[edit] Discussion

It's good to see this article expanded, but comments like these should be here on the TALK page, not in the text. Vivaverdi 20:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Apologies. Newbie. Ok, on with the show! --Hgruner 20:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, so I'm about halfway done with the translation of the content at fr:Natalie Dessay. I have no idea if the content itself is accurate, but I know the translation is. This text may need a major re-structuring once it's all translated, and it would be nice to get some dates thrown into the text, to establish a timeline. --Hgruner 21:34, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article tone

I haven't yet tried to read the French wikipedia article on Natalie Dessay, but the English version was much too hagiographic and read too much like a PR release or a besotted fan's writing. I have started to tone it down to more a "just the facts" approach, in keeping with wikipedia standards. Thanks, DJRafe (talk) 09:39, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
