so Malta is also participating according to Eurovision world and multiple sources 223.190.87.6 (talk) 11:24, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The citation all sources used no longer works and was the same one cited here. Croatia was also removed before despite being wrongly listed by other sites such as Eurovisionworld as being confirmed. Aaboucher.ajb (talk) 14:38, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - Needs to be officially confirmed by Eurovision. MadGuy7023 (talk) 23:04, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No it doesn't - most of the countries here aren't confirmed to be participating by Eurovision. If we went by that metric we'd have Cyprus, Montenegro, Albania, maybe two or three more. When Eurovision officially publishes the list, probably before the end of the year, then the standard switches to that. But yes, in this case Malta probably shouldn't be present.

Since Bulgaria and North Macedonia confirmed non-participation, they should be added to the part that says the non-participating members 2607:FEA8:86D8:1B00:3842:77DA:AE7:887C (talk) 14:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They have not confirmed anything yet. Yoyo360^{message me} — Preceding undated comment added 14:59, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bulgaria Tweeted That They Weren’t Competing Next Year But It Got Deleted Moments Later 2A02:C7C:D6DF:1500:F12C:5502:6521:492F (talk) 05:12, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a reliable source Toffeenix (talk) 07:05, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the tweet has been deleted, it isn't relevant because the source doesn't exist anymore Yoyo360^{message me} 11:53, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The EurovisionBG account isn't reliable anyway. It misleads and memes constantly. IceWelder [✉] 15:04, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, in the context of the article, it is quite clear what change should be made: Netherlands be added to the list of competing countries. Yet, EurovisionFun is not a reliable source, and the original (Het Patrool) is a rumour at best. If this report is true, we'll have the official list of participants in no time, so no biggie.

MESC 2025

PBS confirmed that MESC 2025 Will be on February 8 2025 so Malta's Conoeting In 2025 2A02:C7C:D6DF:1500:31F5:FF3C:8AA6:AC3F (talk) 20:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was already added to the page before you came here to say this, please check before wasting our time Toffeenix (talk) 23:42, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This. These "something just happened"-esque posts aren't helpful in general. If you have a reliable source for any claim, you should just provide it, or even add it to the article yourself. Merely saying that something happened and then claiming that a country is "Conoeting" because of it will cause multiple people to read that message and look for sources, only for the one to actually be able add it or everyone to come up empty-handed; either way a collective waste of time. Without such a discussion, someone will stumble across a source eventually, even if it is half an hour later when they see it on their Twitter feed. Lastly, dropping the Jaden Smith style of capitalization would greatly improve the readability of your sentences. IceWelder [✉] 16:07, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What harm does it do? If you don't want to waste time, you don't have to reply to it, right? ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 18:12, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's a good use of anyone's time to have to check anything this person says, or patiently explain to them that what they're saying is wrong or stupid so others won't waste their time checking it or doing the same thing. But if it's not a big deal I'm happy to open another section saying Netherland Confirmed 2025 Partcipation They not Send Joots Toffeenix (talk) 00:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On that topic: Wouldn't it be information worth mentioning that Joost planed to compete (which he clearly did based on that he put it on his social media) but ultimately decided against it? Or is this a case of 'rumors don't belong on the wiki'? Just asking. Harry rey esc (talk) 06:53, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this would go on the page for Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 once that goes up, and maybe Eurovision Song Contest 2024 if there's more information there about the resolution of this all, but I'm not sure where it would go on this page. Toffeenix (talk) 07:05, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moldova should be added to the "yet to decide" section

As it stands, we are awaiting Moldova's decision. However, they are not listed in the "Other countries" section (where Romania and Poland are mentioned). They probably should be, as they've never missed ESC and were only waiting, as far as I know, to find out the result of the 2024 Moldovan European Union membership referendum last week in which closer integration to Europe was the winning vote. Therefore, especially considering there's still only 34 countries declared, the door should still be open to Moldova. Tris2000 (talk) 23:13, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The intention is not to be a "yet to decide" section per se, just to include countries that have not announced a decision but have announced *something*, which as far as I'm aware Moldova hasn't (Australia and Armenia otherwise would be here too). If there's a source saying they're considering it or something similar then it could probably be added - I think that section used to include all participants from the previous year that hadn't announced a decision by default? But I could be misremembering. Toffeenix (talk) 02:08, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think that's right. Last year I'm sure it mentioned all of the previous year's, at this juncture. Anyhow, we'll find out soon enough. I would be very surprised if Moldova didn't, considering their recent referendum. Tris2000 (talk) 03:44, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No link? No nothing? Is it even a reliable source? Why are you sending us on a goose chase for a citation if you already have one? IceWelder [✉] 07:44, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BNT Confirmed that they weren't broadcasting the contest next year so Bulgaria's not competing 2A02:C7C:D6DF:1500:BC57:BF47:DF85:82A8 (talk) 13:32, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop telling us and show us instead. Provide the link that proves this and it can be added to the article. Keep in mind what a reliable source is. Grk1011 (talk) 14:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Think they mean changing Malta to purple on the map as their participation is now confirmed, which yeah it's a bit odd that was missed Toffeenix (talk) 00:37, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
