Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Someone when typing the entry misspelled Broadway.

[edit] Release Date

The poster shows July 20th but the info bar shows July 27th. Davi Williams 19:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Temporal and grammatical distortion

The article states:

"Hairspray is a film adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name. The Broadway musical was made after the 1988 film"

"Ricki Lake, who played Tracy Turnblad in the 1988 version"

"More recently, Tony-award winner Marissa Jaret Winokur, who originated Tracy Turnblad in the Broadway version"

Winokur couldn't have "originated Tracy Turnblad in the Broadway version" if the character was played by Lake in a film version which preceded the Broadway version. She may have instantiated the character in the Broadway version.

I think that what you call grammatical distortion could simply be your lack of understanding of Broadway terminology. Ricki lake did not originate the role of Tracy Turnblad as we know her in the musical, but rather created the role in the film. That's like saying that Idina Menzel didn't originate the role of Elphaba or that Daphne Rubin-Vega didn't originate Mimi
