Skate Kitchen
... that Jaden Smith is among the only professional actors in Skate Kitchen, a film in which a group of female skateboarders play dramatized versions of themselves?- ALT0a: ... that Jaden Smith is one of only two professional actors in Skate Kitchen, a film in which a group of female skateboarders play dramatized versions of themselves?
- ALT1:... that Skate Kitchen was partly filmed on a camera mounted on a motorized skateboard traveling at speeds up to 20 miles per hour (32 km/h)?

Interesting film on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I prefer the original, as telling more about the plot, but wonder why only one of the actresses is named, while there is only one other, which makes "among the" feel a bit strange. If I was you, I'd mention the film first in the hook, unless you want to promote Jaden Smith ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:22, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Jaden Smith is the only actor mentioned by name because his is a well-known name (he is male, by the way) whereas Elizabeth Rodriguez is not very famous – this is part of the interest. I would rather not re-word the hook because the wording flows much better in English this way. 97198 (talk) 08:07, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Understand. For people unfamiliar with him, the beginning of the hook leaves them cold (and they may skip to the next without ever reading to the kitchen), but up to you. For me, it doesn't "flow", and my point of no flow is that "among the only" (which in the article turns out to be 2 unless I misunderstood). How about "among the few", or "one of [only] two"? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:39, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
- Happy with that suggestion. See ALT0a above. 97198 (talk) 09:12, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Please word your preferred version, of 3 alts.
- I'm not sure what you mean but I'm happy with any of the hooks. 97198 (talk) 09:36, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- I really don't like the "only" and would like the original hook to be reworded in one or more ways suggested. I shouldn't do it, or strictly speaking should not also review. The person preparing prep should find a hook to just copy, without need to study this conversation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:15, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

- @Gerda Arendt: I have provided three hooks. One was reworded as you suggested. You were the one who suggested "one of [only] two" so I don't know why you now say I really don't like the "only". I am really struggling to understand what the remaining issues are; it may be because of a language barrier. If you are not willing to approve any of the hooks provided, please say so explicitly. 97198 (talk) 08:03, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry, we had a misunderstanding. I didn't look at changes in hooks and new hooks above, expecting them right here in the conversation, - sorry. Please (next time) don't change anything that has been discussed (unless clear typos), because it makes the conversation meaningless.
approving ALT0a and ALT1, my preference for ALT0a. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:15, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
