Shouldnt Macedonia be listed as "FYR Macedonia" and not just Macedonia? In Eurovision its always listed as FYR Macedonia, because of the dispute with Greece... Philly boy92 (talk) 00:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

See: WP:MOSMAC2 and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#Macedonia mass re-naming. -- [[ axg ⁞⁞ talk ]] 00:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

so i've managed to find two sources regarding... well, see the title of this section.

each of these airings were aired at different times of day, and i've somehow found out that at least one person was credited in these two broadcasts as well.
i just want to know if this is actually useful or not.

One of Wikipedia's key aspects is verifiability, and a source is better than no source. -- AxG / ✉  22:02, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
well, these are the only sources i have for this one so i have absolutely nothing else backing this up at the moment. 2804:54:15CF:3F01:89EE:F9C0:3795:23A (talk) 23:23, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

### Infobox and lead
Christine Marchal-Ortiz needs to be sourced as executive supervisor in the body of the article
Thanks for catching this! While this was covered in the "Website" field of the infobox, you're right that it should probably have also been included in prose. I've added this with additional sources to the Production section. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 10:29, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
The second sentence feels like a run-on; this would work better if you wrote "it was presented by" with a preceding comma, then start a new sentence at the contest being held in Sweden
The lead is too much at four paragraphs; to fix this, make the winner sentence the last one of the second para and merge the fourth para with the current third one
I think the 195 points sentence would work better with the points mentioned after "total yet seen in the contest"
Last para looks good!


### Location
Pipe Globe Arena to Avicii Arena on the img text
Second img looks good!
First para is really well-written!
"Stockholm's bid won" start a new sentence here to avoid a run-on


### Participating countries
Wouldn't using "the 2000 contest" instead of "the event" suit the first para?
Not sure about the structure of the previous participations sentence; maybe it would work better to add respectively after the years then alongside at the very end
Remove wikilink on Christina Argyri
Pipe Stefán Hilmarsson to Sálin hans Jóns míns (band)
I've replaced this with an interlanguage link to the Icelandic article on the subject; I believe repiping to the band would go against WP:NOTBROKEN, so hopefully this is a suitable compromise. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 12:01, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
Table looks good!


#### Qualification
I am confused with the group of countries part; the source lists the "Big Five" out yet you have used the "Big Four" here, any reason for this please or should it be used to Big Five?
The "Big Four" became the "Big Five" in 2011 when Italy returned to the contest after a 13 year absence. I've now added an additional reference to cover this. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 10:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
The returning countries are not sourced to [5]
New ref added to cover this. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 10:56, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
"by the Swedish public broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT)." → "by SVT."
"next to the stage, and" → "next to the stage and"
"featuring all twenty-four" → "featuring all 24" per MOS:NUM
"of the contest, released through" → "of the contest, through" to avoid unneeded repetition of released
"the organisers, and followed" → "the organisers and followed"


### Format
#### Entries
"performance, and all performers" → "performance and all performers"
"this submission was required" start a new sentence at this point please since it is a run-on at the moment leading from the submission date into all this information
"of the twenty-four competing" → "of the 24 competing" per MOS:NUM


#### Voting procedure
What exactly does [39] source in the first sentence please?
The link in this ref has now been redirected to a different page. The archived version contains a section entitled "Your votes please", which is what it was meant to refer to. I've now set this ref as dead to ensure the right information is displayed when checking the ref.
"an exception, and" → "an exception and"
"prevents the televoting results" are you sure past tense shouldn't be used here?
Good catch! Now changed. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 12:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
"on 13 May" → "on 13 May 2000"


#### Postcards
Really good!


### Contest overview
Img looks good!
[9][2][30] should be in numerical order
"of the twenty-four participating countries" → "of the 24 participating countries" per MOS:NUM
Add a full-stop after the third-place finish mention
"was not among of the pre-contest" → "was not among the pre-contest"
[5][6][2][50] should be in numerical order
[5][2] ditto
[6][5][51] should be in numerical order


#### Spokespersons
Good


### Detailed voting results
Really good!


### Broadcasts
The sentence about broadcasters sending to commentators needs to invoke a ref at the end, also what does the sending refer to if you can specify please?
Thanks for the neutral insight on this part. I've now expanded this section with refs and to add information around how the commentators were typically situated on-site, with commentary booths constructed for their job at the back of the venue. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 12:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
Shouldn't the refs be centered in the tables?


### Other awards
Sub-section is not needed when it is only this one award


### Notes
Make this its own section since there is enough notes to go from a–l; looks good elsewhere!


### References
Copyvio score looks decent at 35.5%
Cite SVT Nyheter as publisher instead on ref 11
Cite eurovision.de as publisher instead on refs 12 and 19
What exactly makes diggiloo.net a reliable source on ref 18?
Remove or replace ref 36 per WP:DISCOGS
WP:OVERLINK of John Kennedy O'Connor and Carlton Books on ref 42
Remove INFE from the title of ref 43
WP:OVERLINK of European Broadcasting Union on refs 46, 47, 48 and 49
What exactly makes runyweb.com a reliable source on ref 55?
WP:OVERLINK of The Guardian on ref 63
WP:OVERLINK of Timarit.is on ref 77
Cite CNN as publisher instead on ref 113


### External links
Good


### Final comments and verdict
 On hold until all of the issues are fixed, been very busy so took me two days after opening this review! --K. Peake 21:29, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
@Kyle Peake: Thank you for the thorough review! I believe I have now covered all the points you raised above. On the two references you called out on WP:RS grounds, I have now removed these, as well as the Discogs source; in all cases I believe the information presented on the article is already sufficiently sourced without these three references. Please do let me know if there is anything else you feel requires work on this before you feel comfortable in passing as GA. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 12:05, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
Sims2aholic8  Pass now, immaculate work here and I will review another Eurovision contest for you too!!! --K. Peake 09:54, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
