they failed to qualify through the semi-final. for consistency throughout all eurovision articles, only countries that actually withdrew should be listed under withdrawing countries. the number of participating countries should also changed to reflect the total number participating.(including those that failed to qualify through the semi-final.) 84.213.46.153 ( talk) 18:40, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
Looking at the qualification table, I suspect the EBU treated not qualifying in 1996 as 0 points - I've never heard that Israel withdrew voluntarily from 1997, and can't find any source whatsoever to back that up. If you treat their NQ in 1996 as 0 points, their average score drops below that of Bosnia, which would then fit perfectly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TF100 ( talk • contribs) 09:50, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
Is there any reason it was "Eurosong" for just this year? The official website merely notes it in passing, and researching it with Google is difficult. It stands out because the Father Ted episode " A Song for Europe" - broadcast a month earlier - goes out of its way to never use the word "Eurovision", calling the contest "Eurosong" throughout, perhaps accidentally that's actually what the contest was called that year. - Ashley Pomeroy ( talk) 14:24, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

the best results to date- Do you mean "their best results to date"?
The arena's maximum capacity of 11,500 was reduced to around 6,000 for the contest.- How can the maximum capacity of an arena be reduced? Were parts of the arena physically removed to make it smaller?
"blue room"- Can you give a brief description of what this is?
President of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina-
Romania and Russia- Since the Oxford comma has been used previously in the article, it should be added here as well.
stev, jazz and Norwegian folk music- Missing an Oxford comma.
The winner was Ireland represented by the song "The Voice"- Missing a comma after "Ireland".
Estonia and Portugal- Missing an Oxford comma.
Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but it may be repeated if helpful for readers, such as in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, hatnotes, and at the first occurrence in a section, therefore I believe that links within the tables should remain. In many cases I believe readers will go directly to specific tables to find the information they are looking for, and I believe that removing the links here would be remove important functionality to aid users in finding links to other relevant articles. Additionally not every link that has the same output (e.g. country names) will have the same link; some articles, such as in the tables, go to the individual "country in contest by year" articles (e.g. Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1996) while others will link to the overall "country in contest" (e.g. Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest). I believe this distinction in linkage is required depending on the contest of the paragraph or table. There are very few instances where there are links to the actual country articles themselves (zero now I believe with the removal of the [[Norway]] links), and within prose I believe that any instance of repeat linkage to a given article has been addressed.

As to the sequence: "NRK introduced visual effects to the contest for the first time. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) was featured as overlays during the broadcast of the competing entries [...]"
As far as I can see, none of the sources quoted support these claims. "Visual effects" is a very broad term, in my opinion. Already a simple animation, such as Eurocat in 1990, is a visual effect, right? So it's not entirely clear what "first time" is being referred to here. I can neither understand in which aspect the "overlays" (giving the title, artists and country of each entry, shown briefly at the bottom as an animated overlay during the performances) are new. There are similar overlays in the 1994 contest, for example. EurovisionLibrarian ( talk) 15:13, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
