 Project News
Wikinews has started a series of interviews with noteworthy past Eurovision contestants, which will be published through May. So far  of our project has interviewed 1982 winner Nicole, 1973 winner Anne Marie David, two-time entrant Edsilia Rombley, and soon to be three-time entrant Chiara Siracusa.
 The backlog of assessments in the project is still ongoing, with a large number of articles not being rated. If you see articles without the  template on the article's talk page, please add it, or read Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment if you would like to help assess the articles as well. With the help of , , and  in the past month, the assessment level has passed 50%!
 Remember to source all information you add to pages properly or else it may be removed, and always use an edit summary so other users know why you are adding or removing information.
 If you are going to make a page for a song in the contest, please make it more than a stub so it does not get deleted.

 From the Members
Welcome to the seventh edition of the WikiProject Eurovision newsletter! It has been a busy month full of national finals and homework for school, so I apologize for publishing the newsletter so late. 

The deadline for choosing the entries is right around the corner and following its passing, we will have a great opportunity to improve the quality of the articles in our project. There are many song stubs that have been created for the entries this year and I would like to see them expanded into coherent articles. Also, I think we need to take a look back at the ""Country in ESC 2009"" articles because I have noticed that most of them are out of date and need to be updated. 

We need to focus more on quality these days instead of just adding new info wherever it fits. Our goals is not to jam as much info o
