[edit] whether this is a stub

I dont see why this is a stub (covers everything I needed to know), and the person who marked this as "stub" left no to-dos in the talk. Remove stub? 62.178.193.144 21:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Agree -- Sakurambo 桜ん坊 08:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I also agree.Lijakaca 20:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, let's get rid of it. :-) -- Sakurambo 桜ん坊 20:54, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] quality of card

I vaguely remember that Meishi tend to be printed on much higher-quality card than Western business cards? Is that true, and if so, is it worth adding? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.251.192.96 (talk • contribs) 25 July 2007 08:36 (UTC)

Not in my experience. But perhaps we could consider mentioning this if you can find a verifiable source to support this statement. -- Sakurambo 桜ん坊 09:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] is "meishi" both singular and plural?

The article seems to use "meishi" for both the singular and the plural. As this is the English WP, it would be helpful if the article had a Note saying why this is. --Jtir (talk) 23:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] image of the case

This article needs an image of the case, which sounds like an important part of the etiquette. It would also be interesting to know the Japanese word for the case. --Jtir (talk) 23:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] request more details on meishi etiquette

When (at what age) and how (who teaches) do Japanese learn the protocol for meishi? What happens if someone accidentally drops a meishi? --Jtir (talk) 23:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
