Improved to Good Article status by Grk1011 (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 16:51, 23 October 2022 (UTC). at 19:19, 23 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/American Song Contest; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • Article has recently been GA reviewed. Earwig reports a copyvio of this source, but I can see that the copied text is just a list that can't really be rewritten any other way. The main problem I have is that the citations given don't really support the hook, and I'm not sure one of them is GA quality. The Billboard source pre-dates the first season coverage, while the second source only says the series won't be renewed for 2023, but it might be renewed for 2024. So you can't say "it didn't get renewed for a second season" as it may yet do so in the future. And, that brings me onto - what makes wiwibloggs.com a reliable source?

I'd suggest changing the wording to "renewed for a 2023 season" to better reflect the refs. I also added an additional ref to the article, though it's in Swedish [1]. Regarding Wiwibloggs, it is reliable source that just so happens to have blog in its name. The site lists their editorial policies, key staff and their credentials, significance in the field, etc. [2], [3] per WP:RS. Grk1011 (talk) 13:35, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
Any thoughts Onegreatjoke and Ritchie333? Grk1011 (talk) 14:50, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
I'll have to AGF on Swedish sources, not being a native speaker, but I think that would work. so that gives us ALT1 ... that there was an American version of the Eurovision Song Contest, but it didn't get renewed for a 2023 season? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:42, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
