Talk:Nation Song Contest 39

I think the edits of this page need to have a real discussion. During these days we are just making reverts of other users' edits. But we must find a solution, a consensus, on the Manual of Style we need to adopt for pages that describe a particular NSC edition. Me and sean discussed on certain issues and agreed on certain terms:
 * Bolding and #FFDEAD the qualifiers (the 10 direct qualifiers) from the semi-finals
 * Bolding and #EEDC82 the qualifiers (the ROJ qualifiers) from the semi-finals, to distinguish them
 * Bolding and #FFDEAD (only) the winner of the contest/final
 * External links should use bullets * and not    (since bullets automatically make a link in each line)

These are the main issues that were needed to be cleared up. Chrisportelli 07:19, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I agreed to everything you mentioned except for only FFDEADing the winner. I thought we agreed on all 6 of the prequalifiers. Eurouk3434 16:39, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * FFDEADing the winner will help the user to identify who is the winner. We can just write the qualifiers with bold text. What do you think? Chrisportelli 18:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

It is easy enough to identify the winner with the info box so bolding and ffdeading five more countries won't lead to confusion. And also (sorry, I seem so picky these days xD) can you use bgcolor="FFDEAD" for the coding and not bold the Draw and YT Link columns? It looks better and is much easier for people to program if they want to editEurouk3434 18:39, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

We have no reason to create strict guidelines for our style of editing. It works on real Wikipedia, but it will not work here. The system works well as it is, and it's up to the editors to make sure it stays consistent. I'm slowly but surely going back through the edition pages at times, and rest assured that there are several things added by both of you that I will change or remove completely when I get to it.

I will let you keep discussing the colours and see if you reach an agreement. If you eventually need a judge, I'll gladly assess the situation. Fearnavigatr 18:50, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
