Frequently asked questions

Q1: Why does this article refer to the Republic of Macedonia as Macedonia? Shouldn't this country be referred to as the F.Y.R. Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), as that is what the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) call it in the contest to avoid confusion with Greek Macedonia?

A1: Previously the practice on Eurovision Song Contest articles was to universally refer to the Republic of Macedonia as the F.Y.R. Macedonia, as this was the name the EBU used. However, this practice was overridden by wider community consensus established at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Macedonia). The current guideline establishes Macedonia as the general term for the county throughout Wikipedia, even if the article is about an international organisation which uses a different naming practice e.g. the Eurovision Song Contest. In Eurovision Song Contest articles the inclusion of the flag for the Republic of Macedonia and the context of Macedonia being listed with other countries makes the risk of confusion low. However, the term F.Y.R. Macedonia, as it is used in the contest, may still be reported once in individual Eurovision Song Contest articles as necessary.

This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Eurovision Song Contest 2013 was one of the Music good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria.

New column in split results

@Sims2aholic8: As I mentioned in a comment next to the collumn, I decided to add an "Average collumn" as an average value of the jury and the tele averages. Thought it would be a good idea since we don't have points for jury and tele to have a sort of a "bridge" between points and averages. ImStevan (talk) 18:03, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article review

It has been a while since this article was reviewed, so I took a look and noticed that there were uncited statements, including entire pargaraphs. It also has a "more citations needed" orange banner at the top of the "Broadcasts" section. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 16:16, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
