Current Issues

Moved Page

I moved the page from Converse (company), to simply Converse. I'm not trying to step on any toes here but there wasn't anything signifigant of Converse, so I took the required steps and just moved it.. if you have any input on this id love to hear it..

Article Improvement

Infobox: I created a company infobox, however many stats are missing
Sectioning: I added sections to the article, and because of that the sections could be maybe fleshed out a bit more.
Better Intro: Because I sectioned the article it doesn't have a very strong introduction/ summary; it needs to be fleshed out some too.
Wikify: internal links could be cleaned up some
Media: There could be more properly sourced images

if anyone has any comments, or anything else to add feel free,

Settled/ Past Issues

Yellow

Does anyone know of a way to speed up the process of "turning yellow"? Snow white new chucks suck, and wearing these for half a year until the white turns brownish from the dirt is terrible...
don't be one of those kids who makes their shoes look old by messing them up themselves, its just stupid, just wear them everyday and they'll look how you want before 6 months, they'll wear in faster that way anyway.

One way is to, apparently, get some green cons and bleach them. Instead of going white they go a perculiar shade of yellow --RoryKillhorn 17:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can also dive the shoes in coffee. (i'm not sure about using the word dive in this sentence, if wrong forgive me, english isnt my native language) Leo McAllister 03:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nirvana

Wasn't it Kurt Cobain who popularised wearing Converse All Stars? Is this worth mentioning?

A pair of converse can be seen in the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit", so it could be justified in mentioning it in conjunction to the bit about the American rock background that's already in the article, but saying it was solely due to Cobain isn't accurate.
