# Talk:History of the Eurovision Song Contest

Unless you can objectively define "well-known performers", that list is POV. --Dweller (talk) 10:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)


### Competition history
SVT didn't even exist in 1975. Where did you get this information from? Are you kidding me?
This is absolutely not true that SVT hosted Eurovision in 1975. Totally impossible, as Swedish Radio Services was in charge. SVT was introduced several years later as a result to make public service more effective in order to fulfil the new governments wishes. You don't even have a source —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.185.94.252 (talk) 21:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC) 

The entry immediately above might be correct over some things; but what is 'SVT'? 
Your first sentence might be better if it was written something like: 'Swedish Video Television' (SVT)'. Then you could continue on at the (unnamed) object of your ire. 
It might also help people like me if you made it clear who your tirade is aimed at.

Eurovision 2020 in Rotterdam is cancelled
It was inevitable but as they say, safety first.

"originally conceived through a desire to unite European countries through cross-border television broadcasts following World War II" has no citation, and is false. The eurovision website https://eurovision.tv/history/origins-of-eurovision has a different origin which is less romantic. Fans tend to be really into the "desire to unite Europe" idea, but it doesn't hold water with any more reputable sources, even if it has been said by Eurovision hosts. This page itself doesn't even make this claim beyond the introduction. I tried to edit this, but the "ClueBot NG" undid my edit, so I don't think I can change it again.

I've returned your edits, and have labled the reversion as a false positive using the bot's tools. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 08:12, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
