# Talk:San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2012

Is there a national final? I'd like to see a reference... CoolAbc (talk) 11:22, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

The user that created the article is a sockpuppet of Diogomauricio3 (talk · contribs), which is now being dealt with. Chances are, everything in the article was a hoax. CT Cooper · talk 11:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

I will review this now, after having been caught up in a large review before it resulted in a failure. --K. Peake 15:08, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


### Infobox and lead
Infobox looks good!
"throughout Europe, and interviews" → "throughout Europe and interviews"
Target grand final to Eurovision Song Contest 2012#Final


### Background
"the respective grand final." → "the respective grand finals."
"which it achieved in" → "which they achieved in"


### Before Eurovision
#### Internal selection
Target SMRTV to San Marino RTV on the img text
Wikilink Eurovision Song Contest 2012
Where is the "expert jury" part backed up?
"On 16 March, two days" → "On 16 March 2012, two days"
"her selection, her song," → "her selection, Monetta's song,"
"on the network" what network? Please specify.


#### Disqualification
"On 18 March," → "On 18 March 2012,"
"breached the contest's" → "breached the Eurovision Song Contest's"
"by the European Broadcasting Union" → "by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)" with the wikilink
"the new version titled" → "the new version entitled"
Remove wikilink on "The Social Network Song" since you targeted to that from the original title earlier
"composer Seigel stated that" → "Seigel stated that"
"of the music video, and" → "of the music video and" with the wikilink


#### Promotion
Remove wikilink on music video
"and trip to" → "and a weekend trip to" since the source offers a mention of this
"In mid April," → "In mid April 2012,"
The "club Melkweg" part of the sentence does not appear to be sourced
"in early May" → "in early May 2012"


### At Eurovision
Target grand final to Eurovision Song Contest 2012#Final
"at Buta Palace" → "at the Buta Palace"
[26] should be solely at the end of the para, as it backs up the last two sentences
"by five backing dancers" → "by five backing artists performing while"
[28][24] should be put in numerical order


#### Voting
"the semi-final and grand final." → "the semi-final and grand final, respectively."
"marked the nation's" → "marked San Marino's"
[24][23] put in numerical order


##### Points awarded to San Marino
Good


##### Points awarded by San Marino
Good

### Final comments and verdict
 On hold until all of the issues are fixed, but this is a great article! --K. Peake 18:14, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! I've made the changes you've requested. I fixed the links on the ESC 2012 page instead as it should be "Grand" final there as well. For Melkweg, it is in the source, but it can translate as "milky way", so maybe it wasn't clear? Grk1011 (talk) 19:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
 Pass, nice job on fixing the link on the main article for ESC 2012, though you are right about the source translation; I remember the same issue in my previous review for you. --K. Peake 21:46, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
