Talk:Sun Zhiwei

Untitled
Shouldn't this page be moved to "Sun Zhiwei" in accordance to Wikipedia naming convention, even though the subject himself might have preferred to be referred to as Zhi-Wei Sun? --Plastictv 12:20, 14 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I don't know – which particular convention are you referring to? --MarkSweep ✍ 12:38, 14 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Perhaps naming conventions (Chinese). It actually depends on how the person writes her/his name, and the official way or usual practice of the place she/he comes from. &mdash; Instantnood 19:01, 14 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I think the article should be moved back to Zhi-Wei Sun. The guiding principle from the WP naming conventions above: "The encyclopedia should reference the name more familiar to most English readers."  All of the many English language papers by Dr. Sun use the name "Zhi-Wei Sun", he uses that name on his website and in his correspondence, and he even links to the Wikipedia article Zhi-Wei Sun (not Sun Zhiwei).
