Tie Breaker

i) Sometime after this contest the tie-break rules changed and the first breaker became the number of countries that voted for the tied songs (and only after that, if necessary, the number of '12's (etc). This new rule would have given this contest to France (18 countries voted), and not Sweden (17 countries voted).

ii) There appears to have been some problem with Carola's performance (ultimate winner), with a dismissed suggestion that their performance should have been repeated ? (Sound system problem maybe ? Anyone know ?) Archzog 12:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The technical failure

Did the sound break during Carola's first or second performance? Andreyyshore (talk) 23:16, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ireland & UK

Ireland and the UK were tied at 10th. Shouldn't the article be changed to Ireland 11th, UK 10th, because the UK got a ten while Ireland didn't. 09:02, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

It depends entirely on what the EBU have on their official scorecard. They changed the rules several times, which is noted on the main Voting at the Eurovision Song Contest. Wesley ☮ Mouse 09:54, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1. Well-written

For the first time since 1969 the contest resulted in a draw for first place... Add a comma after "1969"
Of the countries that participated in 1990 the Netherlands were the only country that failed to make a return... Add a comma after "1990", and the Netherlands should be treated as a singular noun, so change "were" to "was"
The nation had for a number of years attempted to make a return to the contest, however were prevented from doing so... Should be "was" instead of "were"
An audience was present for the second dress rehearsal in the evening of 3 May. Change "in" to "on"
...and during the live broadcast a number of technical mishaps occurred... Add a comma after "broadcast"
Unlike the majority of previous contest presenters, whom had conducted the events in English and French... Should be "who" instead of "whom"

@Sims2aholic8 and Piotrus: There's a {{clump}} of references in the Production section, can this be reworded?--Laun chba ller 18:10, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Launchballer, Excessive citations? I don't see a problem, nor the tag/template? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:51, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CLUMP is quite clear that "more than three [citations] should generally be avoided". I've added a tag to show where it is.--Laun chba ller 05:44, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I fixed it by merging some duplicated citations and bundling two references that weren't being used for anything else.--Laun chba ller 10:47, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
