I stumbled upon two Vietnamese persons in the encyclopedia with family and given names inverted.
Nguyen HOA: should be Hoa NGUYEN Vu THANH: should be Thanh VU Wikipedia has a list of very common Vietnamese surnames that can be used as reference. |

They will have to join the Korean club. Very few people can directly correct names.

Given the number of Vietnamese persons we have in the encyclopedia, I fear we may have to start a Vietnamese club very soon.
Please do whatever is appropriate. |

This is what I'd like to suggest every Encyclopedia contributor: if you can't tell which part of a CJKV name is either given or family, just leave it alone.
