I'll give reviewing this one a shot. Wizardman 21:48, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I sincerely look forward to reading your views. A similar article (ABU Radio Song Festival 2012) has recently been given GA classification, and I have done my best to maintain the suggestions made by the reviewer on that particular GA review, onto this article also.

Finally got around to this. Here are the issues I found:

  • The two http://www.abu.org.my/ references are deadlinked. I'm sure there's an archive of them though.
  • "début" is there supposed to be the accent mark on debut? First time I've seen that so not sure if it was a stylistic choice or ideal because of the location of the event. Would prefer removal.
  • Make sure all the dashes ( - ) are changed to –. Also there's spaces between the dash in the lead, but not later on. Keep it consistent, would prefer no spaces.
  • "never produced any overall results." rm overall, doesn't really add anything to the sentence.
  • "while the Radio Song Festival being the competitive version." Festival was the competitive
  • " but are scheduled to" but is
  • " countries of Asia-Pacific region" of the
  • Rather than just a synopsis of Seoul, could something be added about why the city was chosen first or when it was decided?

I'll put the article on hold and will pass it when the issues are fixed. Wizardman 04:16, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • In regards to the deadlinks, how would one find an archived version? I'm not overly familiar in creating/using archive links.
  • Spell-checker doesn't recognise the word début without the accent mark. Also the word has been used on similar articles such as Eurovision Song Contest 1957. Although I have rephrased it to read as "...confirmed their participation in the first edition of the competition."
  • I've removed the word "overall", and also made the other grammatical changed as per suggestions.
  • In regards to the synopsis of Seoul. It was decided via discussion at WT:ESC that such articles like this would include a brief summary of the host city, based on the information used on the relevant city article, with a hatnote linking to the article itself for people who wish to read more about a host city. There was no real sources/new articles to explicitly state why Seoul had been chosen, other than the city was also playing host to the ABU's General Assembly. The same synopsis has also been used on the ABU Radio Festival article. Wesley♦Mouse 12:51, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For any dead links, you'll want to check archive.org and hope that there's an old link that can be used. In this case there was so I went ahead and added it in. Since everything else checks out I'll pass the article. Wizardman 21:29, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2013 dates confirmed

The date for the 2nd ABU TV Song Festival has been confirmed as 26 October 2013, and will take place in Hanoi, Vietnam - Vietnam Television will be host broadcaster (ESCKaz). Still not enough sources or further information though to enable us to create an article for it at this stage. Wesley♦Mouse 02:54, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

TVXQ photo

I just happened to notice the the picture of TVXQ used in this article is of the group's configuration prior to 2010. By 2012, when this event occurred, the people in that photograph were no longer members of TVXQ and definitely didn't perform at the event. It's a rather sensitive subject for many people, so an updated photo might be appropriate. :) Shinyang-i (talk) 04:03, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Shinyang-i: If a new image can be found that does not violate WP:COPYVIO, then be bold and update the article. Thanks. Wes Mouse | T@lk 10:04, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Was kinda already working on a hundred other things and images are not my area of expertise, but okay, done. Shinyang-i (talk) 11:46, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
