Flyby comments: Reference 10 links to an article about the 2018 contest. I think the link just needs to be fixed. Re: Lindita vs Lindita Halimi, we need to use just "Lindita" as that is how she was listed at the contest. The background section should contain 3 paragraphs, performance, selection process background, and broadcaster explanation. Other than that, looks good!

Grk1011 Many thanks for your good faith comments, but the background section is fine as it is since the other parts you mentioned have tables and it will be awkward having all of them in background. As for the link, I accidentally missed that; it is the only fix needed. --

The background section is more of a requirement for the WikiProject. We have an established format in these sorts of articles. I'll take a stab at it. Please see
Romania 2020 and
Greece 2020 for examples of what this section needs to be.

Grk1011 Albania's participation in the ESC is in interaction with Festivali i Kenges, since it is used (since its debut in 2004) as the national competition to select the nation's entry for the contest. Therefore all relevant informations are given in the Festivali i Këngës section.--

Iaof2017 Glad to see you did implement the change that we all agreed on, but I would recommend assessing the article's importance in the Albania WikiProject. --

The background section would explain what the festival is and that it is used as the selection process. This is a summary article, so it needs to summarize these aspects. Currently it just sort of jumps into it without explaining what it is. It also doesn't explain what RTSH is and its importance. These are pretty universal throughout similar pages and can be found in all of the Good Articles of this sequence (additional examples:
Netherlands 2014,
Spain 2013,
Austria 2014,
Malta 2016). These were all done by various editors of the project, not just myself. If we were to diverge from that format, we would need a very convincing argument.
Regarding her name, I think it could be said that she participated in the festival as her full name (per sources), but at Eurovision, the main topic of this article, all sources just use "Lindita".
