Repetition of information

[edit]

Concerning the ESC song stubs in general, the main body of the article tends, inevitably, to be a repetition of information that is already in the info-box. The "meat in the sandwich", capable of later expansion, is what appears between the first and last paragraphs. I do think, however, that such formulaic final paragraphs as

It was succeeded as Dutch representative at the 1973 Contest by Ben Cramer with "De Oude Muzikant".

(which I have edited out here) constitute a repetition too far. The information is in the info-box, so is not lost, but is not strictly relevant to an article about the song in itself. Use of the word "representative" is problematic too, in my view, since the Dutch/French/Icelandic etc. representative is the singer not the song: the latter is the Dutch/French/Icelandic etc. entry. Finally, I think it improves the article to give the pride of final place to the information about the result on the night. --Picapica (talk) 08:27, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
