[edit] Geisha Research Paper

Hello Todd Laracuenta, My name is Tanner Kruse and I attend Oakland University in Michigan. I am currently working on a research paper that contrasts the true geisha lifestyle with what was portrayed in theatres by the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. I have heard that there was some controversy surrounding its release. I have too, always been interested in Japanese culture and I am considering minoring in it. It would be very appreciated if I would be able to do a simple interview with you by e-mail to get your oppinion on this topic. If that is all possible, please contact me. (takruse@oakland.edu) Thank you, Tanner Kruse

[edit] AOL IPs

Todd: Regrettably, our software blocks registered users using a blocked IP address. There have been many calls to change this, but nothing done about it. AOL is an especially tricky one, since AOL keeps constantly changing IP addresses, so you are likely to run into a blocked IP every so often. I saw you were able to continue editing this morning, so I'll leave things as they are for now. If you run into this again, please be sure to include the IP address from the message in your email.

[edit] Re: Geisha

I noticed that you haven't been welcomed before, Todd Lara, so here it is:

Anyways, regarding the photo: I stand by my comments that the picture, in my opinion, isn't of caliber enough to qualify for a featured picture. The shadows, especially the ones in the center, distract from the overall quality. However, I'll change my vote to neutral, because it is a good picture as a whole. Thanks!

[edit] Geisha FPC

I have left an additional note there about my opposition. I am sorry to still oppose, especially since I can see this subject means a lot to you, but I just can't support at this time. I am sorry. I hope none of this places any enmity between us. I'll see you around, my friend. --LV (Dark Mark) 15:28, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Location

Just a minor thing, but I think it should be "Gion, Kyoto, Japan" intead of "Kyoto Gion, Japan". Input?
