  • I've copy-edited the article for some changes I felt were uncontroversial instead of listing them here.
  • "the nation had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest twelve times since its first entry in 2004" I'd rewrite this "the nation had participated in every edition of the Eurovision Song Contest since its first entry in 2004."
    • The existing wording is what's used on all the other articles in this series. Grk1011 (talk) 14:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • "marking Albania's sixth non-qualification in the contest" to "marking the sixth time Albania had failed to qualify in the contest".
  • ", to this point," Seems unnecessary, should be cut.
  • "The first entry was performed by" to "Its 2004 entry was performed by"
  • "During its tenure in the contest, Albania failed to qualify for the final four times, with the 2014 entry being the most recent non-qualifier" to "Albania had previously failed to qualify for the final four times, most recently in 2014."
  • "broadcast at 20:45 (CET) on the respective dates" I'd remove "on the respective dates", it's obvious from context.
  • Images and references are okay. Spot-checks revealed no issues that I could find. AGF-ing on Albanian language refs.
  • Not required at the GA level, but the Albanian refs should have a translated title in English.
  • That's all I got.

@AryKun: I don't know what's happened to @Iaof2017: but if he doesn't return, I can swoop in and take this over from him. Let me know how many days more you're willing to wait on this one. Grk1011 (talk) 13:31, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm fine waiting another week or two. AryKun (talk) 13:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Grk1011 You can address the comments for the Albania articles since Iaof2017 seems to be on a break. AryKun (talk) 09:22, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @AryKun: I've made most of the requested changes plus some additional copyedits. Please check it out. I will look at the other articles in this series over the next couple days! Grk1011 (talk) 14:04, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @AryKun: checking in. I addressed the issues on this article and the three others in the series almost a week ago. Today’s the last day of the GA drive, so not sure if you’re trying to get the points or not. I’m not sure I’ll have much time later to make any additional changes before the end in a couple hours.
