Spelling of name
[edit]The back and forth on the spelling of their name has been a bit strange, but this is even stranger: a single editor who is giving different spellings for the surnames of different family members? ("Tina Piña Trachtenburg, Rachel Piña Trachtenberg, and Jason Trachtenburg"?) If this is accurate, it certainly calls for an explanation. - Jmabel | Talk 21:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- sofixit? ;) anyways i've reverted it- it seems like a mistake, as he spelled rachel's name with a u further down the paragraph, and nothing i've read has led me to beleive that their daughter's name is spelled differently. It seemed highly unnecessary to continualy repeat their names, as they all share the same one . . . --He:ah? 21:35, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Rachel Trachtenburg's birthday
[edit]Can non-members use the talk page, too? If so, I have one question: Is Rachel's birthday really December 10? - Addie 3:45, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Addie! According to Rachel's grandfather, psychotherapist and author of two nonfiction novels, Mr. Milton Trachtenburg, here is some info leading up to Rachel's birthday. Milton is a former Fotologger and here's a passage I found leading up to his granddaughter's birthday (Clues in bold italics)
12/11/03
"Here is Rachel sitting in the green room at Fez keeping the activities log for the band as part of her managerial responsibilities. Don`t ask me why the green room is red. The performer`s space is always called the green room.
There are many tasks that need to be completed before the show and someone has to keep track of them. Despite the fact that she is the youngest member of the band, she has always been the most organized and spots small details that others overlook. For her to keep track of times and dates as well as all the other details of a traveling band is fun for her because she loves responsibility. Anyway, she does get paid extra and is an astute businesswoman, too.
Last night , we celebrated rachel`s 10th birthday with a small gathering at the apartment of one of team that produced the new music video for the band. As part of the festivities, we saw the video which is almost finished. It was funny, well done, had some of the best special effects and looked like somthing from an old Beatles movie. Referentially, Rachel had a brief bit in a Sgt. Pepper-like costume. There wwere people in animal costuems, a real marching dog, a stuffed crow and slides that came to life. Rachel was incandescent and Jason and Tina were charming and playful." - Milton Trachtenburg
Mr. Trachtenburg posted this on December 11, but the party was last night, on December 10.

Moby music video
[edit]Did the Trachtenburgs really appear in Moby's MV? Somehow, I don't believe it. I want to see it and then I'll believe it. You shouldn't be posting stuff you don't know. Sheesh. GirlInMotion 2:10 (UTC)
Beginning
[edit]The whole "Beginning" section needs citations. And what can it mean that "Jason first met at a Greenwich Village open-mic in New York City around 1989"? How does one person "meet"? - Jmabel | Talk 21:47, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Music Video and the Beginning section
[edit]The Trachtenburgs are, indeed, in Moby's music video. Take a look. Ha. Ha. Har. Feel stupid, don't you, GirlInMotion?
As for the "Beginning" section, that whole part ("Jason first met at a Greenwich Village open-mic in New York City around 1989") was a typo, but thanks for pointing it out, Jmabel, because I didn't notice! However, the section is true. In the DVD, Jason, Tina and Rachel begin the introduction as to how they formed, etc. So the beginning section is true, but I don't how to citate the information.

- I'm note sure what DVD you are referring to; if it is The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players: Off & On Broadway, that is certainly citable. Give publication info just like you would for any other work; if you can give some indication where in the DVD they say that, good, but since it is not likely to be controversial, I'd be less worried about precision than on a controversial matter. If you are still confused, then write your best approximation of a citation, and I'll clean it up. - Jmabel | Talk 03:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
