Q1: I added content to the article which was properly sourced, but it was removed. Why?
A1: In order to ensure accuracy and professionalism, Wikipedia only accepts reliable sources as a means of verifiability in its articles. What is considered a reliable source is explained in the Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources guideline. Present consensus is that ESCToday is reliable, ESCKaz is semi-reliable, ESCTime is not reliable, and no consensus has been reached on Oikotimes and ESCDaily. Note that blogs and forum posts are almost never considered reliable. Both offline and non-English sources can be used, though for the latter only when English equivalents are not available. Q2: Why doesn't Wikipedia use the source that first published the information being verified?
A2: If more than one source is available, then the most reliable source usually takes precedence, even if it was not the first to release the information used in the article. Sourcing in Wikipedia articles is for verification, not for giving credit to organisations or individuals. The use of the most reliable source makes it clear to Wikipedia editors and readers that appropriate fact checking has taken place to ensure the information in the source is accurate. Q3: Why does this article refer to the Republic of Macedonia as Macedonia? Shouldn't this country be referred to as the F.Y.R. Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), as that is what the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) call it in the contest to avoid confusion with Greek Macedonia?
A3: Previously the practice on Eurovision Song Contest articles was to universally refer to the Republic of Macedonia as the F.Y.R. Macedonia, as this was the name the EBU used. However, this practice was overridden by wider community consensus established at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia). The current guideline establishes Macedonia as the general term for the county throughout Wikipedia, even if the article is about an international organisation which uses a different naming practice e.g. the Eurovision Song Contest. In Eurovision Song Contest articles the inclusion of the flag for the Republic of Macedonia and the context of Macedonia being listed with other countries makes the risk of confusion low. However, the term F.Y.R. Macedonia, as it is used in the contest, may still be reported once in individual Eurovision Song Contest articles as necessary.

The final voting order
Anyone knows when NDR/EBU will realise the voting order in the final? It is extremely surprising that they have not revealed it yet. /Hollac16 (talk) 19:41, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
The running order for the final will be released following first semi-final with its finalists and then rest 10 spots will be released after second semi-final. To my knowledge(plz, change info if I am wrong)the spots will be given from total points of performance which been collected during the semi-final joining of juries and televoting votes. Since those results and names of singers who will qualify to final could not be find out before semis, the results are not released. Same procedure has been done last year and previous year.

Which countries are not participating?
There is a map showing which countries are not participating this year, however, there is no text saying which ones they are, so I don't think everyone knows all the countries in this part of the world by heart. Why isn't there a mention on them? Dollvalley (talk) 09:59, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- This article is only about the 2011 Contest. If there are sources about proposed participation by a country specific to this year which didn't go ahead, then it probably should be mentioned. General lists of countries which are not participating were included in the year articles in the past, however they were discontinued must because they were repetitive (e.g. Vatican City had to be re-listed every year), and there were difficulties and controversies (e.g. Kosovo) in determining which countries should be included. List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest, which contains multiple lists on the issue, and Template:Eurovision countries, which lists all current and past participants, is more appropriate for such content. CT Cooper · talk 12:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Well I think it's such a small list that it doesn't hurt anyone and avoids going to look for it elsewhere. If it's on the main ESC page, I didn't find it, and honestly it's annoying having to go look for it in such lenghty articles, that's why it should be included and it's not the same every time. Morover,they are clearly stated in the map in a different color, having a legend is only logical. Also, Kosovo? They never participated. We don't care about countries that have never been part of the show. Dollvalley (talk) 22:07, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest is of a sensible length and within the Wikipedia:Article size guidelines, so I see no issue there. Mass duplicating content in many articles when it is well covered in one, List of countries in the Eurovision Song Contest, wastes editors time and Wikipedia's resources. To be fundamental about it, this article is supposed be a general introduction to the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest, primarily of prose (not lists), based on information given from sources specifically about the 2011 Contest. Within this spirit of this, countries which did participate are obviously included because they are discussed by sources for the 2011 Contest. Furthermore, as I said earlier countries which did not participate but there was significant coverage of them from sources for the 2011 Contest can be discussed in prose. This is an objective, and hence neutral, determination of what and should not be included in the article. A non-participants lists would have to subjective criteria on what is included (who's "we"?), and would often require use of multiple sources to determine a country's eligibility many of which would be non-specific to the 2011 Contest, which would arguably overly drift from the purpose of the article. The compatibility of such a list with the Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policies could arguably be questioned as well, given that the list would be based on editor's research and opinions on who the "non-participants" are, rather than a straight reporting of what sources say.

There is no MACEDONIA country!! It is called FYROM.. also no Macedonian language! Macedonia is a part of Greece

Broadcasting section
I don't think this section is necessary at all. Isn't it obvious that the broadcaster for each country will be the one broadcasting the event? On the pages for past years, this section was to describe which countries could view the contest though they were not participating. Grk1011 (talk) 21:17, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yes it's necessary. Not every country broadcasts the event, and guess what, every country usually has more than one channel/broadcaster, and some broadcasters are not even part of the EBU. You should then say the same for the commentators and spokespersons, who cares about those? Or which broadcasters did so in High Definition? Why remove it, it's very helpful.Dollvalley (talk) 22:09, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- If you look back at present and past discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision, you will find that Grk1011 has said similar things about commentators and spokespersons. The argument that content should be kept because it is "helpful" or "useful" is not a strong one on Wikipedia as many things which are not appropriate for an encyclopaedia may considered "helpful" or "useful" by editors and readers - see WP:ITSUSEFUL. Content should be kept based on whether it is appropriate for an encyclopaedic article, and do have some sympathy for the case that they are not, at least in their present form. Firstly, many of these entries are unsourced, which is a violation of the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy, and in the case on content of living people, a violation of the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy. Secondly, they are full of abbreviations of broadcasters which a general audience (which is what the article is supposed to be aimed at) will find difficult to understand, particularly when no link is provided, and is essentially "Eurovision jargon". WP:MOSABBR says that abbreviations should be specified in full on first use, which I have tried to enforce on this article in the past but given up with for the moment given the sheer number of abbreviations. To be fair these issue are fixable, but I do wonder if commentators and spokespersons should be given their own separate list article for each year, and a case could also be made for one central list article for broadcasters. CT Cooper · talk 23:02, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Well, most entries are sourced. I actually asked HERE how you create references for the two i added because I don't know how to, and nobody replied. Also, if you have a look at most tv shows, they have sections showing what channels across the world broadcast them. I've never seen any complaints against them. There are only 7 entries that are not sourced, so it's not that many, and two of them are mine, and if you tell me how to, I can source them. Most entries have links to wiki pages of those broadcasters (only four of them are abbreviations with no links, that's not a lot or many as you say). Isn't that the correct way? Also, it should be taken into consideration that you cannot find everything on the internet. Some sourcing cannot be done elecronically. Also, for example, I can find the links to a tv program, but it will be useless a month's time because the sites do not keep old tv programs online. So if in one month's time the link is useless, does it mean the mention in the article has to be removed? If so, wikipedia would be empty. And what does the biography of living or dead people have to do in this matter? I don't understand. Dollvalley (talk) 23:11, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

CT Cooper · talk 23:02, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- WP:CITE and WP:CITET provide details on how to source content. This page can get a lot of traffic and only a few editors actually monitor the talk page, so some comments will be missed. Please note that this talk page is primarily for discussing improvements to the article, not asking for help on using Wikipedia, please see the Wikipedia:Help desk for that, which is much better monitored. No, just linking abbreviations is not the correct way, as WP:MOSABBR makes clear. Explaining the link in text rather than forcing the reader to switch page is a good idea, even if there have been no complaints (though I know they have been - mostly because I myself have complained about it in the past). Sources do not have to be online - please read fully Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources which goes into detail on the purpose of sources and what can be sourced. Sources can be from books, newspapers, TV, films and many other media. Dead links are an issue on Wikipedia, but still resolvable - see WP:DEADLINK. CT Cooper · talk 23:35, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- To answer the two questions you added from your original post. I didn't give a number of abbreviations, and I said "they are full of abbreviations of broadcasters", not "they are full of abbreviations of broadcasters without links". I referenced the Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons (WP:BLP) policy because the commentators and spokespersons sections, which were mentioned, concern living people. Such content is highly sensitive on Wikipedia and it is especially important that such content is sourced, as the WP:BLP policy explains. CT Cooper · talk 23:35, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Winning song of previous year prominently in opener
I don't understand why the opening paragraph of every year's article should feature the last winner so prominently. The song has pretty much no importance during the show even though it's the reason the show is in that country. More emphasis should be put on the winning song of that year. Also, wasn't the winner simply billed as Lena? Why is her full name used everywhere on this article? Dollvalley (talk) 23:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
- About the latter question: it is somewhat difficult to ascertain the "correct" name. While she competed twice in the ESC simply under the moniker "Lena", in Germany she is just as well known under the full name "Lena Meyer-Landrut". Since the records are also published under only "Lena", though, it may be correct to reduce the name in this article. --Ulkomaalainen (talk) 11:28, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

More Results
I'm working on the results by country, using the same format from the 2010 page, in my userspace. Please let me do the table work (I'll be copying it straight into this article when I'm done for whoever wishes to work on it for enhancements), but you may comment either in the comments section there (please use a section edit instead of a full page edit, it prevents edit conflicts) or simply on my talk page. I may call it quits before I finish as it's getting late here, in which case I'll finish in the morning my time. Note that the "countries giving 12 points" will not be touched until I finish the chart, then I'll use the chart as a reference and bold the 12 points entries in the chart at that time (while working on inputting the results it's easier if I don't bold them right now). The letters are my own tool to help me edit easily; for my purpose, I know I'm on country O (15th one voting) as I type, and so on. I have to add a few columns to reach 43 countries, I'll get to that. CycloneGU (talk) 05:42, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Finals Added
That was a lot of work, but it's done. =) One comment, however. In music tables, when a cell would be blank or empty, we use a long hyphen "—" in that cell (see for example Kenny Rogers discography or Britney Spears discography for applications of this). I've done the same for the finals here, as well as including an X where a country's voting column crosses its' participants. What are others' thoughts of copying this into the SF tables as well? I thought this was reasonable; it certainly helped me while working on the table, as 43 countries is a lot to work through! =) CycloneGU (talk) 17:11, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for your diligent work! I however, for one, don't think the hyphens and X's are necessary at all. Compared to the final scoreboards in articles about previous years' contests, the added symbols make the table a lot more confusing and unclear. In cells where no points were given, I'd just say we should leave them blank. Off-the-air (talk) 22:45, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

- Point made and I'll accept that. However, I have issues with the rearrangement of the horizontal layout. I think it really should be, for this and previous years, in the order the votes were presented on the telecast. Also, someone in the edit history noted an error in the table; there were no errors in my version of the table, so I feel that someone literally just copied over my twice-checked and fully accurate work using the format they preferred.

Jury Spokepersons?
Why is section with spokepersons called "Jury Spokepersons"? They have nothing to do with jury, they annouce final results.--89.173.20.32 (talk) 08:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Split Jury/Televote
When will EBU release the split jury and televotes??? CoolAbc (talk) 11:00, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- They don't (see scoreboards for information) --MSalmon (talk) 14:07, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
- They do, in 2009 the split results were released 2½ months after the final, with last years released a whole month after the final. -- [[ axg ◉ talk ]] 18:08, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Sweden
Sweden gave 7 points to Finland in Final. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.223.140.48 (talk) 04:03, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
Numbers in Finals table are incorrect
Just checked the row and column sums, which indicate that there are errors. Sweden column is missing 7 and 8. Estonia column has two 8's. Greece column has two 7's. Serbia column has two 7's. Netherlands has no 4 but two 5's. Macedonia column is missing 8.
Denamrk total is 7 more than the value in the "Total Score" column. Romania total is 1 more than the value in the "Total Score" column. Serbia total is 8 less than the value in the "Total Score" column.
I haven't checked the other tables.
- Ok, it should be all ok now, I have checked what you have given and updated as necessary --MSalmon (talk) 18:24, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
