Reaching out
[edit]@Corinne:
Hi Checkingfax I am one again reaching out for your kind help, as has become my habit it would seem over the past year or so. I translated this article from the original article French which has existed since October 2009. I felt it might be of interest to English speakers the wider audience that American films reach through translation and overdubbing. Translation is always meticulous, albeit interesting work, and of course quite time-consuming, to be sure. So it's disheartening to find one's new creation with a Deletion request but 2 days after it's birth. It did not go unnoticed the delete proposal was tagged by User:SwisterTwister who has herself been nominated for deletion, if I've understood correctly; I'm not sure if the intent here is humorous. Thanks for any instructions. ...not sure where I send my 'oppose' comments. Natalie Desautels …as within, so without 20:06, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, Natalie.Desautels (with cc to Corinne). This article has been PROD'd. This is a quick, informal way to get a garbage article deleted. If nobody notices, in seven days: POOF.
- With PROD, there is no !voting; no discussion. You have seven days to fix the article (while the notice is up). If you fix the article within the seven days you can remove the notice and the PROD stops. However, if the article is unfixed, the PROD is removed, and the PRODer notices, they will probably nominate the article through the WP:AFD process which is also seven days, but allows !voting, discussion, and usually attracts more eyes: some friendly and helpful, and some deletionists. Not all opposers are deletionists: If an article cannot ever be rescued, then it should be deleted. For more on that, see the first comment here from Northamerica1000, also see the final comment from Doug Weller, and take note that that is also a SwisterTwister nom.
- SisterTwister's user deletion nom was a humorous self-nom done on a humor essay page. There is a banner at the top of the page stating that it is a humor page. Cheers!

- Hello Checkingfax, Thanks so much once again for the very useful link which clearly divulges a WP:AFD process, and also for the interesting information you so kindly provided. I started this article a day ago, and really should have inserted the {{New page}} and {{In creation}} tags, although an emergency usurped my time. The official internet site for dubbing in Quebec shows nearly 1000 films this fellow overdubbed, with a proper reliable source to each film! So there's plenty of good sourcing to be done in days ahead and there are many other good verifiable sources as well, albeit most in French. With my various mother tongues, it's sort of all one big language to me and I tend to forget that uni-lingual editors might not realize the plenitude of quality sources out there in other languages, waiting to become accessible through translation. I suspect this might be the case here since the comment left was "searches found nothing outstandingly better." and this might be true in English in this instance. The official internet site for dubbing in Quebec is French only (maybe I should ask them if they want it translated
). Thanks so much once again for your generous help. kind regards, Natalie Desautels …as within, so without 23:58, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

- @Checkingfax: Hello Doug Weller. Thank you so much for taking precious time to help us improve this article; much appreciated, to be sure. First of all though, I would be amiss not to congratulate you on your fantastic work on Wikipedia for over 10 years now! I've been here but 14 months so I just might contact you for survival tips in the future. Also, I found your talk page very attractive, especially the amazing number and quality of pages listed in your 'All pages with prefix'

- Kindly let me impose upon your good nature to leave a few comments. I implemented several improvements since your kind 'tips' and I intend to continue to improve this article following your lead. I think that with the latest sourcing, the subject can be shown to be a very noteworthy voice-over actor here in Quebec, Canada. Here, "La loi oblige" , that is, the law dictates that all films must be either overdubbed, or subtitled for smaller films, in French. I dug up further interesting resources and implemented them; as we saw in the article "Always the same voices" ('Toujours les mêmes voix') in La presse, the largest French newspaper in North America, we can now provide quality mainstream sources showing that Jean-Luc Montminy is the voice-over actor the most heard in film. I researched and added quality sources showing his work in nearly 1000 films, in which he did the voice-over for so many well known American actors. So in the field of dubbing, I would think his body of work is notable indeed, although perhaps my former lack of good sources didn't make this evident enough. I am hoping that this sort of article will be of interest to the general reader. Language has been one of my passions since I was born, it would seem; I am a code-switcher, enjoying various mother tongues as well as a receptive multilingual so much so that I often don't realize what language I'm speaking , sometimes a positive sometimes not. So that explains why the intricate work of voice-over carries such a fascination for me and of course we always want to 'convert' others to share our passions. Thanks once again for your gracious input here and in the future. PS. I also have diplomas in languages, so if you need help with translation as in Peñas de Cabrera, you will not be better served, it would be my pleasure, and you know where to find me
. Thanks once again for your kindness. Natalie Desautels …as within, so without 04:59, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

New subsection header or subsection pseudo-header needed
[edit]Hi, Natalie.Desautels or any other editor. At this juncture:
1993: True Romance: Vincenzo Coccotti (Christopher Walken)
... is there are a break needed? It seems to become a potpourri of actors at that point. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 20:01, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
- Many thanks, Checkingfax. The order of the dubbed films featuring Fiennes was rather disorganized, so I made the chronological order, well, ...chronological. kind regards, Natalie Desautels …as within, so without 03:35, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
