Rumour
[edit]"there is a rumour that they may make an appearance in the future, possibly 2008.
Is this an encyclopedia or a gossip column in a Eurovision fanzine?
esctoday.com seems to be the most reliable of the bunch and seems to have been allowed to stand (e.g. I haven't heard about San Marino playing in 2008 anywhere BUT esctoday). I had thought TangoTV wanted to sign up but went bankrupt ... the 'official' Luxembourg network has said never again. 71.178.109.128 (talk) 19:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
debate
[edit]There's a remark ' The Luxembourg Government will therefore hold a debate to discuss the proposals set out on the petition, and the possible return of the country to the contest'. This is in future tense, but I presume that this will have happened by now? Does anyone know about the outcome? effeietsanders 07:22, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

Long wait you've had at half a year for this article, I will give you what you deserve now! --K. Peake 17:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
Infobox and lead
[edit]- Infobox looks good!
- "The nation did not return to" → "The nation declined to return to" per the body's wording
- "when the nation was represented by" → "when represented by"
- "won the contest in" → "won the Eurovision Song Contest in"
- "and within the top ten 20 times." → "and the top ten 20 times."
- You should mention the relegation and non-participation was from 1993
- Merge the third para with the second one
Contest history
[edit]- Wikilink Luxembourgish to itself
- The source says 37 but this should be 38 per how many it has been by 2024; can you please source the correct number?
- Img looks good!
- [8][9] should be swapped per the order of information
- Remove wikilink on Luxembourgish
- [7] is the ref sourcing the last sentence of the last para rather than [6]
Relegation, absence and return
[edit]- "contest, and participation in" → "contest and participation in"
- "viewing public, and poor results" → "viewing public and poor results"
- "on 1 December," → "on 1 December 2023,"
- "and a thirteenth place finish" → "and a 13th place finish" per MOS:NUM
- "in Switzerland, and that work had" → "in Switzerland and work had"
Participation overview
[edit]- Remove the semi-final part of the table because this only has one contest; I would simply add a note next to that participation
- Remove wikilinks on "Chansons pour ceux qui s'aiment", "Monsieur" and "Sou fräi" since these are redirects
Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest
[edit]- "fiftieth anniversary, with fourteen songs from" → "50th anniversary, with 14 songs from" per MOS:NUM
- Remove wikilinks on "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" and France Gall
- "among the fourteen selected songs." → "among the 14 selected songs."
Hostings
[edit]- Img looks good!
- Shouldn't there be a comma before the usage of respectively?
- Change to the UK's instead of United Kingdom
- Pipe Luxembourg to Luxembourg City on the table
Related involvement
[edit]Heads of delegation
[edit]- Good, apart from the table which I do not see the purpose of for one event
Conductors
[edit]- I don't think a comma is needed before "or"
- Centre the ref column
Jury members
[edit]- "participation history, and has" → "participation history and has"
- Remove pipe on RTL Hei Elei
Commentators and spokespersons
[edit]- I think RTL9 should only be wikilinked on the first instance of the table since they are easily identifiable after
- Ditto for RTL (Luxembourgian TV channel)
Stage directors
[edit]- This should be wrote out in prose since it is only one person
Photo gallery
[edit]- Good
Notes and references
[edit]Notes
[edit]- Good
References
[edit]- Copyvio score looks slightly too high at 41.5%; please cut down direct quoting to resolve this
- Fix all of the dead links using the tool
- (EBU00 → (EBU) on ref 15
- What exactly makes Languages and You a reliable source on ref 19?
- EBU → European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on ref 22
- Pipe RTL Today to RTL Group on refs 21, 32, 38, 52, 64 and 76 and always cite as publisher only
- Cite ESCToday as publisher instead on ref 24
- Fix MOS:CAPS issues with ref 38
- Cite L'essentiel as newspaper instead on ref 44
- Remove or replace ref 46 since that is basically a fan website
- Solely cite DR for refs 48 and 50
- Remove eurovision.tv from ref 49
- Cite Eurovoix as publisher instead on refs 53 and 127
- Wikilink Telos Publishing on ref 66
- Shouldn't ref 77 cite just one of RTL Infos or RTL?
- Cite Revue Agenda as magazine instead on all those refs
Final comments and verdict
[edit]On hold until all of the issues are fixed after this two-day review! --K. Peake 21:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake: Thanks very much for the thorough review! Some additional comments below:
You should mention the relegation and non-participation was from 1993
: I feel that this is already covered by the current wording in the lead (specifically the second sentence of the first paragraph), but if you have any further thoughts on how this could be made clearer then please do let me know.- I have added a new source from the Luxembourg Times (new ref 8) to cover the increased participation number.
[7] is the ref sourcing the last sentence of the last para rather than [6]
: Ref 6 does stateLuxembourg's final decade at the Contest saw a swift decline in their results, with the country finishing 20th or lower in 4 of their last 7 Contests.
so I believe that this does source the last sentence already (as no more than 25 countries competed within the contests between 1987 and 1993).- For your comments on the participation table, as this is a series of articles all with a similar structure I would prefer to retain the semi-finals column. I think it also provides context at a glance that there were no semis between 1956 and 1992, as well as providing the link to Kvalifikacija za Millstreet for the 1993 contest. I do understand your comment around there only being the one event at the moment, hence I removed sortability from these columns for now. Per MOS:REDIR I am also suggesting that the three songs you listed above remain linked, since they do not fail WP:SELFRED.
- Heads of delegation and creative directors sections have now been moved to prose as suggested.
- The high copyvio score I believe is mainly due to the inclusion of the Christophe Goossens quote in the Contest history section. As this is a direct quote, and I have used the blockquote template, I believe that besides this there is no copyvio issue. Do let me know if you have any other concerns around this.
- Other than those points I believe I have covered all aspects of your review, but do let me know if there is anything else alongside your response to my comments. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:42, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake: Thanks very much for the thorough review! Some additional comments below:
- Sims2aholic8 Thank you for the response, however you still have some issues to be worked on. The copyvio is still too high from the Christophe Goossens direct quote, change "participation history, and has" → "participation history and has", remove wikilink on France Gall in the Congratulations, remove wikilinks on the articles I identified as redirects in participation overview and wikilink Luxembourgish to itself instead. --K. Peake 21:15, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake: Thanks for pointing out those additional areas which I missed the first time, almost all of which I believe I have resolved. I have removed the quote entirely, and the copyvio score is now below 20% (the highest of 18% is for a betting company article which repeats similar wording several times). As I said above, with regards to the redirected song articles, there is a case to be made to retain these links per WP:NOTBROKEN; I am also curious as to why you point out those three songs in particular, as there are several other links to redirects within that table and none of these redirects violate WP:SELFRED (the three you mentioned in particular redirect to sub-articles about those yearly participations and not to this article). Sims2aholic8 (talk) 08:00, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- ✓ Pass now, I understand your reasoning for these points so they can be let to slid! --K. Peake 09:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Sims2aholic8 (talk) 13:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC).
@Sims2aholic8: Article is long enough and listed as GA same day as DYK nom. Article is well-sourced, presentable, and free from copyvio. All hooks are interesting and sourced. The problem I have with both the nomination and the article is the use of a user-generated blog as a source. This needs to be either replaced in both the article and nomination before approval.
- @Kimikel: Thanks for pointing that out! I've now replaced this reference with a new more reliable source, which should hopefully satisfy your concern. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 17:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
I'm really not trying to be difficult so I apologize, but this also appears to be a blog (it says as much here). I'm just going to go ahead and approve ALT0 and ALT2 since they meet the criteria. Thank you for your nomination Sims2aholic8! Kimikel (talk) 20:44, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
