Talk:Lowe Kong Meng

Surname
Just want to open discussion on this topic prompted by |this change (ping @User:Gronk Oz). As I've indicated in | footnote 1, Lowe Kong Meng's Chinese name has Lowe (Liu) as the family name. However, he took Kong Meng as his surname for most of his life living in Australia. No sources I've found refer to him as Lowe, they all use Kong Meng as the surname. He appears to have passed this name onto his children as a family name (see |this resource from the Chinese Museum, Melbourne). Given this I feel we should retain consistency with the sources and use Kong Meng as the surname, but I'm open to other perspectives. -- Lear's Fool 21:57, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. Sorry, I made that change - I did read the footnote but apparently not carefully enough.--Gronk Oz (talk) 22:44, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Not at all! Thanks for taking a look at it, definitely worth clarifying on the talk page 👍 -- Lear's Fool 00:41, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
