I feel as if I should review this, as there are many Eurovision nominees pending currently and I haven't reviewed any articles for days. --K. Peake 18:13, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I've been on a bit of a writing rally this past week and have been feeling pretty motivated. Grk1011 (talk) 19:14, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Grk1011 Nothing better to get your motivation level up than someone delivering a review! --K. Peake 21:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Background

At Eurovision

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed, congrats on this though since I noticed it is a definite step-up from your previous GAN! --K. Peake 11:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! I have made the changes you suggested. What is the archive tool? Typically I would manually find things as the links rot, but is there something automated that you are referring to? Grk1011 (talk) 14:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Grk1011 The fix dead links hyperlink under revision history. Also, do a quick read through of the suggestions to make sure you have got everything covered. --K. Peake 14:30, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Grk1011 Nice job with the archiving by now, but you still need to remove the word "annual" in the lead, change "Broadcaster SMRTV had first" to "Radiotelevisione della Repubblica di San Marino (SMRTV) had first" since that is what I meant when I said about removing the intro, also change the "and spoke about their" part accordingly and to be specific, you should change "would proceed to the grand final" to saying the final instead. After all these have been done, it should be fine. --K. Peake 17:42, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Done! And thanks for the archive tool tip! Grk1011 (talk) 18:08, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Grk1011 ✓ Pass now, glad to have everything covered in the very day of my review! --K. Peake 18:38, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
