[edit] Lyric and Vie clips fields..

Linking to You Tube is NOT automaticaly acceptable, particularly given that a lot of clips on it have ambiguous (C) status. Sfan00 IMG 18:25, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, actually I would guess that all ESC songs in Youtube are copyright infringements and they should perhaps not be linked to. You may wish to read Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking to copyrighted works. ›mysid () 17:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flag, and semi finals

First, I suggest to put the flag somewhere in the infobox. The flag is always important in the presentation of the songs in the contest, and should be visible. Secondly, it should be noted in the infobox whether the song was voted through to the final, or if it was only in the semi finals.Bib (talk) 20:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

How about adding the flag to the headline of the infobox, such as in the example below. Bib (talk) 22:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


Flag of Serbia Molitva
Eurovision Song Contest 2007 entry
Country Serbia
Artist(s) Marija Šerifović
Composer(s) Vladimir Graić
Lyricist(s) Saša Milošević Mare


I'm adding flags. If people don't approve, I'll remove it.Bib (talk) 23:55, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New parameters

I've added two new parameters - prev_year and next_year. In the case where the country does not participate in the ESC, like Ireland in 2002, if the prev_year parameter is filled in, it takes the value for the previous year from this parameter. If the prev_year parameter is not present or empty, it subtracts 1 from the present year. The next_year parameter works the same way for the following year/contest.

See We've Got The World and Without Your Love for the new parameters in action. Snappy56 (talk) 09:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
