Talk:Blackrock (film)

Potential sources

 * "Excellent sound track"
 * "LOUD (mainly because of the hard alt-rock music that accompanies the scenes) and tough Australian teen-pic about a coastal community that's sent into a state of shock by the murder of a 15-year-old girl after an all-night beach party."
 * Vidler quoted in the special features on the DVD: "The soundtrack is very strong, tall, particularly for younger audiences. It's something that they've come to expect and we spent a hell of a lot of time and consideration finding, sifting thought hundreds and hundreds of CDs, you know, as they kind of came off the presses trying to find stuff that was not only appropriate for the film but would also be appealing to the audiences and hopefully, you know, would be released around the same time as the film, which isn't as easy as it sounds!"

Congratulations!
Congratulations on appearing on Wikipedia's main page as a "Did you know..." listing. I've been involved in the DYK process, (never successfully, I might add!) and so I know the time it takes and the coordination required between between editors...let's just say it isn't the easiest thing to accomplish. You deserve recognition, appreciation and applause. Thank you very much to all the contributing editors who made this listing possible.:The Very Best of Regards,  Bfpage &#124;leave a message 10:45, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Soundtrack
I'd love to format the soundtrack section using the tracklist template, except I don't know what most of the track lengths are. Here is the half completed table for future reference if I or anyone else find a copy of the soundtrack and can find out the track lengths. Freikorp (talk) 11:47, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Review

 * IMDb- Standard site used a lot.
 * TCM- Offers nothing unique or even new
 * Allmovie- Also offers nothing unique or new. The "Synopsis by Sandra Brennan" appears to be a company release repeated below.


 * Rotten Tomatoes- The "MOVIE INFO" is a duplicate of Allmovie.
 * Palm Beach Pictures- One of the production companies for the movie offering nothing unique or new.
 * I can see no argument that would allow the indiscriminate listing of all the sites other than the advertisement found on each page. WP:EL offers a guideline on the use of such sites and it seems using more than one is just link farmimg. Inundating Wikipedia with these many sites serves no actual purpose as they mainly just repeat each other that surely does not help a "featured article". If there is consensus that some "must be used" I would suggest only a couple of the better ones and trim the rest. Otr500 (talk) 10:06, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * This really shouldn't be a discussion held per film article and should be either held at the project level to gain consensus on usage, or even at WP:TFD if you think the template allows linking as advertisement. --Gonnym (talk) 10:26, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

The only one I would retain is the production company's one, ie as an "official site". The rest if no good or not used for references are just junk. Aoziwe (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I really agree with that this conversation needs to be held at project level. I agree that Oz Movies should have been removed. I'm on the fence about the Palm Beach Pictures link. The other ones, however, are (for better or worse) an accepted standard; this isn't the place to try and argue that they shouldn't be included in external links anymore. Damien Linnane (talk) 23:16, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello and thanks, I wasn't aiming to effect a project change. I would have to review many links and compare them across several articles. Even then there may be some content that might make using one particular link on one article and a different one on another. I did look at the ones on this particular article. They all pretty much have the same information, and some (noted above) are exact duplicates.
 * I haven't run across any project specifying a preference or any exclusions. Any "standard" of adding links should certainly be on a case-by-case basis, not just because we have a template for that link, and certainly omitted if they don't provide anything unique that can't be incorporated into the article for various reasons including possible copyright issues.
 * I do agree that it is acceptable to use an "official" site. I actually just made comparisons on this article to see if any could be trimmed not expecting that they would all pretty much offer the same thing. If that is generally true across the board, then maybe they are just sites inundating article pages with no net gain and maybe should be considered at the project level. That is not my intent though. I will also remove Rotten Tomatoes that offers only duplication. Otr500 (talk) 10:38, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
