Orphaned non-free media (File:Loose Women.svg)
Thanks for uploading File:Loose Women.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 15:52, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

Map help
Hi AxG,

Sorry to be a pain again. I've been modernising ProjectEurovision's "look and colour-scheme" to provide easier navigational tools for members to get around the project areas much easier and faster. However, I have noticed at Portal:Eurovision that the map there is... well to put it bluntly... a bit of a botched job. Firstly the map itself doesn't look anything like the participation maps. Secondly the country names look like they've just been plonked on at random (since when did Spain change its name to Morocco, and when did Ukraine give up its name and allow Moldova, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan share land ownership - are a few prime examples). I was wondering if it would be an idea to modernise that map with the style used on ESC by Year articles - by that I mean having it interactive so that if a viewer clicks on a country it directs them to 'Country' in ESC articles? If it's a big task, then I perfectly understand. Regards, Wesley   Mᴥuse  18:43, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:


 * Views/Day : Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
 * Quality : Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:


 * Content : Is more content needed?
 * Headings : Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
 * Images : Is the number of illustrative images about right?
 * Links : Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
 * Sources : For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 00:26, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Türkvizyon 2013
Hi AxG,

An editor contacted me at commons asking me to make a participation map for Türkvizyon 2013. However, I don't think it is going to be as simple as one may expect. The maps, as I know them, only highlight country borders, yet this contest is for Turkish speaking countries and regions. For example, Russia is participating, as are regions within Russia itself, Ukraine and its region Crimea, and finally Xinjiang (a region within China). Is this going to be easy or not? Wesley  Mᴥuse  04:41, 29 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Not sure if File:BlankMap-World-Subdivisions.svg will be any use. It may need cropping down into size to only show Eurasia, and Crimea is missing.   Wesley   Mᴥuse  04:52, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Help! I'm getting frustrated with my user page
AxG,

I know you're pretty damn hot when it comes to HTML codes etc. I've updated my user page, and no matter what I try I just can't get it to do what I want it to do. Now I feel like giving up on the bloody thing LOL. My left and right panels just won't go into the layout I am aiming for. What I've tried to do is get the following to happen:


 * Left panel
 * Welcome
 * Userboxes - with the collapse tables to be aligned horizontally not vertically.
 * Number of Wikipedia articles to date
 * Useful Links
 * Useful guidelines & policies
 * Messenger Services


 * Right panel
 * Work Management
 * New Articles that I've created
 * GA/FA articles I've contributed to

And then underneath both of those panels - Guidance and policies. Plus I don't know how I've done it, but the right panel is not in align with the left one. I mean, it's dropped down a bit, and when I open any collapse boxes from the current left panel version, it forces the right panel to push down. I know I'm being cheeky, and you're probably busy enough as it is. But I'm on the verge of chucking my laptop out the window, that's how bad it is getting. Any advice or tips would be a help, or if its easier to tweak it for me (oo-err) then feel free to do so. Wesley  Mᴥuse  20:02, 26 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey, Axg,
 * Just wanted to say thank you for sorting my userpage out. So glad you sorted the HTML code to realign everything neat.  It helped me to progress from there, anyway.  It was only afterwards that I realised I could have used the syntax for WP:ESC page, as that's in a similar style.  I blame myself for lack of sleep not to have figured it out sooner. What was that knobhead going on about on your talk page about ruling the internet?  Sounds like s/he's a picnic basket short of a picnic.  Someone call the loony asylum, they've lost a patient.  Haha.   Wesley   Mᴥuse  01:10, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

JESC 2013
AxG, The EBU actually awarded trophies to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. There is a source to verify this too, which is why we've highlighted those winners, as the EBU have changed the rules on awards. It's only right to show what the sources have said. Wes  Mᴥuse  20:53, 30 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Although I'm not sure if silver and bronze should be used. As the prizes awarded live were a pink trophy for 2nd place, and a blue one for 3rd place.  Do you think we should stick to those coloured trophies, or maintain the "logical" silver/bronze format?   Wes   Mᴥuse  20:56, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I completely forgot about the 2nd and 3rd getting "prizes" this time, which is why I did revert, in fact I did miss the whole contest. I really don't know, I preferably think just highlight the winner, the only thing that was changed is that they got trophies, they can have a mention, but winning is the ultimate prize, which Malta did. --  axg //  ✉  ]] ''' 23:03, 30 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for sorting this one out. The same editor also added the content to here plus trivial content.  Which I removed both and explained why.  But they only went and started to edit war over it.  I've issued a final warning in the hope they will take note and invited them to discuss at the article talk page.  It's up to you if you wish to add your input on this matter.  IMHO we cannot start to assume that Malta will host in 2014.  The EBU haven't even agreed to it yet.   Wes   Mᴥuse  00:55, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

File:Türkvizyon 2013 map.svg
Hi Axg,

There's two more "late-entering" participating countries for Turkvision. Kabardino-Balkaria and Romania. I'm not sure if this helps though, as it has all the countries that are legible to take part if they so desired. It would allow us to update the map correctly showing all the regions, even if some are yet to debut. Looking at that image, I can work out the following countries/regions that are not currently on our version of the map, Altai Krai, Belarus, Buryatia, Karachay-Cherkessia, Mongolia, Poland, Sakha Republic, Tuva. But there are 3 that I cannot figure out. Do you think with this information, that we have something to go on in order to correct the map? Wes    Mᴥuse   22:16, 2 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Ulrika! (sorry I meant Eureka!) List of Turkic dynasties and countries contains all of the countries.   Wes     Mᴥuse   22:21, 2 December 2013 (UTC)


 * One more country late in confirming participation - Yakutia in the Türkvizyon Song Contest (the country is also known as Sakha Republic, but for the purpose of Turkvision they appear to be using the Yakutia region which is Turkic origin. I could do with learning how to alter the lines in order to add new countries, then I wouldn't need to keep coming to you for help.  But knowing my luck, I'd probably mess up the map and geographically relocate a country, LOL.   Wes     Mᴥuse   05:48, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * These are the other countries who are able to participate, but have not said if they would in 2013 or not.


 * Karachay-Cherkessia
 * Karakalpakstan
 * Khakassia
 * Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic
 * 🇹🇯 Tajikistan
 * Tuva
 * 🇨🇳 Xunhua

Not sure if it worthwhile adding them to the map just in case they do express participation at the last minute. Wes    Mᴥuse   05:56, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I think with all these changes going on, then I think the map should be kept basic at the moment, hopefully when everything is set in stone, I will redo everything making necessary changes, including other non participants. --  axg //  ✉  ]] ''' 21:09, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
