Wikipedia:Japanese Surname Policy/Proposal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I would like to propose that Wikipedia creates a standardization within its articles on Japanese name order. In Japan, the name order is surname first, given name second, and while I personally feel this is the best order to put Japanese names, it would also be acceptable to have the Western name order of given name first, surname second. I do feel however, that there should be some standard order as at the moment it seems to be a disorganized 50/50 split as the current situation is not really in the spirit of Wikipedia.
