Will be reviewing this article as part of the GAN Backlog Drive of April to May 2020.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "which was to be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands." - a word missing between the words "was" and "to" can be either scheduled or due
• "ERT has stated Stefania will instead represent Greece at the 2021 Contest." - the word in bold does not need to start with a capital letter

Background

• "Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004," - 2004 contest
• Wikilink 2018 contest to the relevant article and the year 2019 to Eurovision Song Contest 2019
• The final two sentences of the first paragraph lack reliable source(s)
• resulting in the renaming of NERIT to ERT; ERT began broadcasting once again on 11 June 2015." - Try not to have the last word of a sentence start the next one like this
• "The Greek broadcaster has used various methods to select the Greek entry in the past," - nation's
• The entire third paragraph in this section requires reliable source(s) to verify the information contained within it
• "From 2010 through 2017," - sounds awfully AmEng, how about to?

Internal selection

• "the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) announced" - the full name isn't needed since it is mentioned in the previous subsection; just the mention of the acryonms will suffice

At Eurovision

• "On 28 January 2020, the allocation draw was held," - how about adding where exactly the allocation draw was held?
• "Fokas Evangelinos was hired to organize" - should be organise since it is a European contest
• "choreography for the performance.[11][2]" - refs in numerical order please
• "with Stefania for the next contest in 2021." - Wikilink the text in bold to Eurovision Song Contest 2021

Alternative song contests

• "Austria's ORF aired" - broadcast is more formal
• "the best-placed in each semi-final advanced to the final round." - best-placed entry or best-placed country

References

• References 2 and 12 is missing the publisher of the article
• Reference 4 is missing the agency who provided the story to Deutsche Welle
• References 8 and 11 are missing the dates the articles were published
• Reference 9 is missing the author, publication date and the title should be in the language it was written with the English translation in the trans-title= field
• The title of Reference 12 should be in the language it was written and the English translation in the trans-title= field

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to respond/query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 12:19, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@MWright96: I've made all the changes you've requested, except I've swapped out the DW source with an alternative and reworded the last paragraph of the Background section to avoid wp:synthesis issues. Grk1011 (talk) 16:55, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

@Grk1011: Now promoting to GA class. I've archived one link that was dead and referenced an unverified portion of text in the article. MWright96 (talk) 17:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks! Grk1011 (talk) 17:20, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
