'''Bienvenue! Willkommen! Welcome!'''


<span style="font-size:140%;">'''{{Misplaced Pages:Articles for improvement/2025/4/1}}'''</span>
Please be warm-hearted in encouraging everyone to do their best to contribute to all Eurovision-related Misplaced Pages articles, and welcome our new members to the project.


Please be bold and help improve it!
The past month has been an eventful one for the project as a whole. Old dramas have closed, new ones have begun. Four articles nominated for GA review, three of them passed and promoted, with one of them making ProjectEurovision history by being the first annual contest article to ever achieve GA status. If it wasn't for the hard work and the many hours of team collaborations that we have endured on this project, then those accolades would never have been gained. Each of those article promotions are as a result of your continuous determination to be part of the best team this project has seen for a long time. There is a teamwork barnstar with this newsletter for you to cherish and you may display the award on your pages if you wish. Now we look to the months ahead and start preparations for Malmo 2013, and see if we can work to getting another annual article to GA status. Here's to you - the team of excellence.

* If you would like something to appear in the September 2012 Edition of the newsletter, then please inform us at the ''']'''.
* If there is an article you think we should have? Request it ''']'''.
* '''And finally...''' a massive thank you to all members of the project for your constant hard work on collaborating and contributing to ] related articles. Keep up the good work team!

Happy editing!</font>

== Tia Sharp ==

I can't help thinking it's a bit early to start something like this as she only disappeared a few days ago. Having said that, there is a lot of press coverage, and there's a substantial offer for information from one national newspaper so maybe it reaches the guidelines. Also I notice another editor added criticism of the BBC's coverage of this case. If that gets picked up by the media then that may also make it further notable. IMHO I think it is bad that the BBC has chosen to run the Olympics as its main headlines while sidelining everything else that's going on in the world, but I guess that's slightly off-topic. And ultimately, one can only hope she is found safe and well, and we've no need to expand this. ] (]) 11:14, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
