message: Is the Slip-On based on something else? I've seen a similar style of shoe in pictures from the 1960's, like this 1965 Beach Boys cover for instance: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/0b/dd/b486a2c008a09e381ff5c010.L.jpg

message: I'm not doubting that the Teams section is relatively accurate but we need more sources for support. Users logged in from their IP addresses continue to add to the lists and we have no idea whether or not the information is correct. If sources are not added soon, I'm going to significant cut down the Teams section and only leave the lists with references. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

replies: text: I agree with your approach of only including sourced content. Some may be correct, but some people like to add their own names to the list. Requiring a citation will prevent that. Bahooka (talk) 19:28, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  I cleaned up the lists and removed individuals not provided in the sources. Hope this improves the page a bit! Meatsgains (talk) 19:15, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

message: Per WP:BRD, I have reverted this edit as it is [[WP:Cherryp 🅣🅗🅔🅨 🅗🅐🅥🅔 🅝🅞 🅡🅘🅖🅗🅣🅢
:Section refers only to Vans Free2Work rating for Worker's Rights.  "Free2Work conducts extensive research before assigning grades on a scale of “A” to “F” to each brand.  We look at company efforts in four main categories: policies, monitoring, transparency, and worker rights."  It is obvious from the organization's preceding statement that worker rights are only one part of their evaluation of a company.  Please elaborate on your "cherrypicking" accusation. 169.53.156.211 (talk) 07:12, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: That one component is only part of an overall rating. Per the cherrypicking essay, "In the context of editing an article, cherrypicking, in a negative sense, means selecting information without including contradictory or significant qualifying information from the same source and consequently misrepresenting what the source says."  In thinking about this more, the entire section should be removed as a primary source. A secondary source such as a journal or newspaper would be better to determine the notability and reliability of Free2Work.org as a source. I will have limited Wikipedia access during the next few days but hopefully some other editors will join in the discussion about this content and if it should be in the article.

replies: text: I created the section to address Van's position concerning Worker Rights.  If you want me to address Van's position on the other three categories (policies, monitoring, transparency) that's fine with me.  However, The section I created is specifically for documenting Van's and worker rights.XenoRasta (talk) 09:18, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

message: That tumbling shoe graphic is really annoying and distracting. Sca (talk) 16:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: i agree!! can someone remove that? i assume you're talking about the one thats still there and i honestly think it would be better if we replaced it with an image or a bunch of vans shoes or , if nothing suitable can be found , just remove it outright. maybe an image of one of the founders would suffice?

thread_title: Tumbling Shoe

message: Much of the "History" section is lifted verbatim (but without use of quotation marks—hence the "over-quotation" tag) from various sources, including an article in "Smith Journal" which contains a disclaimer that "Vans is a supporter of Smith Journal," which might also raise "neutral point of view" questions.
The section gives the impression of being public-relations advertising copy, not an encyclopedia entry. I included the "inappropriate person" tag because part of the copy-and-pasted text contains the second-person "you". (The "story" tag -- suggesting that this section reads like a story rather than an encyclopedia entry -- might also be warranted here, but I didn't want to pile up too many tags.)

message: Why isnt it just called "reinforcment" between the sole and the rest of the shoe? "Technologies" tends to make people assume there was tech involved in construction and it leaves no indication people wanted it because it didnt fall apart as easily. 2607:FEA8:FEC0:78D8:251A:DA92:B01:AE20 (talk) 22:12, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
