Frequently asked questions

Q1: 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?

A1: 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.

Wrong Link "Thomas Mohr"[edit]

Hello, I'm the Thomas Mohr who commentated the finale for German radio. In this text, there is a wrong link as far as my name is concerned. Best regards Thomas Mohr — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.113.141.20 (talk) 11:10, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed in [1]. I made similar fixes for 2009 and 2010. These articles also mention a Thomas Mohr who clearly isn't Thomas Mohr: Mahagonny-Songspiel, St Matthew Passion discography, The Magic Flute discography, Andreas Karasiak, Elisabeth Scholl, Literaturpreis des Kulturkreises der deutschen Wirtschaft. Are any of them you? PrimeHunter (talk) 00:59, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
