Many Chinese names are not alphabetized under their surnames. I changed the listing of Yang Huanming from H to Y, since Yang is his family name. Chinese names are confusing since the surname comes first. The surname is usually a single character and the personal name is two characters, but two character family names such as Ouyang are not rare and single character personal names are fairly common. Does the Wiki follow a convention on this? I suggest listing family names first. DavidCowhig 00:13, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
