I will start reviewing this soon, probably tomorrow --K. Peake 18:58, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Do you have thoughts RE my comment on the article's talk page, above? Grk1011 (talk) 19:10, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

 * 1 in 360 → 1in360 in the infobox
 * Mention that the participation from 2011 onward was after they did not participate in 2009 and 2010 due to financial difficulties
 * "for the Eurovision Song Contest grand final" → "for the contest's grand final"
 * Target 2012, 2013 and 2014 to their respective Eurovision Song Contest articles
 * "and achieving their best ever result" → "and achieving their best result to date"
 * "was again selected to represent the nation" → "was again set to represent San Marino"
 * "and is San Marino's" → "and is the nation's"
 * Remove target on 2020 for the second mention
 * "set by the EBU." → "set by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU)." with the wikilink
 * "vote in the contest" → "vote in the Eurovision Song Contest"

Contest history

 * "through their national broadcaster SMRTV." → "through Radiotelevisione della Repubblica di San Marino (SMRTV)." with the target, as we already know SMRTV is the broadcaster
 * "to the OGAE Italy Eurovision fanclub" → "to OGAE Italy"
 * The voting rights part is not sourced, unless I missed it
 * Clarified the wording. Grk1011 (talk) 18:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Target Italy to Italy in the Eurovision Song Contest
 * "as "a lot" → "as "[a] lot"
 * Shouldn't the first img be on the left, as it looks awkward to have two images aligned to the right in the same section?
 * Target first semi-final to Eurovision Song Contest 2008
 * "Later that year in June," → "In June 2008,"
 * "in the 2009 contest" → "in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009"
 * "the broadcaster ultimately opted" → "SMRTV ultimately opted"
 * "financial reasons preventing" → "financial reasons as preventing"
 * [13] should be solely at the end of the para, as it is used for the last two sentences
 * Target Austria to Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest
 * "and 2013 ("Crisalide (Vola)") failed to qualify San Marino to" → "and 2013 ("Crisalide (Vola)") respectively failed to qualify San Marino for"
 * Target first semi-final to Eurovision Song Contest 2014
 * I couldn't find this one. Grk1011 (talk) 19:22, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Must have been something that has since been removed from prose after the responses to my spot checks. --K. Peake 20:53, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Wikilink Malmö on the img text
 * "giving San Marino their" → "giving them their"
 * "to represent the nation" → "to represent San Marino"

Selection process

 * Remove target on 2018 contest
 * "the SMRTV had selected" → "SMRTV had selected"
 * Remove target on 2020 contest
 * Remove target on year's contest

Voting

 * "{escyr|2009||2009 contest}} through the" → "2009 contest through to the"
 * Remove target on 2015 contest
 * Remove target on 2016 contest
 * The composite score being an alternate option doesn't seem to be directly mentioned, unless I missed something
 * The Wiwibloggs ref calls it a "composite vote" so I changed the wording to that instead? Grk1011 (talk) 18:14, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I meant that despite being mentioned, it does not seem to be sourced as an alternative specifically? --K. Peake 20:53, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Added an additional ref. Grk1011 (talk) 21:06, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Remove target on 2017 contest
 * Remove target on 2019 contest

Contestants

 * The languages are not sourced
 * Added refs for each one, but hopefully eventually I'll be able to find a summary ref.. Grk1011 (talk) 19:22, 17 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Maybe change the empty rows to pending?

Heads of delegation

 * Img looks good!
 * See MOS:TABLECAPTION

Jury members

 * See MOS:TABLECAPTION

Commentators and spokespersons

 * "their respective spokesperson" → "each respective spokesperson"
 * See MOS:TABLECAPTION
