Hello! I will complete this review within the next week. -Riley1012 (talk) 01:32, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

1. Well-written
 * For the second year in a row the winner... add comma after "row".
 * Twenty-two of the twenty-three countries which had participated... should be "that" instead of "which".
 * In the late 1980s and early 1990s the Eurovision Song Contest... add comma after "1990s".
 * ...by 1992 an increasing number of countries had begun expressing an interested in joining the event... should be "interest" instead of "interested".
 * ...and could use instrumental-only backing tracks, however any backing tracks... There should be either a semicolon after "tracks" and then a comma after "however", or this should be split into two separate sentences.
 * Following each first rehearsal there was an opportunity for delegates... add comma after "rehearsal".
 * An audience was present for the second dress rehearsal in the evening of 12 May... use "on" instead of "in"

2. Verifiable Earwig's Copyvio check is fine. Sources are reliable and formatted correctly.
 * Spot check:
 * Source 18 needs to be archived (it's now a blank page)
 * No issues: 2, 6, 11, 15, 25, 28, 34, 38, 42, 47, 51, 63, 79, 82, 86


 * Are there references for the broadcasts in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Luxembourg, and Turkey? If not, they should be removed from the table.

3. Broad The article is broad and focused.

4. Neutral The article is neutral.

5. Stable This article is stable day-to-day.

6. Illustrated The images in the article are free and have relevant captions.

Well done! Just a few minor fixes, and then this should be good to go. -Riley1012 (talk) 17:28, 6 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your review! I have completed the prose tweaks and corrections as suggested. Regarding ref. 18, I went to find a live version of the same webpage, however I noticed that they had since added that Wikipedia was the original source of the information, so I have removed this source per WP:CIRCULAR and commented out the supported prose until a better ref can be found. I have done a thorough sweep of all other sources and I am confident that this was the only issue.
 * Sounds good, thanks. -Riley1012 (talk) 00:25, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Regarding the country broadcasts with missing refs, there are no direct references available for those specific countries, however they would be covered indirectly through the same refs used in the participants table (18 and 19). As an example, while there is no direct source to support the broadcast in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as they were a participant and the contest is a television programme, per the rules of the contest their participating broadcaster RTVBiH would have been required to broadcast the event. The broadcaster in particular is listed on the individual participants pages on the official Eurovision website (ref 18, see here). As a solution these pages could be used to support broadcast information when there are no secondary sources available, e.g. TV listings in newspapers, however I also understand this may be too much of a WP:SYNTH issue, and would understand if your original suggestion to remove these rows from the table still stands.

 * Okay, I didn't notice the broadcasters were listed in another source. That's fine with me, I'll go ahead and pass the article. -Riley1012 (talk) 00:25, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
