message: Where was the contest hosted in Malmö? The broadcast clearly states it was held in the Ice Stadium (ice hockey arena), whilst the EBU has named Malmömassan (the former exhibition and convention centre) as the venue that year. I believe the confusion is due to the centre being located in the same area as the stadium and arena before moving in the early 1990s. I think we should put this to a discussion? , , , , ,  and  who made the changes here and on the list of host cities. Regards, Fort esc (talk) 20:11, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The contest was held in the Malmö Isstadion. This is backed up, as you say in the broadcast itself, but it is also listed as the contest venue in Roxburgh's Songs for Europe: The United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest (2020), O'Connor's The Eurovision Song Contest: The Official History (2010) and Thorsson & Verhage's  (2006) as well as elsewhere on the official Eurovision website, e.g. this write-up when the contest was broadcast as part of #EurovisionAgain. I understand the official website's page on the 1992 contest lists Malmömässan as the venue, but I believe that you are correct due to the confusion with the move in the early 1990s getting the current stadium mixed up with the Stadionområdet area of Malmö.

Talk:Eurovision Song Contest 1991

message: i) Sometime after this contest the tie-break rules changed and the first breaker became the number of countries that voted for the tied songs (and only after that, if necessary, the number of '12's (etc).  This new rule would have given this contest to France (18 countries voted), and not Sweden (17 countries voted).
ii) There appears to have been some problem with Carola's performance (ultimate winner), with a dismissed suggestion that their performance should have been repeated ?  (Sound system problem maybe ? Anyone know ?) Archzog 12:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Comment

message: Having just watched this one, the mention of the scoreboard turning blue is misleading - it's only the background that changes (wiki makes it sound like it breaks down, which it doesn't).
Also Desiree Nosbusch's presenting is described as "lax". Does the author mean "relaxed"?  The two words do not mean the same (lax means sloppy).  She's fine, and the general presentation is actually much smoother than today's - far fewer pregnant pauses and misfiring attempts at humour, and so forth.

message: There's an error in the article. According to the Voting structure, "each country had 10 jury members who each decided the best song and each awarded 1 point." This would mean that 10 points per country were given. However, according to the Score sheet, the Swiss jury gave 1+1+1+1+3+1+1+0+2=11 points. The error is probably made with Denmark, who have received 4 points in the Score sheet, but 3 points in the Results. All the other scores are correct. AecisBrievenbus 01:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Removal of relevant content 

message: Here's a bit from the Format section:
:"The Italian entry was not picked up properly in some of the other countries, which meant that after all the other songs had been presented, Domenico Modugno had to sing it again. Later on, it became very successful in the United States, where it has become commonly known as Volare, and got two Grammy Awards. It is one of few Eurovision songs that has reached No. 1 in the US singles charts. At the 50th anniversary show "Congratulations" in 2005, it was elected the 2nd best Eurovision entry ever."
On one hand, that paragraph (starting from the second sentence) has no place in the Format section. On the other hand, it still is very relevant to the article. I decided to remove it as the same information is repeated in the Participating Countries section, where it is more appropriate. 
When I saw the info in the Participating Countries section, though, it said that Volare won three Grammy awards when it had only won two. The Eurovision website is unfortunately mistaken, so I took a bit from the Volare (song) page to replace it. Sang'gre Habagat (talk) 05:35, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Popular Rally

message: It is worth noting that Popular Orthodox Rally was renamed Popular Rally and that this is something that should be reflected in the article.  The newspaper Stochos published an article on 1 September 2005 that was titled "Karatzaferis Removed 'Orthodox' From His Party".  The article in question quoted Karatzaferis as saying that the reason for the change was because, "Many mischievous journalists call our party Laos [Λάος, with the stress on the "a"] and not Laos [Λαός, with the stress on the "o"] and so we were forced into renaming it".  The newspaper Eleftheros Kosmos also notes the change in an article published 16 October 2005, titled "How LA.O.S. Became LA.SY.".  It describes how, shortly after 2002, "Mr. G. Karatzaferis began, unilaterally and without worning, to change the character and the manner of the party, nastily perturbing his staff and supporters. [...] There were intense protests because [...] the archetypal designation (LA.O.S.) and the sign (cross) of the party were gone. [...] 'Coincidently' with the accession of Mr. M. Voridis, the party of Mr. G. Karatzaferis gained a double designation: a) the written Popular Orthodox Rally (LA.O.S.) and b) the verbal Popular Rally (LA.SY.) since henceforth that is how the party has been called by its leader and his associates".  Alpha Ena, the newspaper associated with the party has also run images on its front cover displaying the new name (i.e. "Popular Rally") from at least 3 September 2005 (and possibly earlier, though I am not certain).
