"'''Sneakernight'''" was the first single from [[United States|American]] pop singer, [[Vanessa Hudgens]] on her sophomore album, [[Identified]] and was released to [[Radio Disney]] on [[April 11]], [[2008]] and was produced by [[J.R. Rotem]]. It was available on [[iTunes]] on [[May 27]], [[2008]].


==Song information==
My user talk has slowly become my user page; my actual user page I just find frustrating and I think I'll stick with the poems. I throw extra stuff [[User:Marskell/Miscellany|here]]. For the record: Tim Marskell, a Canadian living in the United Arab Emirates (though often found elsewhere).
The song was featured in some commercials for the [[reality show]] ''[[So You Think You Can Dance?]]''. "Sneakernight" was also released as a promotion since Hudgens is signed under [[Ecko|Red by Marc Ecko]].<ref>[http://hudgens.ecko.com Vanessa Hudgens' Ecko Page<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> It was available on [[iTunes]] on [[May 27]], [[2008]]. [[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] said that, "Sneakernight, takes a G-rated lyric about making your feet comfy into a slightly more mature tome about fancy footwook." They were also surprised that producer [[J.R. Rotem]], gave an uncharacteristically organic landscape that still manages to groove, while Hudgens sounds like she's having a blast with a cute call-and-response with background vocals.<ref>[http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/content_display/reviews/singles/e3i78d3d905b45a67cf835c1d28259491e3 Billboard Review on Sneakernight<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The song has been crdited for it's piano drive thereby giving the song it's Jazz influence.

<!-- Deleted image removed: [[Image:Sneakernight MV.JPG|thumb|180px|left|[[Vanessa Hudgens|Hudgens]] in the video.]] -->The [[music video]] shows Hudgens going to a house party with a group of friends wearing glowing neon sneakers. It starts with Hudgens calling her friends on her [[cell phone]], and picking out sneakers. On the second verse, she is now at the party and while on her way to a guy staring at her, she is blocked by another guy who tries to impress her by showing some dance moves. The video features some back-up dancers of ''[[High School Musical 3: Senior Year]]''.

It premiered on [[The Walt Disney Company|Disney]].com on [[June 13]], [[2008]] and on [[MTV]]'s [[TRL]] last [[July 1]], [[2008]]. The video was directed by Malcolm Jones.<ref>[http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?vid=252770 Malcolm Jones directs Sneakernight<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The video was considered to be one of the nominees on [[MTV]]'s [[VMA|VMA'08]] but didn't receive sufficient votes to be in one.

After several months, [[Ecko|Red by Marc Ecko]] TV showed another promotional commercial for Ecko shoes and also to support ''Identified''. The new commercial features a never before seen scene of the video.

Thanks, Tim. But let me acknowledge how important ''your'' work has been in an essential and probably under-rated part of the featured-content process. I'm sorry not to be there all the time, but it's just not possible. Maybe we need a ''Signpost'' Dispatch on FAR to raise its profile and attract more reviewers.

== Copyedit? ==

Hi Marskell,

I saw your name on [[Wikipedia:PRV#Natural_sciences]] and am wondering if you would be willing to do some copyediting on ''[[Spinosaurus]]''. Your entry under Natural Sciences indicates that you've worked on animal articles, and although ''Spinosaurus'' isn't a mammal, I am looking for someone generally ''unfamiliar with the subject'' to look the article over. If you don't have time, it's not a problem, but the article was sent to the League of Copyeditors some time ago, before that project shut down, and nothing was done with the article. I would like to see a full copy-edit by someone new before it is sent to FAC, and I hoped you'd be willing to help out or offer suggestions for improvement. <font color="#0000FF">[[User:Firsfron|Firsfron of Ronchester]]</font> 05:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I saw you listed at [[Wikipedia:PRV#General copyediting]] as a copyeditor. I was wondering if you would copyedit Mangalore which is a city article. The article is already a GA and it uses UK English. Hope that's not a problem. Language is very simple and the prose is quite precise. Copyediting won't take much of your time. Thanks!.

== [[Wikipedia:Peer review#Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Austria)]] ==

Hi Marksell,

I am asking for a big favours of yours. I nominated the article [[Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Austria)]] for featured list, but there were too many small grammar problems, so we decided to withdraw it, and do a peer review first. The list is complete and very well sourced. It also followed all he suggestions given in [[Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Belgium)]] (recently promoted to featured list), so in general is in a very good shape. Only the description fields for the coins are in a need of a good copy/edit. Can you please help us to get this list promoted?

Many thanks, [[User:Miguel.mateo|Miguel.mateo]] ([[User talk:Miguel.mateo|talk]]) 06:15, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

== date autoformatting ==

Tim—I don't know whether you're aware that the campaign to persuade WPians not to use it is alive and kicking, especially at FAC; there, the removal of autoformatting from nominated articles has been, with one exception, met with either a positive reaction or passed over without noticing it. I hope you don't mind my going through the FAR/C in the same way.

==Request for massive favour on [[India House]], a current FAC==
Hello Marskell, I was wondering if I could ask you for a massIve favour and help copyedit [[India House]]. This artilce is currently listed for FAC. A reviewer in the FAC mentioned quite strongly that the text is not upto the mark. I thought it would help a lot if somebody had a look and suggested any improvement, since it has already been copyedited once by another editor and once byself. Please understand that I am neither looking for your support in the FAC, nor am I asking you to comment on wether it deserves or not to be FA, since I realise this would be canvassing. Nontheless, any comments on ''improving'' the article would be extremely welcome.[[::User: rueben_lys| rueben_lys]]&nbsp;([[::User talk: rueben_lys|talk]]&nbsp;'''·''' [[::Special:Contributions/ rueben_lys|contribs]]) 01:37, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

== dark ages ==
see comments below. Your discusiion was sensible and I wonder if you'd be willing to weigh in now and try to improve the situation at Dark Ages.

I have just read through 50 pages of Talk on Dark Ages, and it reveals a Wiki article that is in deep trouble. 29 people contributed comments complaining about the one-sided polemics against the term "Dark Ages." 7 people argued that to talk of the Dark Ages is invalid and that the article need only represent this one point of view -- but mostly the rejecttion of diverse views is the work of two people, stbalbach and Doric Loon. Loon compliments stbalbach for "assiduously maintainging and defending this article over the years," meaning, beating back all other contributors and defending their personal POV. They don't seem to be ashamed that during this time the artcle lost its status as a Good Article, way back in Mary 2006. Some defense! In the talk pages, stbalbach and Loon state openly that they consider the Dark Ages not dark, and that their opinion is the only valid one, and the only one that may be included. For ex, stbalbach: "Its impossible to defend the use of the term (Dark Ages) with what we now know." Any alternate, referenced quotes or information are undone and dismissed as not good references. This is Orwell's 1984 - some pigs are more equal than others. Marskell said it very well back in 2005, and its still true now in 2008: "It's disappointing to see revisionism has won out. 'the middle ages were not dark, therefore there can be no causes of darkness...you see stbalback beecoming a crusader...it is still possible to walk into a respectable university and hear the Dark Ages discussed...unfortunately readers of wikipedia won't be able to find out...." One poor user of Wiki wrote his frustration on teh talk page, that none of the information he was hoping for on The Dark AGes was here, just polemics. His complaint was trashed. This page is crying out for arbitration, to stop a small number of people from domineering and preventing balanced POV. It's time to rebel against the dictatorial rule of stbalbach and his henchwomen. I am fairly new to Wikipedia. Judging from stbalbach's page, he is very active - does that make him impregnable or is there something that can be done? There is really no point in trying as individuals to improve the article while he is in place as the self-appointed Dictator of Truth. Now is the time for concerned people to speak up. If you agree that stbalbach's reign of power should end, and the article should include references that support the term Dark Ages, and explain why, so as to have a balanced POV, please speak up now.

Tim, I've run afoul of Tony1 yet again in the FAC process. For some reason I have never managed to best his verbal challenge. I suppose my master's degree in English literature was a fluke.

I apologize about the whole [[WP:FAWCP]] thing. I let a discussion get carried away and out of hand as opposed to just ending it and letting it go.

== [[Lincolnshire, Illinois]] Copyedit ==

Hi Marskell...I was wondering if you could take a look at the [[Lincolnshire, Illinois]] article. I've been putting some hours in, and [[User:Ruhrfisch|a senior administrator]] suggested I sniff around for some people to help me in the copyediting sector. I would really appreciate it if you took a look at it.

Thanks,

== FAs with citation problems ==
I'm allowed to add stuff to that aren't I? In any case I've been trying to ref some of the older ones anyway, eg [[History of the ACT]], [[Canberra]], [[Flag of Australia]], [[Tom Playford]] etc without waiting for FAR to toll.

:::We need to discuss what to do with that page now that it's shrunk so much. Blnguyen, I'd like to avoid individuals adding things as it would turn the list into something it was not meant to be.
:::Sandy, maybe we should rename it Unreviewed Featured Articles. I notice you've already hidden everything from '05 and previous. I'd like to bump this up to end-June '06 (if Drpda doesn't mind) because FAR and FARC were merged that month. Then we'd keep the no citations/few citations sections and add an "other unreviewed" section. The only question is your notifications. I don't want to recreate a monster. Alternatively, we could create an Unreviewed Featured Articles page independently of the FAWCP. [[User:Marskell|Marskell]] ([[User talk:Marskell#top|talk]]) 10:35, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've added thru Jun 2006 and added a blurb at the top, that needs your review. You'll have to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_articles_with_citation_problems&action=edit&section=77 view it in edit mode,] or see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AFeatured_articles_with_citation_problems&diff=236713639&oldid=236471760 this diff.] If you agree, I'll 1) rename the page, 2) remove the by Project sections, and 3) unveil the hidden tables. Then, as these articles come to FAR, I would maintain a separate set of stats below the by-year listings; that is, the previous list and the new list would be kept entirely separate for stats purposes, but on the same page so I can update in one place. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<font color="green">Georgia</font>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 19:25, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

What would you like to do with [[Wikipedia:Featured article review/Battle of Red Cliffs]]? Normally, in a situation like this, I'd bypass botification and manually move it to archive1 with a "Previous FAR withdrawn" on the cleared redirect, without adding it to articlehistory or the keep archive.

==New Review==
[[Calgary Flames]] has been nominated for a [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_review|featured article review]]. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to [[Wikipedia:What is a featured article?|featured quality]]. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_review|here]]. Reviewers' concerns are [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_review/{{#if:|{{{2}}}|Calgary Flames 2}}|here]].

:I think it is a shame that an article that so badly fails the FAC should be listed as featured standard.

== Comments ==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Marskell/Sandbox&diff=next&oldid=237515221]? Could be a can of worms, but I wouldn't object. [[User:DrKiernan|DrKiernan]] ([[User talk:DrKiernan|talk]]) 14:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
: So, it would merge FARC and FAR and shorten the overall period. (If there are any other substantial proposed changes, I missed them.) If FARC and FAR are merged, do you think we'll have a problem with a lot of editors instantly declaring Remove or Keep, before work has progressed (where they used to have to wait for a move to FARC), making it harder for you to sort what has been addressed and what declarations are relevant? [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<font color="green">Georgia</font>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 17:08, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
::Could the instructions be changed to suggest that editors not post Keep or Remove until someone has performed a detailed evaluation of the article, and local editors have had time to respond? That way, FARC and FAR could be combined into a less formal three-step process — first someone takes a close look at the article and reports to the FAR page, then local editors are given a chance to respond, then the community decides whether the response is adequate. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <small>([[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Josiah Rowe|contribs]])</small> 17:13, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
::: Since we have to enforce "no declartions during FAR" even with the current divided system, I'm not sure that would be heeded. I'm concerned that unless we clearly keep two phases, we'll just get a lot of pile-on declarations early on. I suspect Marskell is prepared to deal with that, but I'm wondering if it will make pages hard to sort. [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy<font color="green">Georgia</font>]] ([[User talk:SandyGeorgia|Talk]]) 17:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
::::Whoa. I didn't know people watched my sandbox :). I was sort of hoping to keep this secret while thinking it through some more.
::::The issue of pile-on removes is the most serious one and part of the reason we have a two step process now.

== [[Samuel Johnson]] ==
Marskell, I left a response at [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Samuel Johnson]]. The concern about decoupling Boswell and TS is that it is precisely the strength of the evidence in several bios and writings that informed the TS diagnosis. Without those writings, it would be just another speculative diagnosis rather than a strongly informed posthumous diagnosis that enjoys widespread (unanimous as far as I know) medical consensus:

: He is also the subject of one of the most celebrated biographies in English, [[James Boswell]]'s ''[[Life of Samuel Johnson]]''. Boswell's ''Life'', along with [[List of contemporary accounts of Samuel Johnson's life|other biographies]], documented Johnson's behaviour and mannerisms in such detail that they have informed the [[Samuel Johnson's health#Posthumous diagnosis|posthumous diagnosis]] of [[Tourette syndrome]] (TS),<ref name="ContTSDiagnosis">{{Harvnb|Murray|2003}} and {{Harvnb|Stern|2005}}</ref> a condition unknown to 18th-century physicians.

== Macedonia (terminology) FAR improper closure ==

I'm sorry but you closed it on simply incorrect grounds, and very much too early. The people involved were all involved in the discussion elsewhere that lead to the FAR review, and were in no way unbiased. This simply wasn't a snowball. Reviews are supposed to be held for 2-3 weeks and you closed it in a few hours.

As Taemyr states:

== Hiya ==

Regarding "excellent" articles, I'll reply here since people are already a bit fatigued at [[WT:FAC]]. If the goal is to find and help and co-opt as many editors as possible who are involved in other review processes but not yet at FAC, then I think the most effective marketing would be to pick a name for the goal that sounds as easy as possible (DYK) rather than one that sounds hard. I've also tried myself, and seen other people try (as you have), to get people interested in new forms of ego-boo and new awards, with absolutely zero success. If people are motivated by awards at all, they seem to want the existing awards.

"Sneakernight"
Song

"Sneakernight" was the first single from American pop singer, Vanessa Hudgens on her sophomore album, Identified and was released to Radio Disney on April 11, 2008 and was produced by J.R. Rotem. It was available on iTunes on May 27, 2008.

Song information

The song was featured in some commercials for the reality show So You Think You Can Dance?. "Sneakernight" was also released as a promotion since Hudgens is signed under Red by Marc Ecko.[1] It was available on iTunes on May 27, 2008. Billboard said that, "Sneakernight, takes a G-rated lyric about making your feet comfy into a slightly more mature tome about fancy footwook." They were also surprised that producer J.R. Rotem, gave an uncharacteristically organic landscape that still manages to groove, while Hudgens sounds like she's having a blast with a cute call-and-response with background vocals.[2] The song has been crdited for it's piano drive thereby giving the song it's Jazz influence.

Music video

The music video shows Hudgens going to a house party with a group of friends wearing glowing neon sneakers. It starts with Hudgens calling her friends on her cell phone, and picking out sneakers. On the second verse, she is now at the party and while on her way to a guy staring at her, she is blocked by another guy who tries to impress her by showing some dance moves. The video features some back-up dancers of High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

It premiered on Disney.com on June 13, 2008 and on MTV's TRL last July 1, 2008. The video was directed by Malcolm Jones.[3] The video was considered to be one of the nominees on MTV's VMA'08 but didn't receive sufficient votes to be in one.

After several months, Red by Marc Ecko TV showed another promotional commercial for Ecko shoes and also to support Identified. The new commercial features a never before seen scene of the video.

Charts

The song Sneakernight by Vanessa Hudgens has been listed for 3 weeks in 2 different charts. Its first appearance was week 29/2008 in the Billboard Hot 100 and the last appearance was week 31/2008 in the Canadian Hot 100. Its peak position was number 88, on the Billboard Hot 100, it stayed there for 1 week. Its highest entry was number 88 in the Billboard Hot 100.
