Here is the second Eurovision review, as this has been in the queue for way too long! --K. Peake 09:57, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Infobox and lead

edit
  • Infobox looks good!
  • Like the previous review, start a new sentence at the part about where the concert was held
  • The lead is poorly structured again; the sentence about the nineteen countries should be the last of the first para and then merge the current third para with the second one
  • "made its first entry," → "made its first entry in the concert,"

Location

edit
  • "in southern Stockholm opened in" → "of southern Stockholm opened in" to avoid overusage of in
  • [5][6] needn't be invoked mid-sentence when they are already at the end of this sentence
  • Add EBU in brackets
  • "and future event," → "and future events,"

Participating countries

edit
  • "A total of nineteen countries" → "A total of 19 countries" per MOS:NUM
  • Img looks good!
  • Table looks good!

Production and format

edit
  • What exactly does [11] source for the first two sentences?
  • For the majority of other years, these pages also contain the names of the executive producers and directors. This information is missing for this year however. I've now moved this ref to be immediately after the broadcaster responsible for producing the event. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 16:11, 5 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Simply shorten to SR here since you have already mentioned them earlier
  • "served as designer, and" → "served as designer and"
  • "the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), the event" → "the EBU, the event"
  • Regarding the references for the last sentence of the second para, [18] and [22] appear to only source the penultimate sentence unless I'm missing something here?
  • "for the competing began on Wednesday 19 March," → "for the competition began on 19 March 1975,"
  • Start a new sentence at "this was followed that evening" to avoid a run-on
  • [9] should be invoked every two sentences for the first four sentences
  • "who felt that during the" → "Bakker felt that during the" as a new sentence since this is much too long currently

Voting procedure

edit
  • "as an compromise awarding" → "as a compromise awarding"
  • "the United Kingdom's BBC proposed" → "the UK's BBC proposed"
  • Mention that the subsequent editions are up to 2024

Contest overview

edit
  • Imgs look good!
  • "of the nineteen participating countries," → "of the 19 participating countries," per MOS:NUM
  • Italicise Among Gnomes and Trolls
  • "composed by Dick Bakker, written by" → "composed by Bakker, written by"
  • "The United Kingdom came second" → "The UK came second"

Spokespersons

edit
  • The info about each country nominating a spokesperson and them announcing does not appear to be sourced
    • This information was again included within an old version of this page. I've set the reference to dead so that the old version appears within the link instead.

Detailed voting results

edit
  • All good!

Broadcasts

edit
  • "was prevented by Sveriges Radio," → "was prevented by SR,"
  • Nice job on centering the refs!
  • Shouldn't BBC 1 have a space?

Notes

edit
  • Good

References

edit
  • Copyvio score looks incredible at 10.7%!!!
  • Shouldn't Stockholm only be linked on the first instance per WP:OVERLINK?
  • Cite Sveriges Radio as publisher instead on ref 5
  • Pipe Melville House UK to Melville House Publishing on ref 7
  • Are you sure ref 8 is reliable since it looks like a Wiki duplicate?
  • Wikilink Telos Publishing on ref 9
  • WP:OVERLINK of Prestatyn on refs 10, 12, 16, 21, 23, 25 and 26
  • WP:OVERLINK of Sveriges Television on ref 27 if ref 8 is kept
  • WP:OVERLINK of Het Vrije Volk and Rotterdam on refs 43 and 63
  • WP:OVERLINK of Radiocorriere TV on ref 59
  • WP:OVERLINK of Times of Malta and Birkirkara on ref 62
  • WP:OVERLINK of Madrid on refs 67 and 69
  • WP:OVERLINK of BBC Genome Project on refs 81 and 82
edit
  • Good
