733:. What is definitely a reason to quickfail, and the reason I gave, is that the article text's adherence to its sources is abysmal. This is something not debatable. I can understand you feeling disheartened - I've had a GAN open for 9 months (I think it was, indeed, exactly 9 months) be quickfailed, and I wasn't happy. But if you read my comment instead of let your emotions dictate, I think you'll understand. I'm making this edit to add, because I don't want this reply to sound harsh, that it's just very much a hard line on the source issue. I also can't imagine your disappoint after the mess with the other review. I would be happy to help out, I've reviewed other Eurovision articles and got
574:- the source seems to confirm that ER (in the source, ERR) was an Estonian partner broadcaster for the contest, or sponsoring the artists, at least. It doesn't contain any other information in the table row, presumably in the other two sources. Of course, if the ER channel Raadio 2 being a broadcaster is supported in one or both of the other sources, then this dubious one is also superfluous in sourcing that information, and it should be removed.

raised can be easily solved, and there is nothing about this article which is inherently rotten, but instead of working with me to improve the article and pass it, you've decided to quick-fail it after it had been waiting around for nine months. I will be escalating this review, as I don't believe the result is justified and I would like a second opinion to either confirm or deny this.

None of this is on you, you're just doing your job, more just an explanation of my frame of mind when I left the above reply. When I find the time I will definitely take on board the improvement points above and submit this for a second pass at GA.
610:- confirms TVE1 (TVE/La Primera) broadcasting and José Luis Uribarri commentating on the contest. Tick rather than question mark as this is most of the information, but this is AGF that TVE Internacional is mentioned in one of the other two sources (with the third perhaps unnecessary?) and, looking at this record, I'm not sure how much good faith can be granted.

Thank you for your review. I have to say however, for the record because it has to be said somewhere, that I have found the Good
Article nomination process for this article to be one of the most disheartening things I've yet seen on Knowledge. I have been waiting since July 2022 for a review of this
679:
Quickfail - the article will need substantial work to meet criteria. Here, the article text adherence to its sources is not good. I would suggest a full examination of all sources and the text they cite before renomination. I have left comments covering most other GA criteria, for other improvements
660:
5% of sources are poorly adhered to, with even more being dubious in utility. Of course, that's the raw figures taking the 7 bad ones here out of all 139. If the source check is representative of the whole article, that would be 50% of sources that are not adhered to/article text not accurate to

622:- confirms Yle broadcasting and Jani Juntunen commentating. There are six references here combined for three rows of information. This source seems to relate to the top row, so at least splitting the refs up to be aligned with their info would be a step to making it easy to verify.
415:
I don't believe the album cover art is acceptable under fair use, as it is not either primary identification in an article about the album, nor substantially different from the contest logo to warrant further identification (cover art specific and
654:- no mention of 1997 or House of Eurovision. I assume these are in the other source used for the sentence, but then this one is unnecessary. Of course, it also seems contradictory. Again, do we need less information or a fact-check here?
503:- the source does confirm Hilmarsson was the singer for Iceland in 1988 and 1991, and it confirms he provided backing vocals in 1999, but it doesn't say he was backing vocals for Selma. Another source will be needed to corroborate this.

I do appreciate now with a calmer head that failing was probably the right call, however frustrating that still remains. It just wasn't the most pleasant thing to wake up to and to see in my inbox (living in

515:- the article says Fors represented Sweden at Eurovision as part of Blond, while the source only says he won Melodifestivalen as part of Blond. Of course, the statement in the article seems true; I suggest adding

In some places, fluffy language is used, e.g. instead of naming people they are described - just use the name unless their profession is their main relevance (in the case of Dana
International, it isn't)
