Infobox and lead

• The songwriters are not directly sourced anywhere in the body as they should be
• Wikilink Philipp Kirkovov in the lead
• "to select Russian entrant." → "to select the Russian entrant."
• To avoid the lead being too cluttered, you should start a new para at Vocal Band
• "due to the band members being" → "due to the members being"
• Wikilink music video
• I think it is worth noting that the placing was their worst result

Background

• Introduce RTR and ORT by their full names per this being the first mentions in the body

• "didn't participate in 1994 contest." → "didn't participate in this contest."

References

• Copyvio score looks phenomenal at 4.8%!!!!
• Why is EBU only in brackets on ref 1?

  Can you explain in more detail what needs to be done, because I tried to fix it, but it got worse and messy. Danilmay (talk) 00:02, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

• Ref 4 is government owned, so are you sure about the reliability?

  Removed - Danilmay (talk) 00:02, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

• Fix MOS:QWQ issues with ref 7 and what exactly makes this source reliable?

  Removed - Danilmay (talk) 00:02, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

  Removed - Danilmay (talk) 00:02, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

  Done - Danilmay (talk) 00:02, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

• Is ref 20 WP:USERG?

Danilmay MOS:QWQ issues are when you have used double speech marks inside reference titles; replace with singular ones ('). --K. Peake 15:17, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
