[edit] Eurovision Song Contest

Hi. I disagree with your removal of that paragraph. Could you please start a discussion on the article's talk page about it? This paragraph was present when the article passed Featured Article status, and no-one said there was anything wrong with it. I understand your point about it being unreferenced, but not every single sentence needs a citation - and the rest of the article speaks for the truth of the paragraph. I would say that the fact that it's one of the most watched non-sporting events in the world (a referenced statement), and the list of participants, quite nicely back up the fact that it's currently a contest of "mammoth proportions" - and the section on national selections shows just what a household name it is.
