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
"which will represent Russia" → "which would represent Russia"

Before Eurovision

Evrovidenie "Pesnya-95"

Wikilink Philipp Kirkorov on the img text
"jury came to" → "the jury came to"
Everything's done - Danilmay (talk) 00:02, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Table looks good!

Internal selection

"due to the group's members inability" → "due to the members' inability"
Wikilink Philip Kirkorov
Wikilink music video

At Eurovision

Img looks good!
Pipe previous year's contest to Eurovision Song Contest 1994
"participation in 1994 contest" → "participation in the 1994 contest"
"didn't participate in 1994 contest." → "didn't participate in this contest."
"in 1994 contest," → "in the 1994 contest," but where is this 17 part sourced?
"Philipp Kirkorov took part in" → "Kirkorov took part in"
"on 8 and 10 May," → "on 8 and 10 May 1995,"
"wearing white shirt and" → "wearing a white shirt and"
"was the Russia's worst placing" → "was Russia's worst placing"
"had won the contest;" → "had emerged as winners;"
"the Russian singer."" only keep inside speech marks if this is a full sentence per MOS:QUOTE

Voting

"for 1995 contest," → "for the Eurovision Song Contest 1995," since this is a new sub section
"to the ten highest-ranking songs" → "to the 10 highest-ranking songs" per MOS:NUM
"assembled 16-member jury panel," → "assembled a 16-member jury panel,"
