Infobox and lead

• Ellinikós Telikós 2012 should be italicised in the infobox
• Wikilink Athens
• "facing the nation at the time," → "facing Greece at the time,"
• "with the majority of it taking place online." this is not directly mentioned in the body
• "of the 2012 contest," → "of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012,"
• "Eleftheriou was randomly selected" → "Greece was randomly selected"

Background

• Target "Die for You" to (I Would) Die for You
• Target Antique to Antique (band)

• Not all of the "such as" part appears to be sourced, unless Google translate is not working properly for me
• "in the 2012 contest citing to the contest's" → "in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012, citing the contest's"

Before Eurovision

Ellinikós Telikós 2012

• "reaffirming that they would" → "reaffirming that Greece would"
• The source only mentions that a record label was seeked for participation, not anything about it being major
• The types of costs mentions do not appear to be sourced

For the above two items, To Paron (translated) For this reason, ERT consulted the largest record companies that have an international network or are national divisions of international networks, in order to participate in the costs of our participation in the Competition (such as the production and recording of candidate songs , cd production, promotions, fees for creative and artistic contributors, travel and accommodation in Baku, etc.). I have added this ref to the end of the sentence pair. Grk1011 (talk) 17:26, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

• "on a national final titled" → "on a national final entitled"

Competing entries

• "and Velvet Fire were" → "and Velvet Fire, were" but apart from the Universal Music Greece part, the info of the first two sentence does not appear to be sourced
• The Hellenic Radio stations part is not directly mentioned by the source

The above two are now fixed. I think I had reworded this for flow, but swapped some of the refs by accident. Grk1011 (talk) 17:26, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until all of the issues are fixed; marks a change reviewing a non-San Marino article from you for once! --K. Peake 17:42, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

It was much easier to write about an entry that I liked! Most of the sources were easy to locate, though for a couple items I removed some extra detail that wasn't obvious from the sources. Should be good to go unless I inadvertently introduced new issues! Grk1011 (talk) 17:26, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Grk1011 This is a well-written article on your part evidently; about the types of costs mentions, I made sure specifically at the time to write "do not appear to be sourced" since I knew there could be a translation issue. ✓ Pass now, you worked through the issues well even if it reduced size at points like you said! --K.
