What is Gabriella Montez's cell phone model?

This doesn't sound hidden

“ If you watch until the very end of High School Musical, after the credits, you can see a hidden scene in which Sharpay finds out how good the cookies Zeke made her tasted and runs up to him and hugs him with much enthusiasm, saying she loves him. This may have something to do with High School Musical 2. ”

To me that really doesn't sound hidden. Lots of movies have a strange sence at the end like that. Bawolff 22:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

well what are you supposed to call that then?--Jak 21:50, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ends like that, with Lockheart moving in a book, and everyone ignoring him, but the prisoner of Azkabam doesn't mention Lockheart.--egandude123 23:23, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Highest Selling DCOM soundtrack?

• Somebody said that the HSM soundtrack was the highest selling soundtrack but I've also heard that it was The Cheetah Girls soundtrack. Can someone tell me more about this?

So many grammatical errors!

It needs clean-up. Also, the trivia section is really messed up. -leaves to edit-

I clenaed it up a lot and fixed most of the grammar errors in the plot. -Rosepuff12 20:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I came here after seeing a note on Wikipedia:cleanup and reverted the change of an apostrophe here. Apostrophes after the s signify that the noun is possessive to more than one person (or at least that's what I recall learning in school so many years ago. :) ) I just wanted to clarify that here.

Fixing Up (202.154.148.122)

Okay, The Plot Spoiler in the article is far more comprehensive and makes far more sense. No more 'Will Troy and Gabriella yada yada be able to do it?' sort of lines.

Removed the comments about removed images. They can always be recovered from previous edits.

Fixed many grammatical errors, and rearranged some text.

Fixed the 'Errors' section at the bottom, to remove the comments that someone so kindly put there. Good show and songs.

Plot

Actually, looking at the article, while the storyline is greatly improved (far better than previous edit) it still needs shortening.

Also, the character section needs cleanup (This is listed as a comment in the page source)

Please note also, the notice about condensing the plot collides with the frame containing the movie information.

I removed a good bit from the plot section to help clean up, but it's still too long. I didn't get to the last 3-4 paragraphs though. I'll work on the characters though. Judxapp 02:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

The Fireworks

Can someone confirm whether the fireworks would not have been allowed to fire due to snow (and cite a source, like a legislation or something) and whether the other (commented out) errors should just be removed?

Why Illegal Immigrants Comment was deleted?

I added in a comment noting that some critics(me as well as some others) of the movie have said that Sharpay's hostility towards Gabriella resembled that of some US citizens towards illegal immigrants. Later I come back, it's not there anymore. I don't understand why someone removed it. The comment wasn't offensive or anything. If anything, it is very relevant when you think about the supposed themes to the movie. M paulinus

What hostility? If your talking about Sharpay being mad at Gabriella like shown during 'Stick to the Status Quo', that's different. Sharpay was mad at her because she thought that herself and Ryan would be the only ones to be auditioning for the leads. She was shocked when she saw the callbacks so that is what got her mad and jealous at Gabriella. -Rosepuff12 15:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

We all know that Sharypay wasn't the nicest person in the movie. In fact, when she met Gabriella. she was somewhat patronizing. When she found out about the callbacks, she was furious. You could say that she was threatened to an extent. She even felt the need to sabotage their chances by convincing Darvis to change the times of the callbacks. The comparison I made was that Sharpay's feelings toward Gabriella resembled that of some American citizens towards Illegal Immigrants.

M paulinus 23:53, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

First of all, it's Darbus, not Darvis, and of course you could make this comparison. However this relation as a theme is probably quite by accident, coincidence if you will, and not the writers intention to express the American feeling towards Illegal Immigrants.

Do not forget this movie is seen internationally (as is this article I might add) and while the movie is an American creation, perhaps such American specific comments are best left out of the article

Rpgsimmaster 03:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I guess. Though, I still think the comparison should be mentioned. Though, I would like to point out the 'coincidence' that Gabriella was Hispanic. --M paulinus 00:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

You mention that "Some critics" have felt this is also the case. If you can find a verefiable and respectable online source that says this and then cite it, it can be added to the article. Untill then, however, it sounds very much like original research and POV. Cheers! --omtay38 01:29, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Article getting tidied

Well I've been doing some (merciless) editing to keep the article tidy, but I've been amassing comments in the source. Would anyone care to comment on them in this talk page, because anything that's commented I'm likely to remove soon. Things like the fireworks and the wristwatch really need to be confirmed as errors, the grammatical correction in the Chad Danforth section of the article and so forth need to be dealt with.

Thanks to anyone who will do this. Rpgsimmaster 03:33, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Zeke

In the minor characters section, is Zeke worth developing as a character (such as mentioning his crush on Sharpay) or is his character not significant enough to merit keeping?

Comments or ideas, please. Rpgsimmaster 07:25, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Addition to comments under Taylor McKessie and Chad Danforth

The comments under Taylor McKessie and Chad Danforth about Chad asking Taylor out needs to be developed or removed. At this stage I commented it, but I think it could be developed well.

Cleanup

The article needs a lot of cleanup. Sections are too large, unessisary, and not up to Wikipedia's standards. Please don't remove the notice until the article has drasticly been improved. --lightdarkness ^(talk) 18:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Use of Jerseys

We have decided before that the multiple jerseys is not a problem. Someone edited this previously who was a basketball player, and commented that they too had multiple jerseys. It is probably not uncommon, and therefore probably not a continuity error in the film.

Before you add it again, please discuss why here.

New Image

I changed the picture in the infobox because the picture that was in there was a false DVD cover. The new image is a promotional image for the movie. Jtervin 05:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
