Congratulations for another musical FA! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:06, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

- For more great coincidence: thank you today for Dear Future Husband, introduced: "'Dear Future Husband', which is Trainor's list of things a potential suitor needs to do if he wants to "get some... kisses". Its accompanying music video attracted the wrath of cancel culture for depicting her as a domestic housewife, and the song itself received mixed reviews with criticism directed towards its backward portrayal of gender roles. This nomination marks a full circle moment for me as this was one of the first proper articles I created, way back in 2014, and I have seen it through DYK, GAN, and now an FAC!"! - I have a FAC open, in case of interest ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:52, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

Many congrats on the TFA. Excellent job taking on all the Trainor articles; she should personally thank you. ;) FrB.TG (talk) 16:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot for these very kind words, FrB.TG! I found it funny that Trainor gave an interview yesterday where she said she is going back to the Title era's sound because the "universe is talking" to her. I kept wondering if she may view these main page featured articles as signs from the universe too, lol.--NØ 17:12, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
"dear future husband"
hello, MaranoFan! i had a question regarding this article and the associated blurb. the blurb and article lead both mention that the music video "depicts Trainor ... scrubbing floors". would it be more appropriate to state "scrubbing the floor" instead? admittedly, this might be considered original research, but when i watched the music video, i think i only saw trainor scrubbing one floor, the checkered one (presumably of the kitchen). the two mtv sources cited with respect to the scrubbing mention "floors", but the nme source cited states "scrubbing a kitchen floor". (also, considering how the description of the music video was worded in the article body, i have no issue with the use of the word "floors" there.)
by the way, i was also wondering if you knew how it was determined that meghan trainor was performing "dear future husband" in this picture. i admittedly could not find anything in the picture that clearly identified the song being performed, and the picture's description on commons does not appear to mention the song either. dying (talk) 05:33, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi dying, feel free to make the "scrubbing" change or any other small changes that you think improve the article. Regarding the image, I just assumed good faith about it when it was transferred over from Flickr. Lips Are Movin seems to have offered some explanation here.--NØ 06:55, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- thanks, MaranoFan. i have replaced "floors" with "the floor" in the blurb here.[a] also, i apologize in advance for the length of the rest of this comment.i was previously unaware of Lips Are Movin's statement, so i appreciate you pointing it out to me. normally, i would agree that a distinctive background that has been associated with the song's performance would be convincing evidence that the picture shows the singer performing the song in question.[b] however, the picture featured in the "dear future husband" blurb appears to contain no such distinctive background, or anything similar that could easily identify the song being sung.[c]in any case, i ended up performing a bunch of original research to try to either convince myself that she was likely performing "dear future husband" in the photo, or convince myself that she was likely not, and happily, i was successful in completing the former. i thought i might write up my findings here in case a future editor has the same question, so that you can reference this comment like you referenced Lips Are Movin's comment for me.i am pretty convinced that the picture was taken at around 2:17 into this video, which was recorded in philadelphia during the jingle ball 2014 tour, at the same concert during which the photo was taken. at around that time in the video, trainor is not near the other two performers, her stance appears similar to the one she has in the photo,[d] she is stage right far enough that a photo would likely not capture the large screens on the stage,[e] the purple lights are dominant (as opposed to the blue or white ones), and the wheels and wires visible at the bottom right of the photo can also be seen in the video.however, i am now questioning whether the song being performed in this picture is correctly identified by the caption in this article.[f] the two pictures appear to have been taken from the same flickr photostream. assuming that they were taken by the same camera, the metadata has not been tampered with,[g] and the camera's clock was not reset during the performance, the first picture appears to have been taken about two minutes after the second, as the first has a timestamp of 21:04:54 and the second 21:02:27. incidentally, there happens to be a clock atop the stage left speakers that is visible in the "dear future husband" video, and around 2:46 into the video, the clock clearly reads "9:04". this video, showing trainor's performance of "close your eyes" in the same concert, appears to show the same clock reading "9:06" about 0:44 into the video, suggesting that "close your eyes" was the song performed after "dear future husband", and therefore would not have been the song trainor was performing in the second picture.[h]if i am correct about the first picture being taken about 2:17 into the "dear future husband" video, then, according to the timestamps of the two photos, it appears that the second photo was taken about 10 seconds before recording for this video commenced. since the video begins with trainor singing the lyrics "break, and don't forget the flowers every anniversary", the video clearly starts after the song's performance had already started. i was unable to find another video for this specific performance, but did find one video of a similar performance in chicago about a week later with roughly the same stage setup. in this video, trainor sings the lyrics "break, and don't forget the flowers every anniversary" around 0:15 into the video, and 10 seconds before, at 0:05 into the video, she is singing the lyrics "all my life" from the beginning of the song. at this point, trainor is again not near the other two performers, her stance appears similar to the one she has in the second photo,[i] she is in the center of the stage so a photographer near stage right[j] would likely capture much of stage left in the background,[k] and the blue lights are dominant.this is obviously not an airtight analysis, but if you agree with the conclusion, then the caption in the extended play article is currently not accurate. luckily, though, since the extended play contains both "close your eyes" and "dear future husband", simply replacing the first title with the second should be sufficient to address this concern.[l] alternatively, if you want to use a photo from the performance of a different song, there are a number of other photos in this commons category that are from the same photostream, so it should not be too difficult to determine what songs were being performed by looking at the timestamps and reviewing the previously linked videos.please feel free to let me know if you need any assistance or clarification. thanks for reading all of this. hope it helps! dying (talk) 08:08, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- Wow, thanks for this... detailed analysis. Really, I appreciate it. So I guess the only change that needs to be made is captioning the picture in Title (EP) as a performance of "Dear Future Husband"?--NØ 08:16, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
- yeah, in that article and the portuguese one. dying (talk) 08:52, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Notes
- ^ i trimmed a bit of the blurb as there is actually a limit of 1025 characters, but it is not often mentioned and not always strictly enforced, so i can easily understand if you were not previously aware of it. i hope i have not removed anything substantial.
- ^ for example, the background was distinctive enough in the picture featured in this blurb to easily identify the song.
- ^ also, it seems like an editor other than Lips Are Movin had added the picture and caption to the article, as seen here, so i am not sure if Lips Are Movin's statement is relevant with respect to this specific picture.
- ^ the microphone is in her right hand, raised up to her mouth, and nearly parallel to the ground; her left hand is slightly closed, raised above her elbow, and held slightly away from her body; and her knees are slightly bent.
- ^ the iheartradio logo is in the photo's background, and can also be seen stage right past the video screens around 1:23 into this video of her at the same concert.
- ^ a similar caption appears in the portuguese version of the article.
- ^ the metadata lists the same author and camera model for both.
- ^ the same youtube channel also has videos of two other songs that trainor performed that night, and the video for "lips are movin" shows the clock reading "9:09" right at the start, while the video for "all about that bass" has the clock reading "9:14" at around 1:13 into the video. these videos appear to conform with this set list, so i would assume that the first song trainor performed that night was "dear future husband".
- ^ she is largely standing up straight with her hands close to her body.
- ^ this was the likely location of the photographer for the first photo.
- ^ the iheartradio logo at stage left appears to be at the right edge of the photo's background.
- ^ obviously, the same should be done with the caption in the portuguese article.

Adele FACs
Hello again. I hope you are enjoying your wikibreak. I have noticed that you have shifted your focus to Adele songs lately and I was curious if you have any specific songs in mind for the FAC? I'm guessing one of these would be "Water Under the Bridge"? Apologies for the super random question. I was just curious lol. I really should listen to 30 again. I've not gone back to it since the whole Vegas fiasco put off of Adele (as silly as that may sound) so I'd be curious on how I'd feel about it now. "To Be Loved" was my favorite at the time. I hope you are doing well! Aoba47 (talk) 20:18, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hey Aoba, how's it going! Yeah, I'd love to keep writing about miss Trainor but she doesn't have a lot of hits left, lol. When I saw the Adele wikiproject I had started had been marked as inactive, I figured I should shift my focus there. I think the "Water Under the Bridge" article is heading in the right direction but I'd like to redo the critical reception section before an FAC because it's not sorted by thematic elements currently. Also on an unrelated note, congrats on the promotion of your FA! I admire your patience in not harrassing the coords with pings despite having a staggering 7 supports.--NØ 05:06, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- That makes sense. I also think it is sometimes just refreshing to change your focus, and Adele has plenty of hits for you to focus on with an eye toward the FAC process. The reception sections are always the toughest ones to write because it is all about presenting the information in an engaging way while also still providing the reader with a clear understanding of how an item was received and that's a lot to balance and do well. Thank you for the congratulations. I am planning on taking at least a small break from song articles for a while. I am trying to be better with my patience on here and it means a lot that you pointed that out. As I've gotten older, I recognize that we all have our own individual responsibilities and things going on in our lives so I am trying to be more respectful of that. I believe my FAC is a really good example of how a well-attended peer review can have such a great impact on the FAC process. I'd be curious to see how people would react to Paris Hilton have a song FA lol. Aoba47 (talk) 18:06, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- It's always a pleasant surprise to see unlikely topics become FAs. I might try to bring "Marvin Gaye" to FAC one day, which would be a fun challenge given that it is a universally panned song, lol. Honestly, I'm in a similar predicament when it comes to song articles and a bit bored of them at this point.--NØ 18:32, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- I always have fun elevating more obscure topics to FA status. I think it emphasizes a particularly unique aspect of Wikipedia in that readers can get information about a topic that is not as easy to research or find in general. I still enjoy working on song articles, but it is important to take a step back to try new things. Sometimes things can be quite repetitive, especially as song articles share similar structures, etc. What kind of articles would you like to work on next? I'd love to return to fictional characters. That was one of my main focuses when I first joined Wikipedia and it has been a significant span of time since I have done anything with that. I'd also love to do fashion and literature articles. For me, at least, my primary goal is to work on at least one or two new projects as I've been primarily looking back on my old GAs and sometimes that gives me a weird sense of anxiety lol. Aoba47 (talk) 19:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- I think something like a movie, tour, or biography would be a natural transition from the topics I currently work on. Although it's a bit hard to find ample information to write comprehensive tour articles. I think your catalogue is quite diverse already, with several TV-related articles. I'm sure you will do great with fictional characters whenever you do decide to return to them.--NØ 06:41, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
- That makes sense. There are a few tour FAs that you can look at for inspiration. I do strive to have a diverse catalog, but a lot of it just boils down to my interests being super random lol. Best of luck with whatever project you do decide to pursue next! Aoba47 (talk) 17:07, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
