Eurovision Song Contest 2015 was a good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | ||||||||||

Frequently asked questions Q1: Why does this article refer to the
Republic of Macedonia as
Macedonia? Shouldn't this country be referred to as the F.Y.R. Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), as that is what the
European Broadcasting Union (EBU) call it in the contest to avoid confusion with
Greek Macedonia?
A1: Previously the practice on Eurovision Song Contest articles was to universally refer to the Republic of Macedonia as the F.Y.R. Macedonia, as this was the name the EBU used. However, this practice was overridden by wider community
consensus established at
Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia). The current guideline establishes Macedonia as the general term for the county throughout Wikipedia, even if the article is about an international organisation which uses a different naming practice e.g. the Eurovision Song Contest. In Eurovision Song Contest articles the inclusion of the
flag for the Republic of Macedonia and the context of Macedonia being listed with other countries makes the risk of confusion low. However, the term F.Y.R. Macedonia, as it is used in the contest, may still be reported once in individual Eurovision Song Contest articles as necessary.

I am wondering whether it is really necessary to format the section with the prospective host cities as it currently is. I think it looks a bit of a mess with pictures missing and boxes with nothing in. Can we not just use the same format as with the 2016 contest? I think it looks a lot neater and takes up less space.
