I added the original French version of Snowy's name, but then realised that that opens a can of worms in that we should also translate the name of the book and of the series. I would be in favour of that in order to make it clear we are talking about a translation, but presumably Bencherlite had a reason for omitting that information? In any case, can I persuade you to reconsider? Awien (talk) 02:34, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of objections, I went ahead and did it. I'm not so wedded to it as to war over it if anyone hates it, but I do have a rooted objection to not acknowledging the original of translated works. Awien (talk) 13:46, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In the absence of objections? How many people do you think have this on their watchlist? One person - me, as the page's creator, on holiday officially until Monday 5th August! The blurb was then over 1,300 characters, as against a limit of 1,200 - so I cut some more interesting stuff to make way for the translations. BencherliteTalk 21:28, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if you feel I trod on your toes, but I thought I had made it clear that anyone who felt strongly could revert and there would be no hard feelings. As for the 1200-character limit, I just didn't know, but now I do. Awien (talk) 22:18, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
