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree with Miguel,
 * This article is a great idea
 * Time is tight with all the work to be done on the Gold and Silver article
 * Your continued help on those articles would be greatly appreciated!

Yes I can help even though i dont have much knowledge about the gold and silver commemorative coins so in a way i am a bit lost thats why i ve tried to help only in the Maltese part because i am only sure of that - Its true that once the gold and silver topics are ready then it will be very easy to build up the europa coins topics.

since most of the pictures have to be taken from the official mint websites what copyright tags should i use?

I can try to build the Vatican article - and i wish that one day I give more time to make the article "Commemorative Coins of Malta" nicer but as you all said basically I have only few hours of free time in the weekends not even daily

in another discussion i was suggesting to add my euro forum to all the euro pages, so maybe the people that visit these site join and have an active discussions and then they will help in building up the articles or at least providing us the infromation - the latter is the system that I ve used to build up the Euro starter kits article

 * Melitikus,


 * I have no problem with the link to your forum, but the rules of Wikipedia are followed by some quite strict and the link may get deleted. However, if there is information in your forum, and you cite it in your articles, then there should be no issue.  That is the best way I think and it will be difficult for people to say 'remove it' when it is being used for citing.  Just a couple of thoughts...


 * If you can start the Vatican City article, that will be great. The copyright to use is "picture of a currency that may be copyrighted".  I will help you around if you decide to start...


 * Thanks, Miguel.mateo (talk) 14:24, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

I ve started already http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_gold_and_silver_commemorative_coins_%28Vatican%29

but i didnt know about that tag so maybe we should change the tag but i hv no idea how--Melitikus (talk) 14:34, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Suggested move
What do you think about moving the article to "Europa coin programme"? I don't think the term "Europa Coin" is notable among collectors or other interested parties. Europa coins owe their defining feature to the Europa coin programme, due to their status as participants in that programme. Therefore, I think the article should be named after the programme. What do you think? Alfons Åberg (talk) 04:38, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, if there are no comments, I'll be WP:BOLD and do the move. Alfons Åberg (talk) 04:40, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
