Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Ashanda (talk) 22:26, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Chie Kojima
A tag has been placed on Chie Kojima requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. — Parent5446 (t [ n] c k e [ l]) 22:33, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages
Hello there. I see that you've been trying to add Chie Kojima to a couple of the encyclopedia's disambiguation pages. Disambiguation pages are there to allow users to quickly find an article where the name might be shared by different subjects- George Bush is an excellent example of this. Disambiguation pages are not meant to be a listing of every possible occurrence of a thing, rather they are meant to quickly allow a reader to find the article they're looking for. Therefore all listings should, at least, have the potential to be an article; being a lawyer and member of the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law, while indeed commendable, doesn't rise to the threshold of notability required for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Thanks for your understanding and if you have any more questions, please feel free to write to me on my talk page. Ashanda (talk) 22:39, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
