Q1: Why does this article refer to the Republic of Macedonia as Macedonia? Shouldn't this country be referred to as the F.Y.R. Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), as that is what the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) call it in the contest to avoid confusion with Greek Macedonia?
A1: Previously the practice on Eurovision Song Contest articles was to universally refer to the Republic of Macedonia as the F.Y.R. Macedonia, as this was the name the EBU used. However, this practice was overridden by wider community consensus established at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia). The current guideline establishes Macedonia as the general term for the county throughout Wikipedia, even if the article is about an international organisation which uses a different naming practice e.g. the Eurovision Song Contest. In Eurovision Song Contest articles the inclusion of the flag for the Republic of Macedonia and the context of Macedonia being listed with other countries makes the risk of confusion low. However, the term F.Y.R. Macedonia, as it is used in the contest, may still be reported once in individual Eurovision Song Contest articles as necessary.

Results tables[edit]
Am I the only one who thinks those tables are really hard to understand. Why doesn't every table have the total points which are actually in the table, i.e. the total jury points in the jury table. Instead, in the jury tables one can see the televoting totals and vice versa, which makes for a really clumsy experience, when browsing? Can that be amended in any way? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.38.130.151 (talk) 20:46, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
it is officially KYIV 2017[edit]

- You argument should be directed to Talk:Kiev/Naming, basically it's not going to change. -- AxG / ✉ 20:17, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Pedantic point[edit]
Was 'The Voice' triple meter or compound duple meter? The last true triple meter winner may have been Nocturne. Aspirex (talk) 21:01, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
