Another review for you, will get through this today! --K. Peake 08:44, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Infobox looks good!
• "and presented by" → "it was presented by" and I would suggest after this, starting a new sentence at where the contest was held
• Per overly short size of the second paragraph, merge this with the first para
• Where is the top five sourced as being the third time?

• This is included and sourced within the "Contest overview" section, and therefore does not need to be sourced in the lead. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:55, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

• Pipe Sweden to Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest

Location

• Img looks good!
• The second staging sentence reads as too long; I think it would be better if after the first comma, you wrote something like "ten years after the 1975 contest was held in Stockholm." only
• Introduce the full name of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) here with the wikilink since it is the first mention
• "which was held on the evening of 1 May" → "hosted on the evening of 1 May 1985" to be less repetitive with usage of held

Participating countries

• First para and img look good!
• Listing all of the participating artists in one sentence with so many clauses feels very excessive especially when there are many areas this could be split up; start a new sentence at the Hot Eyes mention that goes into Al Bano and Romina Power, then one for Chips that ends at Mariella Farré; from these examples, I will let you take it from there and then re-assess
• Table looks good!

Production and format

• "produced by the Swedish public broadcaster Sveriges Television (SVT)." → "produced by SVT." since their full name has already been introduced; do the same for the EBU
• Not all of the info for the second para's last sentence is sourced
• Remove repeat link to the 1975 contest
• Last para looks good!

Contest overview

• First para and img look good!
• "when returning to the stage" → "when she returned to the stage"
• "got caught on" → "and got caught on"
  • I don't believe this edit makes sense: this would then make the sentence "when she returned to the stage following the interval act the skirt of her outfit [...] and got caught on the set and ripped off in an apparent wardrobe malfunction" Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:14, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
• [39][7][33] should be in numerical order
• "win, and marked a" → "win and marked a"
• Table looks good!

Spokespersons

• Where are the languages sourced?

• Thanks for this spot. I've swapped out the ref to cover this. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Detailed voting results

• Good

Broadcasts

• The passive participants part is not sourced by [30]

• I've added a source to cover this. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

• The third sentence of this section does not appear to be backed up by the sources

• I've double checked these references and I believe they do back up the information in this sentence. I've made a few tweaks, which should hopefully assuage any concerns. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:40, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

• Tables look good!

Notes

References

• Copyvio score is not showing, although there is barely any quoting so it is safe as you can get to check this one off!!
• Wikilink European Broadcasting Union on ref 1
• I have my doubts about the reliability of ref 4, being that all of the writers are contributors and it is a website dedicated to horses

• Have swapped this ref for a different one which should be considered more reliable. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:51, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

• WP:OVERLINK of ARD on ref 22
• WP:OVERLINK of Leeuwarder Courant and Delpher on ref 56
