Reference for Genre[edit]

The reference which is supposed to be titled "20 Insanely Great Genesis Songs Only Hardcore Fans Know" from Rolling Stone links to something completely unrelated to this song (https://web.archive.org/web/20071001201734/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/thieverycorporation/albums/album/206415/review/5945855/the_mirror_conspiracy). I was not able to find the page the title refers to. 93.237.71.182 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:49, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Video?[edit]

Shouldn't someone say something about the video like in "Land of Confusion"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.139.217.210 (talk) 15:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a brief mention. Feel free to expand if you feel that certain traits are notable. --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 23:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect[edit]

I noticed that the Wikipedia page "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Can't_Dance" links to an old cached version of this page, while "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Can%27t_Dance" is the actual up-to-date page. I added the redirect command so that anyone visiting the page will be redirected to the right page Silver007 (talk) 11:08, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cluebot reverted my edit because it thought I was vandlizing the page, I've reported a false positive. Though i just tested right now in IE7, Opera, and FireFox, all with their temporary internet files cleared, going to google, typing in I Can't Dance, and then clickling on the wikipedia link, leads you to an older version of the pageSilver007 (talk) 11:28, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think "%27" in an URL is synonymous with "'" (single quote), so the edit ended up redirecting the page to itself (which can keep the page from coming up). That's what I think happened. Oh, and following the link from Google doesn't seem to do that to me. As far as I can tell, I got the up to date version of the page. -- Why Not A Duck 21:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I Understand that the URL encoding for %27 is the same as the apostrophe,
but the thing is that it seems when you click on the google search link to the I can't Dance page, youll see that its an old version that says "This page was last modified on 15 July 2008, at 10:21." , with "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Can't_Dance" as the URL.
I've made sure to test this out on muiltiple browsers, and ive cleared the temporary files in each to be sure that im not looking at a cached page stored locally. Wikipedia seems to link to an old or alternative page, but as soon as you navigate away from this page, the apostrophe is transcoded and therefore you end up at the actual up-to-date page.
Heading over to the URL "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Can%27t_Dance" leads you to the actual page that says "This page was last modified on 11 August 2008, at 11:10"
Perhaps It wasnt a good idea to edit the page without talking about it first. but all I was tring to do was to redirect to the transcoded URL so that the out-of-date page would be bypassed entirely.Silver007 (talk) 06:13, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've replied at User talk:Silver007. -- Why Not A Duck 18:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Problem has fixed itself, most likely it was something wrong on my end, and not wikipedia's fault. Silver007 (talk) 06:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cover?[edit]

Has this song been covered? I thought I heard a cover of it on the radio earlier today but didn't have time to stop and listen. Anyone aware of a cover? 86.138.125.109 (talk) 21:24, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 01:21, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Sources[edit]

I was the user who originally added most of the info from the "Background" section of the article, The information comes from an Interview that was available on youtube which is no longer there, User:Dawnseeker2000 rightfully removed the references/links, but now that big ol' "Does not cite references" banner is there. I am fairly certain the interview is available on the DVD release The Way We Walk – Live in Concert, But since I do not own this DVD I can't verify if it is or not. I first saw the interview during a television broadcast of the Concert with the interviews spliced in before each song, which is why I'm assuming the Interviews on the DVD should be the same ones. If someone does own DVD set, please check.Silver007 (talk) 05:27, 9 March 2013 (UTC)l[reply]

Well over a year later... the interview in question has resurfaced on Youtube, I can confirm that yes this interview is from the The Way We Walk – Live in Concert DVD original release. Here is a link to that video But I did not include it in the article due to the fact that it is probably copyright infringement, and may be removed sometime in the future just like it was last time. This source covers most of the background section with exception to the first 3 sentences. Which are still unsourced.Silver007 (talk) 08:44, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
