I noticed you added many Wikilinks to the Finnish Wikipedia, especially at Hero of Belarus. If there is anything you need, just let me know. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:20, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Sápmi kit picture
What do you mean by license information? I created the picture myself. Deallus 12:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I uploaded it to Wikimedia Commons so other language versions can use it. --SM 13:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Tytti Isohookana-Asunmaa
Why did you remove the joke at Tytti Isohookana-Asunmaa? It's not very often we see a politician named after two rappers. J I P | Talk 17:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't think encyclopedia is the right place for that kind of jokes. --SM 20:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Removal of map
Hi, why did you remove the map Image:Football world popularity.png from the football (soccer) page? What is untrue about it? The sources used for it are noted on the image page. – Elisson • T • C • 16:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Savonian people
Hey, you applied the article to be featured on the main page as "did you know..". The article is a stub right now, so it can't be featured as dyk. But please expand it, it should be easy since the Finnish article is quite comprehensive. For example, few of my articles that have been on main page include Aimo Lahti, Aero Flight 311. They don't have to be that long but they should have references. --Pudeo⺮ 20:04, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Savonlinnan Pallokerhon logo.svg.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Savonlinnan Pallokerhon logo.svg.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm!
I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.

People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 10:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability.

Finland and the 1908 Olympics
Hi there. Just to let you know, the reason there are Russian flags next to the Finnish wrestlers at Wrestling at the 1908 Summer Olympics is that Finland was part of Russia at the time. See Grand Duchy of Finland. The Olympic organizers, under pressure from Russia, required the Finnish athletes to compete under the Russian flag even while fielding a separate team. Hope this helps. -- Jonel (Speak to me) 03:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Team Finland (M-1 Challenge)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Team Finland (M-1 Challenge), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process  because of the following concern:
 * Useless is not continiously updated

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- aktsu (t / c) 04:50, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Lauri Dalla Valle
Do you have a source for Dalla Valle refusing to play for Finand under-21s? GiantSnowman 17:55, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes. I put now the Finnish language news article refenrence in the Dalla Valle page. --SM (talk) 18:04, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Many thanks! Regards, GiantSnowman 18:30, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Finnish league isn't professional
Where's your proof that it is? Both WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues and Veikkausliiga say it isn't fully professional. Removing the PRODs without a valid reason isn't enough. Spiderone 07:24, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Deljan Bregasi
Your removal of the PROD here shows a complete lack of understanding of WP:ATHLETE. Yes, Serie A is professional but he hasn't played in the Serie A, he is just a youth player and there is absolutely no guarantee that he will play in future. Also under 17 caps are worthless in fact even under 21 caps don't justify notability. If someone was capped at youth level for American Samoa, for example, they would still fail WP:ATH. Spiderone 07:30, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Bregasi has a professional contract with Sampdoria, so he is a pro player in one of the top leagues of Europe. --SM (talk) 09:36, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

 * That is irrelevant, I'm afraid. Unless he has a claim to fame like Gael Kakuta, he fails notability. See Articles for deletion/Mattia Destro Spiderone  09:38, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Doesn't matter if the player is professional
See WP:ATHLETE. The club or the league must be professional and in the case of Finland neither is professional so your keep votes are invalid unless you can prove either that Finland is professional or that they have played in the main stages of the Champions League or UEFA Cup/Europa League. Don't vote keep unless you know the rules of WP:ATHLETE. Spiderone 13:43, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Finland's league is still professional. I don't need to prove that in every article or comment. Playing in UCL or UEFA Cup has nothing to do with this, and yes, Finnish clubs have played in European competitions. You should stop giving false information. --SM (talk) 13:48, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Finland's league isn't professional until someone links us to a website that isn't Wikipedia that tells us that everyone is on a full-time contract. Spiderone  13:56, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Of course everyone is. You can't play without contract. --SM (talk) 13:58, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * You can be on a part-time contract or an amateur contract too which means that the league isn't professional. Spiderone  14:08, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Again one more claim without any source. Of course it is not forbidden to play as an amateur but it does not make the league non-professional. Or are you telling that Spanish Primera division is a non-professional because Etxeberria is playing for free? --SM (talk) 14:19, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The source you provided clearly said that people have to work and do degrees around their football careers because it isn't enough to make a living out of. Simply put, the league isn't fully professional. Spiderone  14:27, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

 * It means more they have to plan their lifes future - playing in Finnish league does not make majority of players so rich that they don't have to do anything after the end of their playing career, which does not mean that the league is not professional! In 2001 questionary research within league players only 8 percent told they had had other jobs than football.  Now, almost 10 years later the league have advanced still.--SM (talk) 15:38, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Finland Fully pro league
Hi, I noticed you recently added a source that Finland is fully pro. As the page is in Finnish could you add some English text after the source to show the exact location i.e. as done for the Austria and Belarus entries above it. Thanks Eldumpo (talk) 13:32, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of The Monastic Protestant Community in Enonkoski
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is The Monastic Protestant Community in Enonkoski. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/The Monastic Protestant Community in Enonkoski. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:19, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mervi Tapola
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policywill be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Teapot  george Talk  13:28, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

 * It was not an attack page, and it was not unsourced. Please don't use scripts or bots if you can't control them. --SM (talk) 13:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I did not use a bot.. I read the article it was unsourced and contained defamatory remarks about an individual and it was deleted.  Teapot  george Talk  13:40, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mervi Tapola
A tag has been placed on Mervi Tapola requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Teapot  george Talk  13:37, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't think that is a nomination anymore if you already delete the page. In spite of all, I put the hangon template on the top of the page like you adwised. --SM (talk) 13:39, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Your Split of Sápmi_(area)
You moved parts of the Sápmi_(area) article into Lapland (region). By doing that I believe you created a parallel article. Please ,see the discussion in Talk:Sápmi_(area) about why the current name was chosen. Also, I don't see a good reason for why the geography should be in a separate article. Regards, Labongo (talk) 07:57, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Lapland is a geographic area and the English name for that area is Lapland. I don't see the reason for "Sapmi" area, I have never seen articles about that kind of "cultural areas" in en-Wikipedia. Much of the Sami people don't live in Lapland and they are only a small minority in Lapland. Couldn't that "Sami cultural region" information be included in the article of Sapmi people? --SM (talk) 09:54, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

 * There are already articles for Finnish Lapland, Swedish Lapland, etc (see Lapland for a list). Merging Sápmi_(area) and Sámi people is not practical as the latter is already too long. For a detailed discussion about these topics refer to the talk page discussion I linked above. Labongo (talk) 20:03, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, Wikipedia has separate articles of each country of Europe, but there still is article Europe. Like I said I don't see it reasonable to have an article of that kind of "cultural region", but however if there is, it doesn't mean Wikipedia should not have article of a region Lapland. For example there is entry of Lapland in Encyclopaedia Britannica, and Sápmi is only a Sami language word meaning Lapland. --SM (talk) 23:01, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I am not sure if I understand you. If you think that Sapmi and Lapland are the same, then "Sapmi (area)" and "Lapland (region)" are parallel articles (and should hence be avoided in Wikipedia). With regards to the name, there has already been a discussion about what the name of the article should be (as linked above). In summary the problem with the Lapland term is that it is confusing and not widely used in Norway and Russia. For example the counties Nordland and Nord-Troendelag in Norway has never been consider as part of Lapland. If you think articles about cultural regions should be deleted there are places where you can propose these for deletion. In conclusion, I will revert the removal of the geography information in Sápmi (area) and encourage you to delete the parallel Lapland (region) article. Labongo (talk) 23:51, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

 * No, please do not put words in my mouth. They are not parallel articles as long as the other is of "cultural region" and the article Lapland is a normal encyclopaedia entry of a region. In my opinion the best solution is to merge parts of the "Sapmi (area)" to Lapland and Sami people. Sami people and "Sapmi (area)"  are highly parallell. --SM (talk) 11:54, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * You are suggesting major changes to the article and should therefore start a thread on the articles talkpage. Note that "Sami People" is the parent article to the Sapmi article and hence it should contain a summary of the content in the Sapmi article. I still fail to understand the difference between an area and a region in this context. Labongo (talk) 22:58, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Lapland is an area in Northern Europe like and the Sami people are only a small minority there, so it deserves an article from the neutral point of view, not only as an "daughter article" of the Sami people article. I am not suggesting any chances to the article "Sápmi_(area)", because I still seem to fail to understand what its purpose is. --SM (talk) 04:19, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * The purpose of the Sapmi article is to describe "the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sámi people". I still don't understand the difference between Sapmi (area) and Lapland (region). Perhaps you can list which parts of the Lapland region are, or are not, part of Sapmi as defined by the article? The Sapmi article describes Lapland as "inner parts of Sápmi". Do you think this is correct? Labongo (talk) 06:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * The more reasonable way is to put it this way: why Wikipedia needs an separate article of "the cultural region traditionally inhabited by the Sámi people" if it is almost just the same as Lapland? Like I said before the issues especially related to the Sami population are already or could be included to the article Sami people. Now the article Sapmi (area) seems to be just article of Lapland with a Sami point of view and on a name that is uncommon (and so against the Naming conventions). --SM (talk) 13:59, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

 * And yes I saw the discussion Talk:Sápmi_(area) and i see the current name was chosen because you moved the article to that name. I don't think you are serious if you say Wikipedia should not have a neutral-point-of-view article of Lapland. --SM (talk) 12:03, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't remember if I did the move, but we were a couple of editors that discussed this and ended up in an consensus that the Sapmi name was better than Lapland. Labongo (talk) 22:58, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I read the article Sampi (area) and i saw multiple issues there. I tagged the page with "article issues" template.--SM (talk) 04:27, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe you need to be more specific and describe the issues you have in the talkpage. Labongo (talk) 06:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Now I have described more specifically the issues. I suggest that we continue this conversation in that talkpage. --SM (talk) 14:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree. I also added a link to this thread there. Labongo (talk) 06:43, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Natallia Tryfanava
A tag has been placed on Natallia Tryfanava requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Tom Voyce

Thomas Michael Dunstan Voyce (born 5 January 1981) is a former English rugby union player who played at wing or fullback. He previously played for England.

Voyce married Anna Wood in September 2015.

Biography
Born 5 January 1981 in Truro, Cornwall.

Voyce's great uncle, Anthony Thomas Voyce, won 27 caps for England, while playing for Gloucester Rugby, during the 1920s and was a member of the first double Grand Slam winning team. He went on to become President of the RFU in 1960–61.

Voyce was educated at Penair School, Truro and then studied at King's College, Taunton.

Outside the rugby field, Voyce is an Ambassador of the Wooden Spoon Society.

Career
He first showed promise playing mini rugby at Penryn RFC in his native Cornwall, before going on to play for Truro RFC U15s and U16s.

Bath 1997–2003
Having left Cornwall at 16, he eventually joined Bath where he worked his way through the club's lower sides and into the Zurich Premiership line up. At the same time he established himself in the England Under 21 side. He was selected for England's 2001 tour to North America, where he won his first cap against the USA.

Wasps 2003–2009
In 2003 he moved to London, to join Wasps for the 2003–04 season and quickly established himself as a first team regular. He played in 34 of his club's 35 matches that season, scoring 15 tries in the process. At the end of the season Wasps won the Premiership final against his former club Bath. He also helped Wasps win the Heineken Cup that season. In November 2004 he scored the quickest try in Premiership history when he gathered a loose ball from kick off and crossed by the posts in 9.63 seconds against Harlequins, beating Martin Corry's record by 14 seconds. Voyce was in the starting line up for the 2004 England summer tour matches against New Zealand in Auckland and Australia in Brisbane. He helped Wasps win their third consecutive Premiership title in 2005, this time scoring a try in the final against Leicester.

In 2005 he marked his first Twickenham Test appearance with two tries against Samoa.

Voyce was selected for every match of the 2006 Six Nations Championship. Initially selected for the bench in England's opener against Wales, Voyce quickly found himself on the pitch replacing injured Josh Lewsey, also scoring a try in the process. This injury meant that Voyce secured the number 15 jersey for the next game against Italy. However, Lewsey was soon fit again in time for the 3rd game, which meant that Voyce was once again relegated to the bench. After losing two games in a row, changes were made to the England squad meaning England regular Lewsey was dropped, opening up the fullback position for Voyce to start against Ireland. Later that year, he played his last international to date against Australia, in Sydney. His performance in such game was – according to himself – quite poor, and this might have jeopardised his international career.

Voyce won his second Heineken Cup with Wasps in 2007. However injury ruled him out of Wasps' victory in the 2007–08 Premiership final.

Gloucester 2009–2012
In March 2009, it was announced that he would join Gloucester Rugby from the 2009–10 season.

April 2012, departure from Gloucester announced.

London Welsh 2012–2013
In October 2012, he joined London Welsh. On 16 May 2013, it was announced Tom Voyce would retire from all forms of rugby with immediate effect.

Post-rugby career
Tom Voyce now works at Investec Bank Plc.

In the Wake of Determination

In the Wake of Determination is the second studio album by American rock band Story of the Year. The album is much heavier sounding than their debut album Page Avenue.

Background
Story of the Year released their debut album Page Avenue in September 2003 through major label Maverick Records. The album, which was produced by John Feldmann, received substantial airplay at radio and video outlets. By April 2004, the album was certified gold in the US. Vocalist Dan Marsala said the success of the album "started to get to all of us ... [We] got lumped in with all of these new bands ... that aren't really that good". Marsala became critical of Feldmann, stating that Feldmann "originally changed our sound. All of his records have the same sort of sound".

In July 2004, MTV reported that the group would start recording their next album in January 2005. In August, Marsala said the group were working on new material. After the touring cycle for Page Avenue concluded in late 2004, the group immediately began writing for their second album. Most of the writing sessions took place at guitarist Ryan Phillips' house, which also acted as a practice area. The writing sessions consisted of the group jamming eight hours a day for five days a week. Demos were recorded with Mbox and drum machine software.

Recording
Opting not to work with Feldmann again, the group brought in Steve Evetts to produce. Marsala said one of the reasons they chose Evetts was due to him producing some of Marsala's favorite albums. Marsala added that Evetts let the group have free rein in regards to doing whatever they wanted. The group wanted to capture their live sound, which Marsala said was a bit heavier than what was heard on Page Avenue. In late March, they started pre-production, which lasted into mid-April. Following this, they began recording drums at Gravity Studios in Chicago, Illinois. Here, the group performed alongside drummer Josh Wills while he tracked drums.

In late April, sessions moved to Phillips' personal studio, The Steamy Nook in St Louis, Missouri. Phillips reasoned that it was better to do it at home since they would have more time to record, since travelling wouldn't be a factor. They began tracking guitars until early May. Phillips tracked his guitar solos in a single day, and by the end, "there was skin hanging off all of my fingers and I could barely bend the strings anymore." Evetts engineered the sessions with assistance from Allan Hessler. The recordings were mixed by Evetts at Bay 7 in Valley Glen, California, before being mastered by Tom Baker at Precision Mastering.

Composition
In the Wake of Determination drew comparison to Thrice, with Marsala's voice recalling Bad Religion frontman Greg Graffin. Discussing the title, Marsala said: "[W]e knew exactly what we wanted to do, and we knew how we wanted to come across. We were just really determined ... That was our mindset the entire time." All of the music and lyrics were written by the band. After the music was written, Marsala and bassist Adam Russell would get together and fit the lyrics to it. On some occasions, Marsala would bring a lot of lyrics that required minor tweaking. On other occasions, the pair would be in a room for hours before coming up with a line. Throughout the process, some of the members were worried about living up to the expectations of Page Avenue. For this album, Phillips focused on making his solos complement the song, fit within the structure, and come across as more melodic. On the demos, Phillips' solos featured tapping and shredding, something that he realized was due to simply wanting "gnarly solos."

Tracks 1–5
"We Don't Care Anymore" was one of the last songs written for the album. Marsala said the song was about "doing things for yourself, not for the approval of others." According to Phillips, the track was a result of an agreement between him and his girlfriend: "I got all pissed off, got up, opened up Pro-tools, and started recording shit. By 6 am I had the entire song recorded." "Take Me Back" drew comparison to Siren Song of the Counter Culture (2004)-era Rise Against. It talks about growing up and learning how ignorance is bliss. Russell claimed half of the lyrics happened by accident, due to him and Marsala writing a few pages of lyrics about the same topic. According to Phillips, the song's initial iteration "didn't work", so the group re-worked it until it evolved into a "full on rock tune."

With "Our Time Is Now", Marsala aimed to write a positive song that "made people want to get up off their ass and do something". The track bounces between the groove metal and punk rock styles; Marsala took inspiration from his favorite hardcore punk albums. Marsala said "Taste the Poison" was about "any kind of addiction." He explained: "I've seen a lot of friends let things consume them and in the long run it ends up ruining everything they've worked for." The track originally ran for over 6 minutes, however, when the group tried working on it, they initially had no success with it. Marsala wrote the majority of lyrics for "Stereo" while on a plane. He said it was about the state of the music industry and how people in it were focused on making money instead of enjoying the music they write. Russell said the track had "all the cool elements" of Page Avenue mixed in with "more intensity and heaviness."

Tracks 6–13
"Five Against the World" originally had a different chorus, which Marsala said "just wasn't strong enough" compared to the verses. They came up with another chorus for it during recording. Marsala said the track was about how far they've progressed as a group. Phillips was inspired to write the song after watching Cocktail (1988). Russell said it had elements of Pantera, Foo Fighters, Boston and hardcore punk. "Sleep" was nearly left off the album. Guitarist Philip Sneed said the track lacked vocals and the structure needed work. After choosing all of the songs intended for the album, Phillips showed some unused demos to Evetts. Upon hearing the one for "Sleep", he insisted that it be recorded. The group subsequently rewrote it. "Meathead" displays the band's hardcore punk origins; the music for it was written six months before lyrics were added. Marsala was struggling with what to write about for it until he and Russell "realized that we needed a song about tough guy assholes."

"March of the Dead" was the first track the group worked on for the album. Marsala said the track is "just encouraging people not to be lead blindly into any situation." It originally featured several time signatures and tempo changes until the group worked on it during pre-production. The chorus initially existed as four separate ideas that were combined into one. With "Pay Your Enemy", Marsala wanted to write "a good heavy sing along" track. The guitar riff in the bridge was taken from a Page Avenue outtake. Marsala was hesitant with "Wake Up the Voiceless" when Phillips showed him the track as he thought it sounded more like Survivor. Wills said the song had an "Eye of the Tiger"-feel to it. ""Is This My Fate?" He Asked Them" tackles the theme of discrimination against the LGBT community. Phillips came up with the main riff for it when he was jamming with a friend of his. Russell, who normally did not write music, came up with the riff in the chorus. The album's hidden track "A Silent Murder / Slow Jam" was conceived as the intro for "Taste the Poison". Phillips said it was split into separate tracks after Marsala tracked "this awesome melody" over it.

Release
On July 22, 2005, In the Wake of Determination was announced for release in October, and "We Don't Care Anymore" was posted on the group's Myspace profile. "Our Time Is Now" was posted on Myspace on August 2. The group performed on the Warped Tour between August 3 and 15. "We Don't Care Anymore" was released to radio on August 16. On the same day, "Take Me Back" was posted on the band's Myspace. Around this time, a music video was filmed for "We Don't Care Anymore". It was shot on a Los Angeles soundstage with director Kevin Kerslake. On August 27, the album's track listing and artwork were revealed. A few people came up with ideas for the artwork, which the group were hesitant to go with. As a result, Phillips and Russell created the final artwork.

In September and October, the group went on a US tour with Funeral for a Friend, Anberlin and He Is Legend. To coincide with the tour, the "We Don't Care Anymore" music video was released. Between September 22 and the album's release, the group uploaded behind-the-scenes clips taken during the recording process. In the Wake of Determination was released on October 11 through Maverick Records. The iTunes edition included the bonus track "Unheard Voices". Throughout the week, the group performed songs from it on Fuse's 7th Avenue Drop program. In October and November, the band performed on the International Taste of Chaos tour which visited Mexico, Australia, Japan, the UK and Germany. The band did a number of radio shows, and some headlining shows with support from Stretch Arm Strong, in December.

In January 2006, the group went tour with Every Time I Die, From First to Last, He Is Legend and Adair. "Take Me Back" was released to radio on January 17. Two days later, a music video was released for the track. From February to April, the band went on the 2006 Taste of Chaos North American tour; they were replaced by Thursday for the Canadian dates. Also in April, the band went on tour of the UK with Stretch Arm Strong and Bleed the Dream. To coincide with this, "Take Me Back" was released as a CD single with live versions of "Until the Day I Die" and "And the Hero Will Drown" as B-sides. In July, the band went on a tour Japan and South Korea, before touring Canada alongside Hawthorne Heights and Anberlin, In October and November, the band went on a tour of the US alongside Anberlin, Greeley Estates and Monty Are I.

Reception
AllMusic reviewer Johnny Loftus said the album was a "rewardingly heavy" collection that manages to be accessible for those that enjoyed the power ballad "Anthem of Our Dying Day" on Page Avenue. Loftus complimented Evetts production, saying he brought out the "hardness without shutting down" the group's melodic nature. Music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "dud". Ariana Rock of Exclaim! wrote that the group created an "epic" record that "gets the kids singing along, stomping their feet and screaming their names." While complimenting the "crunching guitars and anthemic choruses", Rock compared the band to Thrice. Melodic staff member Kaj Roth said the album was a "natural" follow-up to Page Avenue in that it featured "all the classic ingredients from screamo emo to energetic riffs and melodic choruses."

Selling close to 42,000 copies in its first week, In the Wake of Determination charted at number 19 on the Billboard 200. It also charted at number 17 on the Digital Albums chart. Outside of the US, it charted at number 38 in Australia and number 149 in the UK. "We Don't Care Anymore" charted at number 11 on the Alternative Songs chart and number 36 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

Other uses
While Ethiopia and Eritrea both officially use UTC+03:00, Ethiopian and Eritrean culture follow a time system with two 12-hour cycles for day and night, and is 6 hours "slower" than the official time. The day begins with the day cycle at sunrise (6:00 a.m., but designated as 12 o'clock by local rendition) till sunset, followed by the night cycle (official 6:00 p.m., unofficial 12:00 night cycle). Therefore, the people of Ethiopia and Eritrea effectively follow UTC−03:00 instead of UTC+03:00.

Midway through her junior year of high school, O'Keefe left school to star on the soap opera Another World, playing Marguerite "Maggie" Cory. She then got a role on Nash Bridges playing Cassidy, the daughter of Don Johnson's title character. She and her mother moved to Hollywood so O'Keefe completed her schooling by mail.

SMS Friedrich der Grosse (1874)

SMS Friedrich der Grosse  (or Große ) was an ironclad turret ship built for the German Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy). She was the second of three Preussen-class ironclads, in addition to her two sister-ships SMS Preussen (1873) and SMS Grosser Kurfürst (1875). Named for Frederick the Great, she was laid down at the Imperial Dockyard in Kiel in 1871 and completed in 1877. Her main battery of four 26 cm guns was mounted in a pair of twin gun turrets amidships.

Friedrich der Grosse served with the fleet from her commissioning until 1896, though she was frequently placed in reserve throughout her career. The ship was a regular participant in the annual fleet training maneuvers, except in the mid-1880s when she was temporarily replaced by newer vessels. She participated in several cruises in the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas, often escorting Kaiser Wilhelm II on official state visits. The ship was removed from active service in 1896, after which she was used in secondary roles until 1919, then stricken from the naval register, sold to a scrapyard, and broken up for scrap the following year.

Design

The three Preussen-class ironclads were authorized under the naval program of 1867, which had been approved by the Reichstag (Imperial Diet) to strengthen the North German Federal Navy in the wake of the Second Schleswig War, when the weak, then-Prussian Navy had been unable to break the blockade imposed by the Danish Navy. Initially ordered as casemate ships, the vessels were re-designed as turret ships; they were the first uniform class of ironclads built by for the German fleet.

Friedrich der Grosse was 96.59 m long overall and had a beam of 16.30 m and a draft of 7.12 m forward. Friedrich der Grosse was powered by one 3-cylinder single expansion steam engine, which drove a single screw propeller. Steam was supplied by six coal-fired transverse trunk boilers, which were vented into a single funnel. The ship's top speed was 14 kn, at 4998 PS. She was also equipped with a full ship rig. Her standard complement consisted of 46 officers and 454 enlisted men.

She was armed with a main battery of four 26 cm L/22 guns mounted in a pair of gun turrets placed on the centerline amidships. As built, the ship was also equipped with two 17 cm RK L/25 chase guns, one in the bow and one in the stern. After being rebuilt in 1888–1890, her armament was increased by six and later ten 8.8 cm L/30 quick-firing guns, a pair of machine guns, and five 35 cm torpedo tubes in the ship's hull below the waterline.

Friedrich der Grosse's armor was made of wrought iron and backed with teak. The armored belt was arrayed in two strakes. The upper strake was 203 mm thick; the lower strake ranged in thickness from 102 to 229 mm. Both were backed with 234 to 260 mm of teak. The gun turrets were protected by 203 to 254 mm armor on the sides, backed by 260 mm of teak.

Construction – 1881

Friedrich der Grosse was ordered by the Imperial Navy from the Königliche Werft (Royal Dockyard) in Kiel on 9 January 1870, but the beginning of construction was delayed by the Franco-Prussian War that broke out later that year. The ship's keel was laid down on 15 April 1871 under construction number 1. The ship, named for the Prussian king Frederick the Great, was launched on 20 September 1874, and at the launching ceremony, Kaiser Wilhelm I christened the ship. She was commissioned to begin sea trials on 22 November 1877. Although laid down a year before her sister SMS Preussen (1873), Friedrich der Grosse was not completed until a year after; this was because she was built at a newly established and inexperienced Imperial Dockyard, while Preussen was built by AG Vulcan, an experienced private shipbuilder.

Her initial testing was carried out in the Baltic Sea, but trials were interrupted in early January 1878, when Friedrich der Grosse was transferred to Wilhelmshaven, where she was placed in reserve with a reduced crew under the command of Korvettenkapitän (Corvette Captain) Gustav Stempel. Here, final fitting out was completed, after which she resumed trials, which concluded on 19 May in Kiel. At that time, Kapitän zur See (KzS—Captain at Sea) Paul von Reibnitz relieved Stempel as the ship's commander. The month before, Friedrich der Grosse was assigned to the Ironclad Training Squadron to participate in the annual summer fleet maneuvers, under the command of Konteradmiral (Rear Admiral) Carl Ferdinand Batsch. Her newly commissioned sister-ship, SMS Grosser Kurfürst (1875), joined the squadron shortly before maneuvers were scheduled to begin. At the time, Friedrich der Grosse suffered from mechanical problems, and on 22 May, while steaming in bad weather from Kiel to Wilhelmshaven, she ran aground off Nyborg. The ship had to be towed free, and suffered serious damage to her hull, including a 60 m long gash in the outer skin of her double bottom. The damage, coupled with her chronic engine problems, forced her to miss the fleet maneuvers, which were cancelled soon after following the accidental sinking of her sister Grosser Kurfürst in a collision with the ironclad SMS König Wilhelm. Friedrich der Grosse was decommissioned for repairs on 8 June.

In the aftermath of the loss of Grosser Kurfürst, the Navy canceled the summer 1878 maneuvers. Apart from the small ironclad SMS Hansa (1872), all armored warships were put in reserve until the following year. In May 1879, the armored squadron was reactivated, under the command of Konteradmiral Franz Kinderling. Friedrich der Grosse was recommissioned, still under Reibnitz's command on 5 May to join the unit, which also included Preussen and the older ironclads SMS Friedrich Carl (1867) and SMS Kronprinz (1867). The squadron remained in the Baltic for the majority of the training period. Kinderling took his four ships out into the North Sea in June for a visit to Norway. While leaving Kiel on 23 June, Friedrich der Grosse lost one of her propellers. The four ships returned to Kiel in September, when the squadron was disbanded for the winter. The ships were visited by the Kaiser on 19 September, and Friedrich der Grosse was decommissioned six days later.

In the spring of 1880, the squadron was again reestablished, and Friedrich der Grosse was recommissioned to join it on 3 May; Reibnitz served a third stint as the ship's captain. She briefly conducted sea trials, beginning on 13 May, before joining the rest of the squadron on the 24th. The new armored corvette SMS Sachsen replaced Kronprinz in the squadron that year. Wilhelm von Wickede, a former Austrian naval officer, replaced Kinderling as the squadron commander. In June, the Italian screw corvette ITALIAN CORVETTE Cristoforo Colombo visited the armored squadron in Kiel. Again, the squadron remained in the Baltic for the summer cruise, with the exception of a short visit to Wilhelmshaven and Cuxhaven in August. The year's training activities included battle practice in the western Baltic, followed by large-scale maneuvers in the North and Baltic Seas. The ship was decommissioned for the winter and recommissioned for the 1881 training cycle on 3 May. KzS Eduard von Knorr became the ship's captain at that time. The summer cruise that year followed the same pattern as the previous year, though Kronprinz returned in place of Sachsen, which was plagued with engine problems. Wickede again served as the commander. In July, the ships hosted a visit by the British reserve squadron, which by this time included the first British ironclad, HMS Warrior (1860). Preussen and the rest of the squadron visited Danzig in September during a meeting between Kaiser Wilhelm I and the Russian Tsar Alexander III. Friedrich der Grosse was thereafter transferred from Kiel to Wilhelmshaven, where she joined the North Sea Naval Station, being decommissioned there on 30 September.

1882–1919

The 1882 training year followed a similar pattern to previous years; the ship was recommissioned on 2 May, again under Knorr's command. The summer cruise included the same four ironclads from the previous year, and was again commanded by Wickede, who had by then been promoted to Konteradmiral. Friedrich der Grosse was kept in reserve during the annual summer maneuvers starting in 1883, as new ships, including the rest of the Sachsen-class ironclads entered service. From 1883 to 1885, the ship underwent a modernization that included new boilers and a reconstructed poop deck. Two 37 mm Hotchkiss guns and five torpedo tubes were added in above-water mounts. During this period, the ship was commanded by KzS Bartholomäus von Werner to undergo periodic sea trials as work on the ship was carried out. The ship was reactivated on 6 April 1888 to participate in the year's training activities. After conducting trials in the Jade Bay, before join the rest of the squadron in Kiel on 22 May. The ships embarked on a tour of the Baltic for the newly enthroned Kaiser Wilhelm II in July, by which time KzS Ernst von Reiche took command of the ship. The voyage included visits to St. Petersburg, Stockholm, and Copenhagen. They met Alexander III and the Swedish King Oscar II, who inspected the German warships and conferred decorations on the senior officers. Friedrich der Grosse participated in that year's fleet maneuvers, and on 29 September the ship departed the Baltic for Wilhelmshaven. She was decommissioned there temporarily before being reactivated on 1 October as the active ship of the newly created Reserve Division of the North Sea. In that role, she served as the guard ship in Wilhelmshaven, in company with the aviso SMS Wacht. KzS Oscar Klausa became the ship's captain at that time.

Friedrich der Grosse returned to Kiel on 4 May 1889 to join the Training Squadron for the year; she arrived three days later. In August 1889, Friedrich der Grosse participated in Kaiser Wilhelm II's visit to Great Britain. The ship was assigned to II Division, along with her sister Preusse and the central battery ironclads SMS Kaiser (1874) and SMS Deutschland (1874), under command of Konteradmiral Friedrich von Hollmann. The fleet then conducted maneuvers in the North Sea before returning to Germany. The squadron was initially disbanded at the end of August, and Friedrich der Grosse went to Wilhelmshaven to undergo an overhaul. But the work was interrupted when she and the rest of II Division were recalled to become the training squadron for the fleet in 1889–1890, the first year the Kaiserliche Marine maintained a year-round ironclad force. Friedrich der Grosse and Preussen left Wilhelmshaven on 26 September to join the squadron in Plymouth, Britain, arriving there three days later. The squadron escorted Wilhelm II's imperial yacht to the Mediterranean; the voyage included state visits to Italy and the Ottoman Empire. The ships also escorted Wilhelm on a visit to Athens, Greece, for the marriage of his sister Sophie to Prince Constantine. The squadron remained in the Mediterranean until April 1890, when it departed for Germany. The ships stopped in Lisbon, Portugal, on the way back, before arriving in Wilhelmshaven on 22 April.

Friedrich der Grosse returned to the Kaiserliche Werft (Imperial Shipyard) in Wilhelmshaven for the overhaul that had been deferred from the previous year. The work was completed by 8 May, and Friedrich der Grosse immediately departed for Kiel to join the Training Squadron. The unit conducted maneuvers from 9 June to the end of the month before escorting Wilhelm II on a state visit to Christiania, Norway. She participated in the ceremonial transfer of the island of Helgoland from British to German control later in July. She was present during the fleet maneuvers in September, where the entire eight-ship armored squadron simulated a Russian fleet blockading Kiel. II Division, including Friedrich der Grosse. The exercises also included joint operations with army units along the coast of Schleswig. The maneuvers concluded on 11 September, and four days later the ship returned to Wilhelmshaven, where she was decommissioned on 22 September for a more thorough overhaul. Friedrich der Grosse remained out of service until 10 October 1891, when she was recommissioned and assigned to II Division of the Training Squadron. KzS Oscar von Schuckmann took command of the ship for her next two years in service. She took part in training operations in the winter of 1891–1892, which began with exercises in the North Sea before transitioning to the Baltic in January 1892. She took part in a naval review held in Kiel for the visit of Alexander III on 7 June. The 1892 maneuvers lasted from 23 August until 28 September, which included exercises in the North and Baltic Seas. The fleet was commanded by Konteradmiral Hans von Koester for the duration of the maneuvers. Friedrich der Grosse thereafter returned to Wilhelmshaven to resume her old role as guard ship in the Reserve Division there.

After returning to active service in 1893, Friedrich der Grosse embarked on a solo cruise in the Baltic before joining the rest of the fleet later that year. She participated in the 1893 maneuvers, which included a simulation of a French naval attack in the North Sea. In mid-October, she joined II Division, but had to return to Wilhelmshaven on 2 December for periodic maintenance. The following year, Friedrich der Grosse, König Wilhelm, and Deutschland joined the new battleship SMS Brandenburg in the II Division of what had been redesignated as the Maneuver Squadron, under the command of Konteradmiral Otto von Diederichs. In April 1894, II Division conducted a training cruise to prepare for the annual summer maneuvers. While steaming off Frisia, König Wilhelm ran aground and Friedrich der Grosse assisted in pulling her free. The ships then proceeded to Scotland via Oslo and Bergen. The division returned to Kiel at the end of May to replenish its stocks of coal and provisions for the summer exercises. KzS Wilhelm Büchsel then took command of the ship; he was to be her final commander. The ships simulated a Russian attack on Germany's Baltic coast in the 1894 maneuvers.

The navy considered rebuilding the ship into an armored cruiser along similar lines to the Kaiser-class ironclads to relieve SMS Kaiser (1874) in East Asian waters, but the plans came to nothing. Friedrich der Grosse was instead decommissioned on 12 October 1894 and assigned to the inactive reserve. She was transferred from the list of warships to the list of special purpose ships on 16 November 1896, and thereafter became a harbor ship. She was struck from the list of active vessels on 21 May 1906 and from late 1906 served as a coal hulk for torpedo boats. Friedrich der Grosse served in this capacity until after the end of World War I; she was removed from the naval register on 27 January 1919. She was sold to shipbreakers and broken up for scrap the following year in Rönnebeck.

Sky High (2005 film)

Sky High is a 2005 American superhero comedy film directed by Mike Mitchell, and written by Paul Hernandez, and Kim Possible creators Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle. The film stars Kelly Preston, Michael Angarano, Danielle Panabaker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Kurt Russell. It follows Will Stronghold (Angarano), the son of two superheroes who is enrolled in an airborne high school for teenage superheroes where his powers kick in. He must deal with a growing distance from his old friends, a threat from a mysterious supervillain and get the girl of his dreams.

The film was theatrically released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution on July 29, 2005, and grossed $86.4 million worldwide against a production budget of $35 million. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences during its original theatrical run, and has since been recognized as a cult film.

Plot
Will Stronghold lives with his superhero parents, Steve Stronghold / The Commander and Josie DeMarco-Stronghold / Jetstream, in Maxville. Will is anxious about attending his parents' alma mater, Sky High, a school located on a secret floating campus, because he secretly has not developed any superpowers yet.

On their first day, he, his best friend Layla Williams, and the other freshmen are harassed by seniors Speed, Lash, and Penny Lent and meet Gwen Grayson, a popular senior and technopath who Will falls for. Additionally, Will is assigned to the "Hero Support" curriculum and becomes a sidekick due to his lack of powers, though Layla joins him in protest of the school's two-track education system.

Unaware of what happened to his son, Steve shows Will his hidden trophy room, the Secret Sanctum. He expresses particular fondness for the "Pacifier", a weapon he took from his presumed dead arch-nemesis Royal Pain 16 years earlier, failing to notice a hidden camera in a separate trophy.

Though he befriends his fellow sidekicks, Will comes into conflict with pyrokinetic student Warren Peace, whose supervillain father was imprisoned by Steve. In the ensuing fight, Will develops his father's super-strength. Upon being transferred to the Hero curriculum, Will spends more time with Gwen and her friends, ignoring Layla and the sidekicks. Layla later confides to Warren that she has a crush on Will while Gwen comes over to Will's house to invite his parents as honored guests to the Homecoming dance and they spend the evening together.

On the day before the dance, Gwen tricks Will into throwing a party at his house and has Speed secretly steal the Pacifier. Layla tries investigating the party but falls for Gwen's lies that Will knows about her feelings for him and is too polite to reject her. As Layla leaves in tears, Will breaks up with Gwen and refuses to attend the dance. After discovering the Pacifier was stolen, Will searches his father's yearbook and sees a student resembling Gwen named Sue Tenny, who disappeared before his parents' graduation. Assuming Tenny became Royal Pain and Gwen is her daughter, Will heads to Sky High to stop her with help from bus driver Ron Wilson.

At the dance, Gwen reveals herself as Royal Pain, having been de-aged by the Pacifier during her presumed death. With Speed, Lash, and Penny's aid, she captures and de-ages the students, staff, and Will's parents, intending to raise them as supervillains as revenge for Sky High making her a sidekick when she attended as Tenny due to her powers not being understood at the time. After reconciling with Layla, Will teams up with her, Warren, Ron, and the other sidekicks to rescue the captives and defeat Gwen's allies, during which Will develops Josie's flight power. Though Gwen sabotages the school's anti-gravity drive, the sidekicks successfully restart it and Will returns the school to the sky.

With Sky High saved, Gwen and her allies are given detention while her captives are restored to their proper ages. Ron falls into a vat of toxic waste and becomes a superhero. Will becomes best friends with Warren and enters a relationship with Layla.

Production
Exterior shots of the Sky High school were filmed at the Oviatt Library at California State University in Northridge in late 2004.

In between working on the first and second seasons of the animated series Kim Possible, creators Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle had begun writing a script for a live-action adaptation, which ultimately never came to fruition. Impressed with their work, the filmmakers asked them to look into re-writing the script for Sky High, which had been previously shelved. McCorkle believes they were recruited for Sky High because "they liked the idea of a superhero high school. I think, reading how we wrote teens in Kim Possible, they felt like, 'This feels good and contemporary, and maybe you can apply that to this project for us.' Similar to Kim Possible, Schooley and McCorkle wrote Sky High to be equally appealing to both children and adults. According to scifi.com, Disney was attracted by the "original concept" of "children of superheroes going to high school", originally conceived by screenwriter Paul Hernandez in the 1990s.

After recruiting Schooley and McCorkle to update Hernandez's script (they only wrote the beginning and ending sequences) Disney hired several comedians such as Kevin McDonald, Dave Foley, and Kevin Heffernan for supporting roles. For the main roles, the casting was a mix of established and new teenage actors: while Michael Angarano and Mary Elizabeth Winstead were already successful, Danielle Panabaker was little-known and former model Steven Strait was hired after his first audition ever.

Director Mike Mitchell said that Sky High functions on two premises: "the adults are all insane" and "the girls are smarter than the boys": the adults portrayed in the film tend to be caricatured, while the teenage girls are written as more assertive and powerful than the boys. The film also employed extensive usage of Dutch angles. For the treatment of the teenage actors, Mitchell also stated that the actors all had their own trailers and were generally kept separated, because "we did not want them to date after the second week and break up after the fourth", which would have made filming difficult.

Mitchell, a science fiction fan, admitted that this project "was a dream", because it brought him together with four of his favorite SF cult heroes: Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter, Snake Plissken actor Kurt Russell, Ash Williams actor Bruce Campbell, and Cloris Leachman, who earned fame as Frau Blücher in Young Frankenstein.

Music
The soundtrack album for the film was released by Hollywood Records on July 26, 2005, and is composed of covers of songs from the 1980s (with the exception of "Just What I Needed", which was from 1978). While none of the film's score, composed by Michael Giacchino, was included on the album, a limited edition of his score was released by Intrada Records in 2017.

Reception
AllMusic rated the album 2.5/5, saying that it "stumbles more than it succeeds" and is "painfully conventional."

Box office
On an estimated budget of US$35 million, the film grossed just under $64 million in the US, and another $22 million internationally, bringing the total to $86 million.

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of based on reviews from  critics, with an average rating of. The site's critical consensus states: "This highly derivative superhero coming-of-age flick is moderately entertaining, family-friendly fluff." On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 62 based on reviews from 29 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade A− on a scale of A+ to F.

Joe Leydon of Variety magazine praised the film calling it: "Smartly written and sprightly played, Sky High satisfies with a clever commingling of spoofy superheroics, school-daze hijinks" and "this lively live-action Disney release stands on its own merits as a tongue-in-cheek fantasy with cross-generational appeal." Neil Smith at BBC.com wrote: "While originality is hardly the film's strongest suit, its agreeable mix of knowing spoof and kid-pleasing fantasy makes it considerably more engaging than some of the 'straight' superhero blockbusters we've suffered recently."

Since its initial release, Sky High has been received more favorably in retrospective reviews and has developed a cult following, particularly due to its lighthearted homage to superhero tropes. Mark Harrison, writing for Den of Geek, summarized, "With a cast made up of bright young things and cult favourites and a script that goes post-modern without ever getting arch or snarky, Sky High is a real gem from Disney’s live action catalogue. It borrows from JK Rowling, John Hughes, Joss Whedon and any number of comic books and yet still stands on its own. Next to the current superhero boom, it was so ahead of its time that a decade later, it seems sharper and funnier than ever".

Cancelled sequel and TV series
In November 2016, Disney announced a sequel to Sky High was in early development stages. In January 2019, Sky High director Mike Mitchell revealed earlier plans to make a franchise, but due to the film's box-office performance, nothing came to be. The sequel would have been titled Save U (Save University) and featured the characters from Sky High graduating from high school and attending college. There were also plans to make a TV series, which the main actors (save for Kurt Russell and Kelly Preston) had signed on to reprise their roles for, but there have been no new developments for it as of 2024.

In March 2024, Mitchell still expressed interest in a sequel, but pointed out that since Disney bought Marvel, they only see them as their superhero output. He has stated that he would like to do a Sky High inspired project set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
