Lead

 * Delink China per MOS:OVERLINK
 * "was chosen during Selecția Națională 2020 on 1 March." - state what the Selecția Națională 2020 was for clarity
 * "final for the second consecutive time." - year
 * "while Roxen had appearances on several native talk shows and radio stations." - shorter and concise Roxen appeared on several

Background

 * "Its highest placing in the contest, to this point, has been third place," - in past tense please; had
 * "As of December 2019, the broadcaster was still discussing the method" - the word "still" is redundant
 * "been given that time preceding years." - in preceding years.

Artist selection

 * "On 31 January 2020, TVR has confirmed their collaboration with native label" - the word "has" is unneeded since the event happened in the past
 * "Furthermore, it has been announced that Liana Stanciu" - same issue as above
 * "the project has costed TVR a reported €69,000." - had cost TVR
 * "Having brought together several notable composers such as David Ciente," - the word "notable" is unnecessary
 * "a songwriting camp was organized in January 2020," - organised
 * "Global Records's manager Ștefan has announced that a male and two female artists" - you don't need to have the word "has" since the event happened in the past
 * "and the competing songs released on 21 February." - competing songs were released
 * "released on 21 February.[14][12]" - the references should be placed in numerical order

Selecția Națională 2020

 * "Selecția Națională 2020 was the national final format organized by TVR" - organised
 * "awarded a set of points from 5–0, which was based on each member's individual set of votes from 5–0." - both mentions of "5–0" are better off written as five to zero
 * "the latter was to previal in case of a tie" - latter would decide the winning song
 * "Selecția Națională was aired" - shown for variety
 * "broadcast" seemed like a better choice for me here.
 * That change is acceptable MWright96 (talk) 18:38, 1 April 2020 (UTC)


 * "sized around 300 square metres." - the convert template should be used on the text in bold

At Eurovision

 * Delink China per MOS:OVERLINK
 * "selected countries, except the host country" - try to not repeat the same word close together in the same sentence
 * "EBU soon after announced" - more gramatically correct; EBU announced soon after
 * "that intended 2020 entries were not eligible for the following year." - that entries intended for 2020 would not be eligible for the following year.
