I will get on with this one fully today! --K. Peake 07:03, 6 July 2022 (UTC)


### Infobox and lead
Should the amount of points be listed in the infobox?
Only if they qualified per documentation. Grk1011 (talk) 15:41, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
Maybe add "and performed by Argo." at the end of the first sentence instead, making the second only a mention of the selection for the 2016 contest in Stockholm?
"on 9 February 2016, while their song" → "in February 2016, a month before their song" removing the 10 March part from the end of the sentence
"a music video for the song" → "a music video for "Utopian Land"" with the wikilink
Pipe introduction of semi-finals to Semi-finals in the Eurovision Song Contest per MOS:LINK2SECT

### Background
"thirty-six times since" → "36 times since" per MOS:NUM
You need to add the appropriate source(s) for the sentences after the first one here
"The nation has won" → "To this point, the nation had won"
"for the 2004, Greece has managed" → "for the 2004 contest, Greece managed"
"was twentieth place," → "was 20th place,"
"Greece placed nineteenth in" → "Greece placed 19th in"
ERT having been in charge of their entry from 1974 to 2013 is not sourced
"on 11 June 2015." → "on 11 June."
"The new ERT then confirmed their intentions" → "ERT then confirmed Greece's intentions" to be less monotonous
"at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest" → "at the Eurovision Song Contest 2016" with the wikilink
Most of the last para is not backed up by the Wiwibloggs source
"while the last time the nation selected" → "while the last time Greece chose"
"an internal selection (both artist and song)" → "an internal selection of both artist and song"
 Done, but with some rewording so please feel free to recheck this section. Grk1011 (talk) 14:08, 7 July 2022 (UTC)


### Before Eurovision
#### Internal selection
"the Greek broadcaster Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) announced that they would be selecting their act" → "ERT announced that they would be selecting Greece's act"
"of the announcement, including Christina Lachana," → "of the announcement: Christina Lachana," since all of them are listed here
"The song was presented via" → "It was presented via"
Pipe ERA 1 to First Programme (ERT)
Pipe ERA 2 to ERT3

You missed the overlink of European Broadcasting Union. --K. Peake 06:30, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

### Final comments and verdict
 On hold until all of the issues are fixed; my main problem is the original research level. --K. Peake 08:54, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
@Kyle Peake: Thank you for another in depth review! I have made all of the changes you've requested, with a couple comments above. Please let me know if you catch anything else. Grk1011 (talk) 14:08, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Grk1011 You still haven't removed the overlink of European Broadcasting Union that I mentioned twice. --K. Peake 07:09, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Kyle Peake That's not a GA requirement or a requirement at all per WP:OVERLINK: Citations stand alone in their usage, so there is no problem with repeating the same link in many citations within an article; e.g. |work=The Guardian. Grk1011 (talk) 13:11, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Grk1011 Why are you inconsistent with wikilinking them in this article if this is the case? Also, ref 3 needs a publisher. --K. Peake 09:16, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
Kyle Peake Should be all set now. Mistakes can happen when you're requested to fix things that aren't wrong; they don't stand out like actual errors. Thanks again for such a detailed review! Grk1011 (talk) 12:49, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Grk1011 It seems strange that this is a persisting issue, but sources like European Broadcasting Union and WiwiBloggs aren't consistently wikilinked; the overlinking does not matter, rather that it seems to be done randomly... --K. Peake 21:32, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Kyle Peake No, I typically link all of them consistently. Grk1011 (talk) 23:13, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Grk1011 This is not fully consistent though, like refs 25, 29, 30 and 36 not wikilinking the EBU article for instance. --K. Peake 07:34, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
Kyle Peake Did a final read through. Looks consistent now. Let me know if anything remains. Thanks. Grk1011 (talk) 13:43, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 Pass now, don't see any remaining issues! --K. Peake 09:32, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
