Project 5 - Double check
Project 5 involves...SOURCING!!
On Wikipedia, it is very important not only to have the correct information, but to show where you got it from so it can be verified. Editor's should be finding additional sources to reference information with.
This project also includes checking all similar pages to make sure things are consistent across the board and correcting any errors. A listing of pages marked for some sort of cleanup is available here.
Project 6 - Assessment
Project 6 involves:
Assessing project pages. The first thing to assess an article is to add {{EurovisionNotice|class=}}, the project banner, to the talk page of an article if it does not have one. The next step is better done by someone who has not edited the page so they can have an objective view. It involves assessing the article on the assessment scale. We have a very low assessment rate so the least you can do is make sure every Eurovision page has the project banner.
