2019-02-20 Yes, I see your point; in fact I plan to do that and added it to the talk page. This is my first article and I simply haven't discovered how yet. Feedback like this would be more helpful if it came with sample code to show how.

In the meantime, I focusing on getting the facts right first

List of Australian Musicians
Hi there, Thanks for this new list article. I have just accepted it. The list is rather long and it may be good to give it some structure, such as List of Australian artists. Thanks again! pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 11:57, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your email. I have taken the liberty to add some structure to the list. I was wondering, though, if individuals should be sorted by surnames. For example, Alex Lloyd is sorted under "A" for Alex. I would have expected him under "L" for Lloyd. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:03, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jake,

I really like the structure you added!

I puzzled myself of the surname first question, and used it for a while with the list in MS Word. If we want to be formal, then you are correct. However, I have found that surnames last is actually easier to use, and this has been confirmed by some friends of mine. Quite often, we can easily remember a first name, but struggle with the surname, and so the existing layout makes them easier to find.

Thanks you for your comments. I learned the hard way that a page this size is not the best first page, especially when it's from a list I've collected over 4 decades. I intend for it to evolve over time, but have been delayed in continuing the improvements. My first priority is to try and confirm the details I have are accurate. David
