Infobox and lead

• The writers should be placed in the infobox using a list made up of asterixes on separate lines
• Under lyricists in the entry infobox, Casalino and Mengoni should only be mentioned by the surnames on the second mentions and no wikilinking by then
• The lead does not need to be four paragraphs since they are incredibly short; will help you fix where paras are below
• References should not be in the lead at all
• "The essential" should be in bold
• "is a song recorded by" → "is a song by"
• Continue the first sentence with "from his second studio album, #prontoacorrere (2013)
• "Written by" → "While written by" to flow better with the production mention in prose
• "Benedettis and Mengoni himself" → "Benedettis, and Mengoni"
• The single release sentence should directly come after this
• Second para should not begin at this point
• "After winning the" → "After it won the"
• Says here RAI but Rai 2 in the body; what's up with that difference?
• Remove wikilink on Sweden
• "finished 7th among" → "finished seventh among" per MOS:NUMBERS
• Change the release sentence to "The song was released in Italy as the album's lead single on 13 February 2013."
• The lead single release should be written out in prose as well as listed under release history
• Begin new para after the finalists sentence
• "the song was commercially successful in Italy," → "In Italy, "L'essenziale" was commercially successful,"
• Target FIMI to Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana
• Add the certifications table to cite the Italy certification so this ref shouldn't be needed here.
• "2013 in Italy" → "2013 in the country"
• Use this sentence's ref in the body to write out that it was the top selling Italian music artist song in the performance section
• "becoming a top-twenty hit in Italy" → "reaching the top 20 of the FIMI Singles Chart" and keep this as part of the above para

Background and composition

• "The song was written by Italian singer Marco Mengoni" → ""L'essenziale" was written by Mengoni"
• "in Fano, in the" → "in Fano, of the" to avoid repetitive wording
• "playing guitar and he wrote" → "playing guitar and wrote"
• "Francesco De Benedittis later contributed" → "Benedittis later contributed"
• "In the beginning of 2012" → "Early in 2012"
• "for his following album" → "for his then-upcoming album"
• A lot of the text here is not backed up by ref 8
• "lyrics and music" → "music and lyrics"
• "idea on the track" → "idea towards the track"
• "he was living a moment" → "Casalino was living a moment"
• "and he started" → "and had started"
• "like those people he really loved and who really counted in his life" → "like those people who Casalino loved and really counted in his life"
• "released to Italian magazine" → "released to the Italian magazine"
• "described the song as" → "described "L'essenziale" as"
• "expressing" → "with the expression of"
• The third para is only one sentence; either exp this para or move the sentence somewhere else to a legitimate para - maybe the following section?

Music video and promotion

• "Milan and Brescia, in" → "Milan and Brescia of"
• "the music video for" → "the video for"
• "The video was released on" → "It was released to"
• "On 28 March 2013" → "On 28 March of that year"
• "of the official music video was also released" → "of the visual was released" since also implies something else was released on the same date
• "the principle of life"." → "the principle of life."" since WP:QUOTEMARK says quoted full sentences should have punctuation inside quotes
• "and launching the album #prontoacorrere" → "and launching #prontoacorrere"
• "performed the song" → "performed the former"
• Wikilink on Sanremo Music Festival 2013
• Add what month the TV show performance was "of that year"
• "he performed the song during" → "Mengoni performed the song during"
• "as a duet with" → "for a duet with"
• "During the last episode" → "That same month, during the last episode"
• "on the set list of his tour with" → "on the set list for Mengoni's tour of"
• "On 13 April 2013, Mengoni sang" → "On 13 April 2013, he sang"
• "while on 11 May 2013" → "while on 11 May of that year"
• "performed it during" → "performed it as part of"

Chart performance

• Retitle to Commercial performance
• "the Italian Top Digital Downloads chart during" → "the Italian FIMI Singles Chart for" since that is the name even though sales are counted by downloads
• "four days after the release of the song" → "four days after its release"
• "mid April 2013, completing" → "mid-April 2013, spending"
• "and three weeks later it fell outside the top ten" → "and it fell outside the top ten three weeks later"
• "On 21 February 2013" → "On 21 February of that year"
• "while on 2 April 2013 it went multi-platinum" → "while it went multi-platinum by 2 April 2013"
• Change Federation of the Italian Music Industry to Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana with no wikilink though since that's already been done
• How many download units does quadruple plat indicate? Note it...
• "and Pharrell Williams and Avicii's" → "and Pharrell Williams, and Avicii's"
• "also entered the top 40" → "further charted within the top 40"
• "charts both in Wallonia and the Flanders" → "charts for both Wallonia and the Flanders"
• Cite Swiss chart by using a refname from the singlechart format of the chart table instead, do the same with the Belgium charts, separately though.
• "it also debuted at number" → "it debuted at number"
• "and at number 69 on" → "and number 69 on"

Song contests

Sanremo Music Festival

• Img needs alt text and wikilink 63rd Sanremo Music Festival to Sanremo Music Festival 2013 on it
• However, remove the wikilink to the former within the first para solely in prose, since that has already been wikilinked in the body
• "the first time during the" → "the first time at the"
• "night, "L'essenziale" won against "Bellissimo" as" → "night, "L'essenziale" won against the latter as"
• "performed by Mengoni during" → "performed by Mengoni for"
• Target music journalists to Music journalism
• "during the last round" → "in the last round"
• "beating the remaining top three entries" → "beating the remaining entries within the top three"
• "During the same night" → "That same night"
• Add the sentence below to the end of this sub-section's second para, rather than having its own para

Eurovision Song Contest

• Img needs alt text and a wikilink on Eurovision Song Contest 2013
• As I said before in the lead review, I'm confused if it's RAI or Rai 2?
• Remove wikilink on Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in the text of the sub-section, since you already wikilinked to that in the body
• "The last time Italy was represented in the Eurovision Song Contest by the winning song of the Sanremo Music Festival was in 1997" → "This marked the first time Italy was represented in the Eurovision Song Contest by the winning song of the Sanremo Music Festival since 1997"
• "decided to perform the song" → "decided to perform the track"
• "the version of the song performed" → "the version of the track performed"
• "to a length of 3 minutes" → "to a length of three minutes"
• Remove wikilink on Sweden
• "the 23rd during the night" → "the 23rd of the night"
• "movements and colours and wearing" → "movements and colours, while wearing"
• Remove wikilink on suit
• "While commenting on this choice, Mengoni" → "While commenting on this choice, he"
• "the air to hear it"." → "the air to hear it.""
• Remove the wikilinks on those countries within the final para

Track listing

• This needs a ref to verify itself

Credits and personnel

• Good

Charts

Peak positions

• Retitle to Weekly charts
• Appears you have cited a ref archived from 2012 of the chart for Italy; this is incorrect since the song peaked in 2013

Year-end charts

• Good

Certifications

• Create this section for the Italy certification; see "Black Skinhead" as an example of how to enter one

Release history

• Change Region to Country
• Format should come after Date, then follow the former on with Version
• The label(s) used to release the song should be included in the table as the fifth entry
• Give the ref(s) their own separate col as the last one, and centre them
• Target Digital download to Music download
• Add wikilink on Airplay

References

• Seem alright, will look at them once you have made the other fixes though since that will change the ref order, technically
• Copyvio score is good
• Archive all of these using the tool
• Refs 1, 9, 20, 23, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 44, 55 and 56 are missing accessdates
• Ref 12 should be italicised
• Refs 52 and 53 shouldn't music.apple.com as well as Apple Music

External links

• Good

Final comments and verdict

•  On hold for now, but I will have minor comments once you have complied. --Kyle Peake (talk) 06:16, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@Kyle Peake: I believe I've addressed your concerns so far, though I didn't always reword each phrase exactly as you wrote. Grk1011 (talk) 15:49, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

@Grk1011: ✓ Pass for this article now, good co-operating with me on this review page though. --Kyle Peake (talk) 20:42, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Further comments

• Grk1011, So I looked for any further fixes, I'll fix in the refs within their sub-section but here's ones for any remaining issues. --Kyle Peake (talk) 18:53, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• The title in brackets in the lead should be in bold since that is done for alternate titles of tracks
• RAI/Rai 2 is still confusing; only one is mentioned in the body so either change that or the one in the lead to make sense
• When I have requested to change to "the track", that is because using "the song" too much is repetitive in the article
• Release history doesn't have uses of multiple rowspan that should have be done.

It's not an alternative title, it's the English translation, so I've left it unbolded. Calling it a "track" is too technical, so it should really be one or the other. Are there instances where I could cut down on the use of "song"? Rowspan and RAi are now done. Thanks! Grk1011 (talk) 19:09, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Grk1011 Within the Eurovision Song Contest sub-section, understand? --Kyle Peake (talk) 19:53, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Sure, I reworded it a bit. Grk1011 (talk) 20:04, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
