Event description

Description of the event: only vital information: a short description of the event (title in italics, by author [[]], (co)produced by Slovene producer [[]], at the x festival
Be consistent with order of information
Include title of a performance/exhibition/book/project in English if possible
If possible, include the internal link to the article in the Culture.si database (eg Slovene producer, organiser)

External link - Programme

The external url address brings additional information about the event. A good link is:

a special web page dedicated to Slovenian event, published online by the venue/organiser/festival
a programme schedule of the whole festival (including Slovenian participants) - ! often out of date after festival closure

Not so good is:

a link to FB event announcement
a link to the hosting group's website (only option in case of touring, when 1 event covers several cities)

When a link in an archive is invalid, one should correct it

ideally find the web page in the festival archive
link to the event report
link to the organiser's website

Formatting rules

INTERNAL LINKS should be put into the | Text = field - use [[]] for Slovene artists, Slovene producers, organisers of the event - USE THE EXACT NAME FROM THE C.SI DATABASE
SLOVENE VENUE ABROAD - if the event happens at the Slovene venue abroad (eg Slovene embassy, A+A Gallery), there is no need to insert an internal link after |at = as the link is done automatically
- Example: |at = A+A Gallery, Venice (! USE THE EXACT NAME FROM THE C.SI DATABASE)

DATES - example: | From = 30 May 2011 - | To = 15 June 2011 - In case of one day events, delete the line | To =

PROGRAMME: insert the external url address - OBLIGATORY FIELD!
If the web address contains strange signs, replace them with the url escape codes
CATEGORIES - add the additional categories if needed

Event status: missing data

Insert a note about an event into the GoogleDocs EVENTS (missing dates or links) in case of:

the missing dates of the event
the missing www link to the programme/event info (published by the venue, festival, producer or organiser)
- Example: predstavitve slovenskih filmov v več mestih po Izraelu (julij)
