Rumour

"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)[reply]

debate

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Infobox and lead

  • 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

  • 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

  • "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

  • 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

  • "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

  • 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

Heads of delegation

  • Good, apart from the table which I do not see the purpose of for one event

Conductors

  • I don't think a comma is needed before "or"
  • Centre the ref column

Jury members

  • "participation history, and has" → "participation history and has"
  • Remove pipe on RTL Hei Elei

Commentators and spokespersons

  • 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

  • This should be wrote out in prose since it is only one person

Photo gallery

  • Good

Notes and references

Notes

  • Good

References

  • 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

  •  On hold until all of the issues are fixed after this two-day review! --K. Peake 21:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
