Getting Wikimedians to the Olympic Games
editHi. I am part of an effort to get Wikimedians access to the 2016 Summer Olympics as accredited reporters and photographers. Part of this effort includes covering the 2012 Summer Paralympics. Two Wikimedians have credentials to attend these games as reporters through Wikimedia Australia. As English Wikipedia does not allow original reporting, this is largely through Wikinews with a project page found at Wikinews:Paralympic Games. If you are interested in helping to get Wikimedians to the next Summer Olympics,I'd encourage you to assist with Wikinews efforts, and also to work on all language 2012 Summer Paralympic Wikipedia articles before, during and after the Games to demonstrate a track record of success. Thank you. --LauraHale (talk) 05:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome! Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Wikipedia articles, and welcome our new members to the project. Remember that this project can only operate if we act in a cooperative manner and engage in discussions regarding article matters. It is seen as best practice to put forward ideas to other members of the project before rushing ahead and acting on a potential falsifying action. If you feel an article may warrant a deletion, why not test the waters by opening a discussion on the article's talk page or our very own project talk page - before rushing off and submitting an AfD. It saves wasting time nominating an article for deletion which could end up with an overwhelming "keep" by other editors. Communicating with each other is a vital tool and a skill that may prove advantageous in real-life scenarios. Also be on the look out for potential new members to the project. Post {{subst:EurovisionInvite}} (which will produced this template) on any user page you think is interested to join the WikiProject, to officially invite them to join.

Lithuanian National Radio and Television
editYou commented your revision: We don't use programs to mean that, it's a Radio station /TV station or TV channel. A program is what is made that people watch. I have questions:
- We - who?
- What's your reference to the claim that "We don't use programs to mean that"?
My usage of the word "Programme" is based on:
- Wikipedia's definition of "Radio station".
- Oxford distionary's of current English (1973) definition of "Station" as "place, building, etc. in which somebody or something is, or is placed".
- Oxford distionary's definition of "Program(me)" as "list of items, events, etc. (e.g. for a concert, or to be broadcast for radio or television, or for a sports meeting)".
- World Radio TV Handbook's usage of the word "Programme" for the purpose I used it.
Please reply here. Please, also, in future follow the procedure described in Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. Thank you. - JohnnyWiki (talk) 01:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) - The term "we" may be referring to the "wikipedia we", or more commonly known as the "Majestic plural". And I have to agree with AxG's a programme is what people watch. A TV station/Radio station would be the correct terminology. And I think you may have misinterpreted the definitions of "programme" from the Oxford English Dictionary. English is a very complexed language, as we have words that hold so many definitions, as well as words that are spelt differently but sound the same (for example: were, where, and wear). If you look at this online dictionary the sixth definition for "station" reads "An establishment equipped for radio or television transmission." Also the third definition as shown on the Oxford online dictionary states "a company involved in broadcasting of a specified kind: a radio station". Like you rightfully pointed out, a station is a building. But its a building where a specified activity or service is held. So in this case, radio and television are the activities based in a "station". Hope this helps to clear up any confusion. Wesley Mouse 01:25, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- So why here the same things are called "services" and not "stations"? - JohnnyWiki (talk) 01:45, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- From the online dictionaries I see that "station" is either a company or an establishment. None of these apply to my case. Again, in LBC#Current services: is LBC 97.3 a company or an establishment? Is LBC News 1152 a company or an establishment? - JohnnyWiki (talk) 01:53, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) That's the complexity of the English language I'm afraid. Thankfully I know a friend who works at LBC so should be able to answer this one better. LBC Radio is a company name, which has two radio stations LBC 97.3 and LBC News 1152. If you check both of those articles they refer to them as stations. But for the sake of the parent article LBC, we (as in Wikipedians) may list them as services belonging to a company, but we could also list them as "stations" too. And again, you appear to be getting the definitions mixed up here. I've studied Lexicography, a station is a building where a specified activity or service is held. For the sake of the article you are relating to, Lithuanian National Radio and Television is a company that comprises of a radio and television network. The specified building they are based within is called a "station". In English we commonly refer to such companies as "radio or TV stations". A programme (as stated by Oxford English Dictionary)is an item broadcast between stated times on radio or television. Wesley Mouse 01:59, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've just corrected the LBC article as the section header "Current services" is a little vague and ambiguous. Stations would be the correct header for that particular section as it contains the names of the two radio stations owned by LBC. Wesley Mouse 02:04, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Also, company/establishment mean the same thing in English. A company is a commercial business; an establishment is a business organization. Notice the common definition between both of those words - they are businesses. Wesley Mouse 02:08, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- I see you put emphasis on "building" while I'd like to understand the "company" part. Oxford English Dictionary says that station is a company, based on this please explain whether LBC 97.3 and LBC News 1152 are separate companies with LBC as parent company? - JohnnyWiki (talk) 08:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Please note that in my case LRT Radijas, LRT Klasika and LRT Opus are not companies, nor are they located in different buildings. - JohnnyWiki (talk) 08:51, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- I'm starting to have concerns here, as you have on your user page that you hold a near native knowledge of the English language. Yet you are showing signs here that you clearly are not understanding that some words in the English language hold so many definitions and meanings. This is also more evident in the fact that you also asked on my talk page why I have listed Isle of Man as being part of the United Kingdom. Considering I was born in the United Kingdom, and of British nationality, plus the fact I have lived in the UK for 32 of my 33 years - I think I have an outstanding knowledge of the British Georgraphy and English language.
- I use the emphasis to make specific words (the words to which you question) stand out more. It is better then to bold or underline them. As I have previously explained to you, a company/establishment are the same thing. They are words relating to a business. Even though both of the online dictionaries use either company or establishment in their definitions, they are basically stating that they are businesses. You used LBC as an example - LBC is the overall business name, which makes them also a company/establishment. However, LBC also have two radio stations/channels. Even though they are based in the same building, it makes both of those radio channels 'stations'. Take for example the BBC. BBC is the overall company, which has smaller departments within them, such as BBC 1; BBC 2; BBC 3; BBC Radio 1; BBC Radio 2 etc. Each of those are BBC Stations, which are part of the BBC corporation. ITV is another example, they have ITV 1, ITV 2, then there are ITV Granada, ITV Wales etc. ITV is the larger corporation which consists of smaller broadcasting departments and regional departments.
- Now in your case you mention LRT Radijas, LRT Klasika and LRT Opus. Nobody has said they are different companies, nor has anyone stipulated they are located in different buildings. The fact of the matter is LRT is the larger business (also known as the parent business) which comprises of smaller departments (more commonly known as stations). LRT Radijas, LRT Klasika and LRT Opus are stations which belong to LRT. Wesley Mouse 11:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help Wes, however yet again the user has changed 'Stations' to 'Programme services', and quite frankly don't understand it. LRT Televizija is a television channel/station, with LRT Radijas a radio station. -- [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 13:10, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
You're welcome AxG. I am quite concerned though as the user has stated they have a near-native understanding of the English language. If that be the case then someone with near-native skills wouldn't need to be asking for clarification on word definitions. He has quoted definitions from a dictionary dated 1973. We're now 39 years on from that, and the Oxford English Dictionary has been updated every year since with new definitions, new words etc. There is clearly confusing and a lack of understand of the English language and its complexity of definitions, that I personally starting to get frustrated with it all. And not only that, but to also check my own user space and then question me as to why I have listed Isle of Man as being United Kingdom. What has that got to do with the user? I'm British, and yet my nationalistic knowledge is being questioned by a user who isn't even British. Wesley Mouse 15:11, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
I have just looked up the word station on Wikipedia's very own dictionary site, Wiktionary. They too have station definitions that mention buildings or stopping places (such as bus station, railway station). And then definitions 10 and 111 both explicitly state "a place used for broadcasting" (for example, I used to work at a radio station) and "a broadcasting entity" (for example, I used to listen to that radio station). Wesley Mouse 15:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- My reliable sources are World Radio TV Handbook and UK Broadcasting Act (Section 46(1) defines it as "programme service", btw). What are yours, apart from Wiktionary's "station"? - JohnnyWiki (talk) 19:16, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- I can't believe you're asking for sources, on something that is common knowledge as this‽ Some questions for you to answer; 'What would you call BBC Radio 1, or RTÉ Radio One or CBC Radio 1?' -- [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 22:04, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
- Well Johnny's choice of "reliable sources" says it all really. One of them is a booklet of TV listings covering all TV/Radio channels around the world. The other is a British Act of Law which sets legal guidelines for TV/Radio Stations in regards to programme broadcasting. This user is getting sources completely confused and this is worrying and boardline disruptiveness too. He also used a definition from a dictionary that is almost 39 years out of date. We're in 2012, not 1973 - so use the definition in the modern Oxford English Dictionary please. Oh hang on, I actually provided the definition for the words using the modern Oxford Dictionary!!! I also provided definitions from other dictionaries which all stated the same thing as the Oxford one. And then I provide the link to Wikitionary for the same words - and to no surprise that too collaborates the same definitions as the previous two. And then there are the two WikiProjects for Radio and Television - they too define them as Radio/TV stations. Now what part can we not understand here? Wesley Mouse 11:09, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Even other articles on Wikipedia refer to a Radio/Television network as stations.
- Radio broadcasting - This article mentions the term 'radio station' a multitude of times, and provides a clear definition of what a 'radio station' is.
- Television station - Oh look this article also states "a television station is a business, organisation or other enterprise, such as an amateur television (ATV) operator, that transmits (broadcasts) content over terrestrial television".
- Television network - This too states "A television network is a telecommunications network for distribution of television program content, whereby a central operation provides programming to many television stations or pay TV providers". Notice it mentions a TV station provide programme content. When a programme is aired to the general public via a TV screen that TV network/station is providing a service - which is what the Broadcasting Act 1990 means by License programme services. A television network is required by law to license any content they wish to produce in order for it to be legally transmitted.
- The Broadcasting Act 1990, replaced the Television Act 1954. Prior to the 1990 Act, the United Kingdom only had four television networks, BBC One, BBC Two, ITV, and Channel 4, and the law prevented a fifth television network being transmitted. When the new Broadcasting Act came into legislation it meant the old law was relaxed and that a fifth channel could be created - shortly after Channel 5 begin to transmit programmes on its new station.

ABU TV Song Festivals 2012
editAxG,
Remember when you fixed the logo for the ABU Radio Song Festivals 2012? Well the logo for the TV Festival is now available. Any chance you could sort this one out for me too, when you get a spare moment. I'm thinking of adding it into the main article itself, rather than in the infobox as the Radio Contest logo is in there. Or we could use the main ABU Seoul 2012 logo for the infobox, and then thumbnail the Radio and TV logos into the main article for the respective festivals. Wesley♦Mouse 21:23, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
You're a star! Thank you. Wesley♦Mouse 21:54, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry to be a pain in the rear-end. Cooper has directed me this way regarding new participations maps for the ABU contests. The page in its current format is starting to become complexed, and there's more details being published that may cause it to become incomprehensible to even the biggest of fans. So we're looking into splitting the article into ABU Radio and ABU TV. But was wondering if you'd be able to set up a participation map for the Asia-Pacific region? The original one I found doesn't have Vanuatu or Fiji showing on it, so it could be a case of making a new one. Thank you in advance. Wesley♦Mouse 15:07, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for doing that for me AxG, much appreciated. We have a problem though, 1) for some reason when I add the maps to the article infoboxes nothing happens. 2) The move for TV map has gone a bit tits-up and been moved to the file name which contained the TV logo, and thus the map has vanished.

You may add it back if you think that 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).

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Text Santa.png
editA tag has been placed on File:Text Santa.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Infobox Eurovision
editHi AxG,
I've popped over to ask for some advice please in regards to Template:Infobox Eurovision, which I know you are very familiar with. Sang'gre Habagat (talk · contribs) has recently twice removed the "frameless" tagline from , stating that "1) they were unnecessary as frameless is the default, and 2) they were formatted wrong in the first place, so this edit makes no functional changes.".
I have posted on his talk page to refrain from making alterations without discussing it with the project first. Its not the first time that such edits have been made, and I'm now at the stage of feeling as though they are disruptive and uncooperative. Any advice on what I should do next, other than drag it to the project talk page? Wesley♦Mouse 19:41, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

editThanks for uploading File:Walkerslogo.png. 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 that will be useful.

File source problem with File:BNT1 logo.svg
editThank you for uploading File:BNT1 logo.svg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Looking for help to review new article
editHi AxG, I hope you don't mind me asking here but I saw that you're a member of WikiProject Websites and wanted to ask if you'd be available to review a draft article on a related topic? I've written a draft article for Rally.org, the online fundraising platform, on the company's behalf and would like to have editors review it to make sure it is neutral and meets Wikipedia's guidelines.
If you wouldn't mind helping, the draft is in my user space here: User:16912_Rhiannon/Rally.org Please leave any comments on the Talk page and make any edits in the draft as necessary. If you think it's ready to go live, feel free to move it into live article space. I won't move it myself as I follow the "bright line" rule of COI editing (no edits to live articles). Let me know if you have any questions at all. Thanks, 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 14:53, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

- No that is correct, it's just that the section would be littered with standard channels, followed by their HD simulcasts making it longer than necessary. I'll open this up to the ESC 2013 talk page. --[[ axg ◉ talk ]] 16:48, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

editHi AxG, I could do with a helping hand in trying to explain to someone about proper nouns/proper names in regards to the Eurovision Song Contest, and why we capitalise the C in Contest when we merely mention "contest" on its own. I'm trying my best to explain it, but I feel I may be confusing the user with my complexity explanation. The thread is User talk:Puisque#Proper nouns. Thanks. Wesley♦Mouse 22:17, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:2018 Winter Olympics logo.svg)
editThanks for uploading File:2018 Winter Olympics logo.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.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
editWe 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
editWe 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) 23:29, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

OGAE related articles
editHi AxG,
Quick question if I may. I've took it upon myself to do some major improvements to all the OGAE-related articles. Already the main OGAE one is completed, but the infobox looks as if it is missing something (can't quite put my finger on what). As I know that you're an expert on those pesky things, I was wondering if I should be using the "organisation" infobox on that article or would it be better to create one similar to the Infobox Eurovision and store the template on the project page? Plus, I'm going to start re-writing the other OGAE articles including the Second Chance Contest ones. Do you think a participation map for each of the contests would be a good idea? IF so, should we stylise them like we have for the Eurovision maps. And I'm also considering if we should include Second Chance information on the respective [Country] in the Eurovision Song Contest [year] articles too. I value your views on these matters. Regards, Wesley♦Mouse 14:25, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
- Well I'm no expert in the OGAE side of Eurovision, the OGAE article is looking great, I think {{Infobox organisation}} works well and matches the EBU one, it does have a field for a map though. The Second Chance contests can use the same style of maps used for the ESC for consistency. As for the inclusion of the Second Chance information, I have no problem with this. --[[ axg ◉ talk ]] 15:54, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Templates for ABU Festivals
editSorry to bother you AxG,
I've been trying to figure out how to make {{Esc}} and {{ESCYr}} style templates specifically for ABU Song Festivals, but I'm getting baffled at the complexity of them. What I thought may be simple seems to be more difficult than I anticipated. So I was wondering, when you get a spare moment, if you would be able to teach me the complex syntax for these, or maybe create them on my behalf. The templates could do with being adaptable for Radio and TV Festivals, now that those contests seem to be a regular thing. Thanks AxG, Wesley♦Mouse 18:07, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- Regarding names, probably something along the same lines as ESC and ESCYr. Which would be ABU, and instead of j=Junior (as in ESC ones), maybe have r=Radio (for ABU Radio) and t-TV (for ABU TV). Wesley♦Mouse 22:02, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
