Your revert on Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest
MOS:DUPLINK says "Duplicate linking in stand-alone and embedded lists is permissible if it significantly aids the reader. This is most often the case when the list is presenting information that could just as aptly be formatted in a table, and is expected to be parsed for particular bits of data, not read from top to bottom. If the list is normal article prose that happens to be formatted as a list, treat it as normal article prose." this suggests that in a table, it is reasonable to link each occurrence. On my screen, the first occurrence of Natalie Barbu (where the link was) can't appear on screen at the same time as the 2024 line. I think its reasonable to provide that help to readers.

 * Ok I understand your point here. We have a longstanding convention at WikiProject Eurovision to link only the first instance of any given artist within tables where there are duplicates. In some cases artists have performed in consecutive contests, and duplicating the links in these rows would make very little sense given they are right beside each other. I'm not sure that "significantly aids the reader" is being fulfilled here by adding duplicate links, given that these tables are generally not too big (at least compared to other tables on other articles across Wikipedia) and any repeat links are typically close together. Applying this rule consistently, and adding in all duplicate links to all other country article, I just don't see how, for example, having three linked Lys Assias in a row within Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest is particularly useful for the reader. This would be my concern if we were to start adding in duplicate links within one table, we would then have to consistently apply it across all our articles.

hi i don't understand why did you revert my edit Eurovizijafan (talk) 19:51, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You did not include a source, and although you mentioned Eurovision World in your edit summary, you did not include a link to where the information is listed. When you add information to Wikipedia it's your responsibility to ensure that it is verifiable by other editors, which is done by adding reliable sources alongside your edits. Any material which has been added and that cannot be verified by a reliable source is subject to removal. Additionally, Eurovision World is not considered a reliable source for use within Wikipedia as the source of the information within its database is not listed, therefore it falls under the definition of a self-published source that contains user-generated content. Eurovision World lists Sweden as a participant in 2025, even though SVT has not released a statement on 2025 participation and no other Eurovision news sites have published material on a Swedish participation in 2025. For this reason Eurovision World cannot be considered a reliable source for this matter. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 20:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

German Junior Eurovision broadcaster's name
Hello, given you're a fellow editor engaging in Eurovision-related subjects here and also seem to have far more knowledge on Wikipedia's naming conventions than I do, would you mind verifying or refuting my thoughts? The German Junior Eurovision broadcaster's page is currently named KiKA; it was rather recently (in April) moved from KiKa, which is the abbreviation used by the EBU. However, I believe a name more fitting than both of these would be something along the lines of Kika (television channel), with no capitalisation (such page already exists as a redirect). KiKA is not an initialism, the article states it stands for Der Kinderkanal von ARD/ZDF, which I believe makes it a stylistic choice. This, although worthy to mention in the article, should not be its name, if i understand correctly. Furthermore, the station's name has changed from KI.KA to KiKa to KiKA, meaning there is no consistent spelling method, which I believe further justifies the move I've proposed. I would really appreciate if you presented me with your thoughts on this before I potentially try to take action. Thanks in advance. Agwjkl (talk) 11:45, 20 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reaching out! I would be in agreement with you that I think the capitalisation applied to the title here is an unnecessary stylisation, and per MOS:TMRULES the best approach to this article title would be to show it in sentence case. MOS:CAMELCASE would have possibly have applied in the previous article title, or if the A was in lower case within the logo, however given the current stylistic choice and the name changes over time, the simplest method of approaching the title of this article would be as you suggested. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 14:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for responding and providing some argumentation! Not exactly sure how to approach this now but guess I'll just insert Template:Requested move and hope it's noticed, since a name change for this article has been discussed multiple times before I don't think just straight up moving it would be a good idea. Have a great (remainder of the) day. Agwjkl (talk) 15:45, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Capitalization
L'Amour de ma vie is tagged as a miscapitalized redirect to L'Amour de Ma Vie. If that's not right, as your reverts say, could you work on fixing the article name and redirects? Is there a discussion about this that you know of? Maybe it being a song by an American is relevant even if the title seems to be French? Dicklyon (talk) 14:16, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Oh, never mind, I see those were both links to the wrong song, and you fixed them all subsequently to the correctly disambiguated song. Dicklyon (talk) 14:20, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

Enisa
Eurovoix states in the source I used that "It is well known that Montenegro’s to-be Eurovision 2023 entrant was Enisa Nikaj, who now has recently revealed...", I don't think that's a SELFPUB issue anymore — IмSтevan  talk 12:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I would say it is, because there's nothing within the source to say that they're privy to new information. While I would generally say that Eurovoix is a reliable secondary source, I still think that they're relying on the Tweet from Enisa, which is not sufficient and a clear SELFPUB violation. It's also wholly irrelevant anyway because RTCG either had no intention of participating or pulled the plug on its participation before the cut-off for entry, and since there was no official nomination by the broadcaster they very well could have changed their mind even if they were having conversations with Enisa, as has happened before and since (e.g. Azerbaijan 2024, when neither of the two "shortlisted" songs were even chosen).
