'Draw' on the left hand side of the Finals table

edit

Why does this list the draw positions incorrectly? Most of the countries have their draw position listed wrongly, eg Finland sang 24th, not 6th, Spain sang 25th not 16th. The correct draw positions are listed in the table with the scoring breakdown.Vauxhall1964 (talk) 12:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Looks like it could have been a glitch. I'll fix this shortly. WesleyMouse 15:07, 11 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Scoreboard for semi final 1

edit

I think there are some errors in the scoreboard for the first semi final. Some of the points for Romania are missing, and it looks like Belarus gave 10 points twice. Aejsing (talk) 16:50, 26 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have fixed it now :-) Aejsing (talk) 20:24, 9 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Use of flax to denote the jury wildcard

edit

I think another colour should be used, as flax is too similar to the other qualifiers' navajo white to be immediately recognisable as a different colour, and looks more like an error than a feature. Perhaps a colour with a stronger contrast, such as blue? dummelaksen (talk) 21:29, 21 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Inconsistency: Languages of Sweden and Turkey

edit

In the participants and results tables, the entry of Sweden is said to be sung in "French, English" in the semi-final, but "English, French" in the final. There should be more consistency regarding the order of languages. Is it decided upon the percentage of lyrics each language has, or which language appears first in the lyrics ?

Also, the Turkish entry is said to have been sung in English in the semi-final, but English and Turkish in the final. Is this correct ? If yes, an explanatory note should be added, cf. the explanatory note for the Turkish entry in 2006. --2001:A61:35AA:8B01:DC2C:9DA4:D605:1E5D (talk) 20:55, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Good that you point that out! I don't think that the order of the languages has ever been discussed before, and I'm also not sure what the order should be. I feel like it would make sense to me to have the "main" language first, so I guess the one with the most lyrics.
Regarding Turkey: from what I can tell, the song was entirely in English with a few Turkish phrases. I've changed the article to reflect that. ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 21:30, 14 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
