Apologies for the late welcome + "Chinzan-so Garden"

Hi Irina,
What great contributions you've made... and no-one had welcomed you yet!
You might probably already know this, but Chinzan-so literally means "Camellia mountain garden", so "Chinzan-so Garden" is, strictly speaking "Camellia mountain garden Garden". I guess that's a bit like "PIN number" or "ATM machine" - the redundancy actually makes term easier to understand.
Thanks again for your contributions - please make many, may more.

Tonogayato Garden

Well done on a very nice article. I've nominated it and one of your pictures for Template:Did you know, and it should be appearing on Wikipedia's home page in the next few days. Prioryman (talk) 21:26, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thank you very much! --Irina Gelbukh (talk) 02:43, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Tonogayato Garden

On 4 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Tonogayato Garden, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Tonogayato Garden in Kokubunji, Tokyo is built on the terraced cliffs of Musashino, with a lawn on the hilltop overlooking a bamboo forest and pond at the bottom? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Asks for your opinion for Maidashi ryokuchi.

How do you do? My name is Hot cake syrup, I read your article Arisugawa-no-miya Memorial Park with considerable interest, thank you.
Maidashi ryokuchi is proposed deletion, but I think it is to leave over. The reason is that the park is not famous, but it has substantial implication for the Fukuoka's modern history. And in Wikipedia there are too few articles for Japanese garden. If your concurrence on my opinion, please note your comment on Talk:Maidashi ryokuchi. Bye for now. --Hot cake syrup (talk) 04:39, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Von Jour Caux

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Von Jour Caux 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

	Thank you for adding Von Jour Caux to en.wikipedia.org! Shirt58 (talk) 13:01, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PS: What a really intriguing architect he is. Is there still a tram that runs from Waseda to Ikebukuro? --Shirt58 (talk) 13:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
