"Skepsisen var til stede også i forkant av den internasjonale finalen i Dublin 13. mai 1995, blant annet mente svenskene at «Nocturne» ikke var noen sang. Den fikk heller ingen poeng fra den svenske juryen, men vant likevel konkurransen med 148 poeng."
"scepticalism was there during the beginnning of the international contest also, among other things, the swedes meant it was "no song". it got no votes from them either. but still won with 148 points"

SothoTalKer: it's a general annoyance of mine that the english wikipedia trumps every other language wikipedia, even if : 1. the other wikipedias have better, long article. 2. the actual artist/song/whathave you is of a diff nationality and especially 3. if the en wiki is literally two sentences and the f.ex nowiki or dewiki are several paragraps or even starred article
SothoTalKer
ah you mean for wikidata links?
KassOtsimine
also if there *is* no english wikipedia artice the run down is ridiculous, for eample it will pick german before jugoslavian (i belive) which might be alphabetical (de before j) but it will. graviously puck svedish wiki before norwegina, which makes NO sense if it's a norwegian artist!

SothoTalKer: yes, but alos, if i f.ex link a norwwgian wikipage, it will *still* show the nglish wikiblurb
and that's just.. insulting
my hope is that chhaviredesign will fix these things
imho the blurb's language should be set by editors, but then can be owerwritten by useroptions. ie "show me the set wikipedia blurb / always show the language ____"
what do you think of that idea?

oh and also, to remain peace with the engloish spaikers. make sure that "only set to a diff language than eng if the eng wikipedia is inferior to the other language AND that the other language makes sense (ie not indonesian article for eg mozart)
is a guideline

KassOtsimine
it situiations where it is obvious
SothoTalKer
dunno, people should set their 3 preferred wiki languages in the options and we should list all available entries on the respective page somewhere.
KassOtsimine
oohh nice! that's not a bad idea

KassOtsimine: that requires a little bit deeper integration with wikidata itself, but i think it is doable :)
we could also add to cover more data from wikidata directly (:
KassOtsimine
yes. i'd deff like to have things like other databases linked to wikidata auto-populated once a wikidata item was linked to an mb one
and then also changed ifthey were changed at wikidata (but utilising an edit in our system and not done automatically)
always good with a aper trail
