Talk:Hoàng Xuân Sính

Comment
She is often cited as "H. X. Sinh", but Sinh is not her surname (it seems the standard order is different in Vietnamese)! This is funny. :D I dunno if she should be cited as "Hoang X. S." :) Yolaf.TZ (talk) 02:23, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, all the Western sources for which it is possible to tell how they are parsing her name seem to get it wrong. My feeling on how we should handle this here is (1) use the correct surname, e.g. to refer to her throughout the article, and (2) otherwise pass the issue by, since we don't have a source that says anything about the name order. I did change one other mathematics article that cited her work from citing it as H. X. Sinh to instead spell out her full name. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:48, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
