Hi Richard, some small things. I save the big things for another mail. typography throughout the article: Occasionly, ' U+0027 is used for apostrophe or opening or closing single quotation mark. Be consisitent, use the good ones: ‘ U+2018 for opening single quotation mark, ’ U+2019 for apostrophe and closing single quotation mark. (BTW, the usage of the typographically right characters not only looks better to the reader, it also avoids trouble with escaping when ' (or ") has special meaning in the markup or programming language.) section Given name and patronymic <http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names#patronymic> Only the second paragraph makes clear what names the first paragraph is about. I suggest to add 'Icelandic': In the Icelandic name Björk Guðmundsdóttir … You might want to indicate that 'son' means son and 'dóttir' means daughter. (The first is obvious, the latter easy to guess – to speakers of other Germanic languages like English and German. But the article might get translated into non-Germanic languages in the future.) section Different order of parts <http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names#partorder> It might not be the best idea to italicize Chinese ideographs '毛泽东'. I don’t fully get the intention why the Latin transcriptions like 'mao ze dong' are spelled in lower case. section Multiple family names <http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names#multiplefamily> 'Maria-Jose' shold probably be spelled with accent mark: 'María-Jose'. section Variant word forms <http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names#variants> 'Никола́евич' shold surely be spelled without accent mark: 'Николаевич'. section Mixing it up <http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-personal-names#mixing> Were the diacritical marks in 'ie. Mr. Dung, not Mr. Nguyen' left off on purpose? Gunnar
