thread_title: Fixed up the article

message: In my copyediting, I've come across a few sentences that could have alternate meanings. As an outsider to the subject, I can't assess these, so I'll leave comments for the article's primary author, ATC:
*In the "Filming" section: I have changed a sentence to, "It was filmed in New York City during 2004, where the family's real life apartment was located, on a budget of less than US$1 million." The original sentence was somewhat vague, so I'm not sure if it was filmed during 2004, or if the family resided in that apartment only in 2004. I assumed the former.
*This is just a side comment, but is it possible to drop the "and-a-half" from the ages in the plot summary?
I need to leave now, will probably add more notes later. Jamie☆S93 00:09, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I got all of these points, as well as the "interview" bit. I'll keep looking through and copyediting the article as I have time. Regards, Jamie☆S93 00:02, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

message: In the second paragraph, it is unclear which Wolff contributed the underscore or performed "Rathskeller Polka".  Later in the same paragraph, we refer to things that Nat has done and other things that Wolff has done.  I assume the second Wolff is Alex, but not knowing the subject, I can't really copy edit this section further. --Thomprod (talk) 19:16, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

# You continue in your search for a new copyeditor, which is fine with me as another set of eyes is always good. 
# In the meantime we communicate here so the new copyeditor (and anyone else who wishes) can follow the discussion.
# When a section is copyedited, it's frozen (i.e. no changes for a set amount of time). 
# If you want, I'll continue (as time permits) until handing off to new copyeditor.
*Regarding number 3: the following edits are problematical and should be reverted. In my view this edit creates an awkward sentence by adding two pronouns that aren't necessary. This edit is ungrammatical and needs to be fixed. Shall I fix, or do you want to wait? 
*How does this sound for a plan? Truthkeeper88 (talk) 20:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It sound's like a great idea. But if you spell something wrong or forget a period, I can obviously fix that right? ATC . Talk 21:18, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely! I like it when you find my errors. You are very detail oriented and really good at finding the little problems I tend to overlook. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 21:25, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Yes, you can fix that request that you said needed fixing. ATC . Talk 21:20, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moving onward 

message: When the Nat performed the 9/11 charity concert, was the band the Silver Boulders or the Naked Brothers? I think that should be mentioned. Also, if it was the Silver Boulders (which I assume is correct) when did the Silver Boulders break up and why?  I know we've discussed this, but the chronology in the article is still a little murky. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 03:37, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you're right it was the Silver Boulders. Nat, Alex, Polly, and/or Michael have not explained exactly how they broke up. The closest thing Nat & Alex mentioned about the Silver Boulders was at an KOL Press Conference, when they were taking questions from fans, someone asked why Josh (the original guitarist who was replaced by actor/ musician Qaasim Middleton for the series) was not in the show. And I'm 99% sure that Alex made a joke because Nat & Alex were laughing after he said this, which was because "[Josh] went to cooking school". Should I add that with the source or probably not? Also, you should erase the information about how Thomas, David, and Josh still were on Nat and Alex's side after The Silver Boulders broke-up because their is no reliable source or even a source stating that. I just made an inference, so its not really understood how and why the Silver Boulders broke up. ATC . Talk 21:19, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Silver Boulders vs. Naked Brothers 

message: I've changed the first sentence to family project, though I'm not sure that's accurate. With a budget of $1 million, Draper and Wolff must have had some intention of selling the film, which brings it out of the "family project" realm. You might consider not having that sentence at all in the filming section as it's a little confusing, as Ruhrfish explains above. (BTW -- did they put up their own money, or did they have backers?) Truthkeeper88 (talk) 23:21, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But, in an interview Polly said that she created it as a family project and it was under $1 million. I'm actually not sure about your other question. What exactly are backers? ATC . Talk 01:04, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If she said it was a family project is it okay to use that phrase? If so, let's leave in the phrase. Otherwise, I'll have to think of something else. Backers are people who "back" a project with money. In other words, did the family spend their own money, or did others help with costs? Probably not important, but I'm curious. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 02:23, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If it was an indie film (and Polly said it was a family project), it probably means they used their own money. I'm almost positive it was, because Alex said jokingly that he thought it was "an expensive home-video with all of these people they didn't know." Yeah, it probably isn't important unless it was sourced. ATC . Talk 16:10, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Filming 

message: Truthkeeper88, your recent edit in the development section is faulsely inacurate. Polly didn't create "Don't Eat Off My Plate", Nat wrote, produced, and directed it and Polly interviewed Nat and his friends. ATC . Talk 01:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I rewrote per the source. Is it more accurate now?  Truthkeeper88 (talk) 02:20, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it is, although Nat directed it too, although that part might not be so important...It's up to you. Thanx! ATC . Talk 16:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Development 

message: Okay, I've run through the entire article, cleaning up as much as possible. I haven't really touched the Plot section as I haven't seen the film. In the other section I've clarified and reorganized for flow as much as possible; and in some cases matched the text to the source more closely.
A couple of issues I noticed: there's a "Cast & characters" section and a "Casting" section and some of material overlaps.  In the least, I'd suggest changing the name of the "Cast and characters" to "Main characters" and then leave "Casting" as is. A more comprehensive change would be to merge the two, but I'm not certain that's necessary. (Btw -- I'm aware I named the Cast and characters, but don't want to change w/out your approval).
I don't think this sentence adds much: Of the shooting process, Draper explains: "We would sneak into locations and run." The sentence makes me wonder why they had to sneak and why they had to run, and as a writer you don't want your readers to wonder, so unless the sentence can be explained, I'd suggest removing. 
Go ahead and check for typos, etc., that I may have made and fix them. Decide whether or not make the change to section header for "Cast and characters". After that, I recommend freezing this version until someone (maybe Ruhrfish) can take a look and give feedback. If good, then keep it frozen and relist as a FAC. If not, back to the drawing board. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 17:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanx for all your help! Also, sources inaccurately say they were called "The Silver Bullets" in the film. Both in the film and in real life, they were called "The Silver Boulders". So I'll go ahead and make the change, in addition to typos, and I'll think about weather or not to change the heading title from "Cast and characters" to "Characters", as it is a good idea. Also that sentence you were talking about with them sneaking into locations, I think thats a certain type of filming where you can't put up signs that you are filming, due to legal purposes. Its a type of filming, in certain types of indie films, I'll check where I found that on a Wiki article. ATC . Talk 18:45, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Recent edits 

message: Hi Truthkeeper88, when you get the chance (in the next week or so) I was wondering if you could help me out on one last additional text, which would be in the "Filming" section. There's no sources explaining this, but it might have the same exception that the plot and cast section has. "The Making of The Featurette" was an exclusive bonus (forgot the exact word for it) with the DVD and featured the actual making of the film. The few couple of (and important) scenes that took place are listed below:
#The scene for the "Crazy Car" music video—which was shot at Coney Island—showed the band members on a car-ride and Polly was there telling them what to do. And Nat said, "Mom, this is the most embarrassing thing you've ever made me done." And Polly replies enthusiastically, "It's funny how you'll hold the wheel." Nat rolls his eyes and then replies irritatingly, "I'm not doing this if you're going to put this in the movie. I'm not doing this!" Then they ended up filming the scene anyway. (This might be better paraphrased, since some isn't 100% quoted right)
#The finale scene was when the band performed "Crazy Car" on the roof of the apartment, and when they finished, Michael wearing a red, white, and blue durag shouts, "It's a wrap!" And Nat cheers and hugs Josh.
Is it against the rules to add this without a reference? Because people can only tell if they buy the DVD to watch it (just like the Plot and Cast). ATC . Talk 06:56, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I don't really know the answer here, but assume the DVD can be the primary source for the material. The bigger question is how important this material is, and whether it's worth adding. The article seems in comparatively good shape at the moment. Have you decided to relist as FAC? Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's actually a good idea (I definitely think its worth another shot at FAC), but now that I think of it the first one about the shooting of the "Crazy Car" video and it being shot at Coney Island, might be necessary but you are right that the second one isn't necessary.

thread_title:  Adding finale additional text 

message: I had to delete some text because a more reliable source could not be found. http://www.top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=34898 for: The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie#Awards and reception with the sentence: it was placed in the top-10 spot on the Nielsen VideoScan children's non-theatrical DVD charts.[36]:  I went to the Nielsen news release website and looked up top 10 releases in 2007 (on a PDF file) and the film was not listed. Top40 charts is the only source that comes up on Google (That and NewsBlaze). If possible, let me know, if someone finds a more reliable source. ATC . Talk 04:08, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
