=Lead=

  • "which was to be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands." - a word missing between the words "was" and "to" can be either {{xt|scheduled}} or {{xt|due}}
  • "ERT has stated Stefania will instead represent Greece at the 2021 Contest." - the word in bold does not need to start with a capital letter

=Background=

  • "Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004," - {{xt|2004 contest}}
  • Wikilink 2018 contest to the relevant article and the year 2019 to Eurovision Song Contest 2019
  • The final two sentences of the first paragraph lack reliable source(s)
  • resulting in the renaming of NERIT to ERT; ERT began broadcasting once again on 11 June 2015." - Try not to have the last word of a sentence start the next one like this
  • "The Greek broadcaster has used various methods to select the Greek entry in the past," - {{xt|nation's}}
  • The entire third paragraph in this section requires reliable source(s) to verify the information contained within it
  • "From 2010 through 2017," - sounds awfully AmEng, how about {{xt|to}}?

=Internal selection=

  • "the Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) announced" - the full name isn't needed since it is mentioned in the previous subsection; just the mention of the acryonms will suffice

=At Eurovision=

  • "On 28 January 2020, the allocation draw was held," - how about adding where exactly the allocation draw was held?
  • "Fokas Evangelinos was hired to organize" - should be {{xt|organise}} since it is a European contest
  • "choreography for the performance.[11][2]" - refs in numerical order please
  • "with Stefania for the next contest in 2021." - Wikilink the text in bold to Eurovision Song Contest 2021

=Alternative song contests=

  • "Austria's ORF aired" - {{xt|broadcast}} is more formal
  • "the best-placed in each semi-final advanced to the final round." - {{xt|best-placed entry}} or {{xt|best-placed country}}

=References=

  • References 2 and 12 is missing the publisher of the article
  • Reference 4 is missing the agency who provided the story to Deutsche Welle
  • References 8 and 11 are missing the dates the articles were published
  • Reference 9 is missing the author, publication date and the title should be in the language it was written with the English translation in the trans-title= field
  • The title of Reference 12 should be in the language it was written and the English translation in the trans-title= field

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to respond/query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 12:19, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

:{{ping|MWright96}} I've made all the changes you've requested, except I've swapped out the DW source with an alternative and reworded the last paragraph of the Background section to avoid wp:synthesis issues. Grk1011 (talk) 16:55, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

::{{reply|Grk1011}} Now promoting to GA class. I've archived one link that was dead and referenced an unverified portion of text in the article. MWright96 (talk) 17:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
