What does the term "Draw" mean in the tables? Some confusion, as I've heard it used to mean "tie". Consider ordering in terms of placement - winner first, then runner-up, etc...or pick a different term

The Melodi Grand Prix section should be reordered - I would suggest putting "Format" after either "Planning" or "Entries", and possibly incorporating "Schedule" into the rest of the text

The article could use a few more wikilinks, but the same term should not be linked more than a couple of times

Hey all. I'll be reviewing this article for possible GA status. Cheers,
