Karin Takahashi (voice actress)[edit]

  • ... that voice actress Karin Takahashi originally aspired to become a lawyer? Source: [1] ("一度、小学生の時に弁護士になりたいと思っていたんですけど、高学年になってから、弱い人を守ることだけが弁護士の仕事じゃないということを知って、自分が思っているのと違ったかなと。")
  • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Joe Kryczka (using Fred Page for QPQ purposes)
  • Comment: One of the sources used for citing the date of birth is a permanent dead link (I had copied it from her Japanese article, which was the basis for most of the biography section); however I added an alternate citation if in case the dead reference isn't adequate enough. Additional hook suggestions are welcome, although sources are a bit thin on her personal life.

Resolved
  • Large portions of the article are not cited, and this is a problem for an article that would appear on the main page. There are also odd sentences like this one (On her debut stage she unfortunately had hay fever and had to cover her right eye with an eye patch). "Unfortunately" is a very weird word choice as I doubt anyone has "fortunately" contracted hay fever. There are also two tags attached to the top of the page (This article needs additional citations for verification and This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling.). With all of this in mind, the article requires a substantial amount of work before it could be featured on the main page as a DYK. Aoba47 (talk) 20:52, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
@Aoba47: Uh, I think you checked the wrong article. The article that's for review is Karin Takahashi (voice actress), not Karin Takahashi. To be fair, it was my mistake since I had accidentally linked to the wrong article in the hook. I've fixed the link now. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 20:56, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for the correction. I was only going by the link presented in the hook, and like you said, you linked the incorrect article here. Aoba47 (talk) 20:59, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
@Aoba47: So uh are you still considering reviewing this? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:28, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
I will leave this for another reviewer. The unnecessary “uh” and “so uh” comments turned me off this and I would prefer not to engage further. Aoba47 (talk) 21:33, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
I see. Well thank you for giving this consideration, in any case. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:37, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced. As sources are in Japanese, unable to check for close paraphrasing. Hook is interesting and foreign-language hook ref is AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 14:49, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
