• "Romania ultimately reached fourth place in the contest's Grand Final," - the date of the Grand Final of Eurovision 2006 is missing here

Selecția Națională 2006

• "a competition in order to select their entrant for the Eurovision Song Contest 2006." - the words "in order" are redundant in this sentence
• "was eventually disqualified from the contest due to having received television and radio airplay" - the text in bold should be written as due to the song for clarity and completeness
• "to 1 October 2005, TVR's cutoff date." - to TVR's cutoff date of 1 October 2005.

• "A reported €160,000 were" - was

Voting

• "Below is a breakdown of points awarded to Romania in the Grand Final, as well as by Romania in the semi-final" - try not to repeat the country's name in the same sentence
• "Romania finished in fourth position, being awarded a total of 172 points including 12 by Moldova and Spain, as well as ten by" - 172 points, including 12 by Moldova and Spain, and ten from Cyprus, Israel, Malta and Portugal.
