When did we start using Asian name order on Wikipedia? If Lee is his surname, it should by "Myung-jin Lee." This is an English-language encyclopedia.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 17:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
You're right for most names. WP:NC-KO states Korean names should be written using Surname Given-name, unless a person is overwhelmingly known to English-speakers by another name, like Syngman Rhee. For the articles I'm working on (manhwa artists and the like), none of them will be "overwhelmingly known" to English audiences enough to justify deviating from the WP naming conventions. I believe Chinese names follow the original Eastern name order, as well, whereas Japanese names use Western name order. Right now, Korean person articles are named with every conceivable name order, hyphen/no hyphen, and capitalization scheme you can possibly imagine, LOL. Manhwa articles have been pretty neglected for a while, but hopefully the new work within the world comics work group will change that. (Join us if you dig manhwa stuff!) :) --hamu♥hamu (TALK) 22:20, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
