I'll take this one on, looks fairly solid. -- Zanimum ( talk) 12:44, 27 September 2013 (UTC) reply

Passing both "Development and title", "Recording and production", and "Composition"... reading further. -- Zanimum ( talk) 17:39, 28 September 2013 (UTC) reply

My browser crashed with additional, unsaved comments in it, and I took a while to return to the article.

The one reference confirms that the video for "Shut Up and Drive" was shot in Prague, but doesn't note that it was in a "makeshift junkyard". Is this to refer to the building with the cars, or the compressed junk? As a Canadian, I read "junkyard" as dump, and thought "that's a scrapyard". Searching Wikipedia, I learned that's a regional difference. Perhaps explain the location, so people know exactly what as junkyard is.

I removed the information since it was not in the source. — Tomíca (T2ME) 00:07, 30 September 2013 (UTC) reply
Works for me; you could even reference the video itself for saying it's set in a junkyard, just let the viewer interpret the obvious, that it's a fake junkyard. -- Zanimum ( talk) 22:53, 1 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Passing both "Marketing and release" and "Critical reception". -- Zanimum ( talk) 21:17, 28 September 2013 (UTC) reply

Images check out, good licenses on all. Interesting side note: I actually contacted MuchMusic, got them to allow photographer Robin Wong the ability to drop into their live productions, where he photographed Ne-Yo. Cool to see the fruits of that project are still being used. -- Zanimum ( talk) 22:55, 1 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Oh, I am so glad :) ! — Tomíca (T2ME) 09:33, 2 October 2013 (UTC) reply

There was like one or two teensy little things left to change in the article, but they're stuck on my other computer, so it'll be tomorrow at the earliest I can post them. That said, I know they were both so insignificant that there's no real objection left to passing the article. I'll deal with them in the future, right now though, pass. -- Zanimum ( talk) 23:30, 1 October 2013 (UTC) reply
