Lynn (voice actress) edit

  • ... that Japanese voice actress Lynn would take the Shinkansen from Niigata to Tokyo every Sunday to attend voice acting school? Source: [1] 念願かなって養成所に通い始めました。新潟に住んでいたので、毎週日曜日に日帰りで新幹線で東京に行っていました。地元の友達と遊ぶ時間はあまりなかったけど、レッスン後に東京のレジャースポットで遊んだりもできて楽しかったですね。
    • ALT1:... that Lynn began considering becoming a voice actress after learning that InuYasha and Jimmy Kudo shared a voice actor? Source: [2] アニメ『名探偵コナン』と『犬夜叉』が好きでよく観ていたのですが、『コナン』の主人公、工藤新一と犬夜叉を同じ声優さんがやられている、ということがわかって、そこから声優というお仕事に興味をもち始めました。
    • ALT2:... that Japanese voice actress Lynn was inspired to enter the entertainment industry as her mother had previously been part of several bands? Source: [3] この頃、芸能界に興味をもちました。母も昔バンドを組んでいて、芸能界デビューしたかった、ということを聞いていました。小学校のときには芸能事務所のオーディションを受けました。声優になっていなかったら歌手やタレントを目指していたかもしれません。

5x expanded by Narutolovehinata5 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:31, 26 February 2018 (UTC).

  • Prose was expanded from ~230 characters (lede only) to around 2688 characters on 26 February. Article is neutrally written, every sections are well referenced. Copyvio check looks fine. All of the hook facts are represented in the citations, but personally I don't think ALT1 and ALT2 is really interesting for readers unfamiliar with anime, so I would recommend the promoter to go for ALT0 instead (to be honest, I don't think even ALT0 is all that interesting either; round trip from Niigata to Tokyo takes around four hours, and for four times a month it would cost more than 80,000 yen. It probably only goes on to illustrate that their family was well off; this may be interesting for some readers). QPQ is done. This should be good to go. Alex Shih (talk) 17:32, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
  • I also find all the hooks rather lightweight, like they were written for a fan magazine. Could you come up with a better hook? Yoninah (talk) 23:03, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
ALT3: ...that Japanese voice actress Lynn was born to a Japanese-American father and a Japanese-Brazilian mother?
@Yoninah: How does that sound? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:23, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Thanks, yes, I like that better. Pinging @Alex Shih: for his opinion. Yoninah (talk) 23:29, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but do not see an inline cite for the ALT3 hook fact, nor do I see the hook fact in footnote 2 which covers most of this paragraph. Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
@Yoninah:  Done I've added a source for the hook. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:04, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: I see. The citation given is not actually to the URL provided, but to the DVD it's selling. I'll see if I can find another source for that, but in the meantime, maybe ALT0 could work as a hook too? Since that one is already cited in the article. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:22, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Well, maybe someone else will promote it then. I just find all the hooks lightweight and fan magazine-like. If she had had the same teacher as her heroes (ALT1), that would be hooky. Yoninah (talk) 21:30, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Seems that there's an issue with ALT3, so requesting a new review to see if any of the striked-out hooks would work. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:13, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

  • Narutolovehinata5, you have the original reviewer saying that none of the original hooks are sufficiently interesting, and then someone who is promoting nominations to prep saying the same thing. Going back to those hooks is not the thing to do: if you can't come up with reliable citations for ALT3, then it's time to find new ALT hooks that are more interesting. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:50, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll see if I can find anything else I can use for hooks. Most of the sources about her are in Japanese so it might be a little difficult, but I'll give it a shot. This might take around a week or two at most. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 21:02, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Narutolovehinata5 has explained on my talk page that the cite for ALT3 is not a vendor website, but the actual DVD itself, on which the actress is interviewed. Therefore I am restoring the approval tick for ALT3 by Alex Shih. Yoninah (talk) 14:42, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
