Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015

 * ... that to celebrate its 60th anniversary, the theme of Building Bridges, and the event's following there, Australia was invited to the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest?
 * ALT 1: ... that while singers from the country have participated in it before, the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest will mark the debut of Australia as a participating country?
 * ALT 2: ... that in honour of its 60th edition and its following there, Australia will participate in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest?
 * Comment: My only contribution was adding citations and adding a bit more background. I don't think that's enough to require a QPQ.

 * Symbol question.svg DYK's rules recently changed so that every nomination (whether the nominator worked on the article or not) needs a QPQ, unless the user has fewer than five DYK credits. This means that you need to provide a QPQ regardless. 97198 (talk) 00:50, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg The article is free of any copyright violations that I can find, the only similarities are to Wikipedia mirrors. It had a couple of cite issues, which I have fixed, with the exception of one CN tag for a minor point. It is neutral. It is new, and long enough. There is no image. My only quibbles are the following; the QPQ was rather perfunctory, causing another editor to step in; and the article is rather poorly structured. The headings are arbitrary, and details are in the wrong place; SBS is mentioned in the first body line without any explanation as to what it is, for instance. It could use a thorough copy-edit, by someone acquainted with the topic (ie not me). Vipersnake, you seem to have a few GAs; surely you could handle this. I would suggest structuring something like "background-Previous Aussie participation-2015 lineup," but of course I know very little. The hook is cited inline, but I am not a fan of the construction of any of them, so I would propose ALT3 which is simply a restatement of the others, and hence does not require a separate check;


 * ALT3 ... that Australia will participate in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, in honor of the competition's 60th edition?


 * ViperSnake151, if you fix the minor issues raised and are okay with ALT3, I can tick this. Vanamonde93 (talk) 05:10, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
