 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. I am not seeing "Ibaraki" or "New York State Bar" in the sources given. I also note that "She received no assistance from the government" is a little ambiguous about what it refers to. Article is neutral and I am not seeing copyvio or plagiarism concerns. Is weforum a good enough source for the hook claim? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk • contribs)
 * Doing some looking, I found reference to the NYSB and Ibakara in unreliable sources, so it would probably be best to cut it. I imagine it was translated from Japanese where it is cited to her personal website. I think that the World Economic Forum should be considered a reliable source.

 * - Do you know what the source for this is? If not, I'll remove it, so that this can go. StudiesWorld (talk) 00:59, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The source for NYSB is on her official website (http://koshinaomi.jp/profile/) and the city website (http://www.city.otsu.lg.jp/shisei/mayor/1388470885533.html) under 2009. I translated the Ibaraki bit from the ja wikipedia article, but it isn't in the source at the end of the sentence. I'll remove that now. Mcampany (talk) 01:10, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , thanks for following up on this. - I think that her official site is almost surely not valid, but I think that the city website might be even though it is not independent. What do you think? StudiesWorld (talk) 01:14, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Added note: I am especially comfortable with using a non-independent source for the New York State Bar because she worked at a law firm in New York, meaning that she must have been able to legally practice law in New York. Given this, I think this might be uncontroversial enough to use a non-independent source.StudiesWorld (talk) 01:17, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd probably use INTEXT attribution if we go for using the city website. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:22, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * , I've added an INTEXT attribution. StudiesWorld (talk) 09:41, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Ibaraki still needs a source. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:36, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * . Sorry, Mcampany had removed it from the text, but I've now removed it from the infobox. StudiesWorld (talk) 10:45, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
