Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision
I have started a Request for comment on this topic at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision. This discussion originates from questions on the reliability of the ESCKaz website and if it should be used in Eurovision articles on Wikipedia. It has now being extended to fully review all sources used in articles covered by WikiProject Eurovision, including ESCToday and Oikotimes. This is a very important issue to the project as sourcing is a key part of articles, and consensus needs to be reached on which sources should be used when, where and how. This discussion however has so far lacked a wide range of editor participation, and as you have listed yourself as a member of WikiProject Eurovision I invite you to add your thoughts. In particular more input is needed from editors which have a high level of experience with relevant guidelines/policies such as Reliable sources and Verifiability, and who have up until now stayed outside this debate, though all contributions are welcome. Thank you. Camaron | Chris (talk) 11:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Editprotected requests
Hi Chris, The next time you use Editprotected to make a request like you did at Wikipedia talk:General disclaimer, omit the "tl|" part and just type "" (without the quotes). The tl text tells the software to make a link to the template; removing the tl text will make the template work as intended, and your request will be placed in Category:Wikipedia protected edit requests, for other admins to review. I only found your request because I have all the Wikipedia disclaimers on my watchlist, mostly to catch interwiki requests. Graham 87 23:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

RfC on reliable sources for Eurovision articles
A second RfC has been started on sourcing for Eurovision articles, you can view it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision. This RfC is critical as it will help determine how current and future Eurovision articles are sourced, and as much participation as possible is needed for a consensus to develop. You are being notified as you are listed as an active user of WikiProject Eurovision, and hence the results of this RfC could have a large impact on the articles you edit.

International goals
Hi there CHRIS, VASCO from Portugal here,

Regarding Hipólito Rincón's edits you made/reverted, i certainly do not doubt your best intentions, but you are not correct, he did score four against Malta in that historic match.

I retrieved this REF for you that proves it, even though it's in Spanish, it's fairly easy to "decipher", just paying attention to the bottom column (minutes and goal scorers). Here it is (http://futbol.sportec.es/seleccion/ficha_partido.asp?c=38&nj=21&par=ESPMLT).

Have a nice week, keep up the good work,

VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 19:48, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I changed the statistics according to rsssf.com page for the Euro '84 qualifiers. It says that the scorers for Spain during Spain's 12–1 win over Malta were Santillana (15', 26', 28', 75'), Rincon Povedano (46', 55', 63'), Maceda Frances (60', 62'), Gordillo Vazquez (77'), Sarabia Lopez (79') and Señor Gomez (88'). This is as of rsssf.com, but seeing a video of the goals of this match it seems that Rincon scored four. So your version is good. Sorry for the disruption.

Straw poll on reliable sources for Eurovision articles
The second RfC on sourcing for Eurovision articles has now being running for several weeks, you can view it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision. In order to help gauge the spread of opinion and draw conclusions from this discussion a straw poll has been started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision. All project members are encouraged to read the RfC thoroughly and then cast their votes as they see fit. Rationales are still encouraged in the main discussion area above the poll, and participants can add appropriate new sources or options to the poll as they wish.

Translation
Thanks for answering. Matheusian comes from portuguese "Matheus", that means Matthew in english. So, it is relative to "Matheus". Constructed language is a language created by someone rather than developed throught the time by a people. Like esperanto :) Althistory... well, that one, I think it doesn't need to be translated, because is the name of the other website. If you need more information, don't hesitate to question me.

Quinqueliteral (5-letter) roots in Maltese
Hi Chrisportelli! Could you maybe help me out: I would like to know if the Maltese language exhibits any roots with five or more consonants – also if they only exist only in slang. If it does, are these roots inflected as verbs, as nouns, as adjectives etc.? Are these inflections problematic? How does the National Council for the Maltese Language address these roots? How do speakers of Maltese regard these roots? Any information (and many examples!) would be greatly appreciated! Please write me here on my talk page. Thanks very much, Dan ☺ 13:06, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Pronounciation of Mdina

Translation request
Dear Chrisportelli, I would like you to translate this short Italian text:

''Il 16 aprile 1913, l'aviatore triestino Gianni Widmer effettuò il primo volo sul cielo di San Marino. Con il suo Blèriot XI da 50 cavalli, partito dal piano della Sartòna, a Rimini, pur con vento contrario toccò quota 1.600 metri prima di atterrare dopo undici minuti di volo sul pianoro del Monte Carlo (508 m) nel territorio di Fiorentino.''

''Un cippo eretto sul pianoro dove avvenne l'atterraggio ricorda l'impresa di Widmer, insignito dalla Repubblica di San Marino della medaglia d'oro di prima classe al merito civile. Il monumento fu realizzato dallo scultore Carlo Reffi, mentre l'epigrafe venne scritta da Pietro Franciosi. In ordine di tempo fu il secondo cippo innalzato nel mondo ad un aviatore, il primo essendo quello scoperto sempre nel 1913, a Parigi, in onore di Alberto Santos Dumont.''
