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. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no This article may need an appropriate infobox template.

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

[edit] About a song by The Treniers...

...the good spelling is "Rockin'on a Sunday night" originally issued on Okeh/COLUMBIA-CBS # 6904, US, August 1952...S. Koenig - My pleasure, indeed!

Again, why are you not using your registered username? Anyway, according to the Okeh/Columbia compilation CD "They Rock! They Roll! They Swing!" the proper title is "Rocking on Sunday Night." I believe this is also the title displayed in the opening credits of the movie. 23skidoo 14:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bill Haley songs category

There is a brief reference to the single from which this film takes its name, so that justifies categorizing it thus, and also adding it to the Songs WikiProject, however a section on the song itself will need to be added. I'll try and do so when I have time. 23skidoo 14:52, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted material

An anonymous IP user added a large amount of copy to this article on Jan. 1 which I have regretfully reverted. My rationale for doing so is too much of the material consisted of essay-like, POV statements verging on movie review. Comments such as Alan Dale's career being in a slump at the time need sources for verification. A general description of the plot and basic information is fine without citation as the film is the source, but making comments such as "audiences didn't come for the plot" are unacceptable on Wikipedia unless there's a source that actually says this. Of course, quoting (with attribution) reviewers and other writers commenting on the film is fine. 23skidoo (talk) 00:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
