Naming conventions

edit

Hi Juxlos and thanks for your creation! As it is an approved DYK, I did a brief copyedit and want to confirm a few things with you. Is Munafri or Arifuddin the family name here? (I'm not familiar with the naming conventions in the context, I'm afraid.) And did I get it correct that Munafri Arifuddin is the person married to Melinda Aksa? Finally, depending on naming conventions, I assume we should either switch "Aksa Mahmud" to "Mahmud Aksa"; or, "Melinda Aksa" to "Aksa Melinda", for consistency. Thanks!

Bit confusing, but her name is "Melinda Aksa Mahmud" apparently Juxlos (talk) 23:16, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Ah ok. In that case, is Arifuddin the family name for the main subject of the entry? If yes, the entry should primarily refer to him as "Arifuddin" rather than "Munafri" per Wikipedia convention of using people's last names. Innisfree987 (talk) 00:57, 28 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Indonesian names aren't really subject to standard forename-surname formats elsewhere, so I think it can work out. Though, feel free to change it - either works. Juxlos (talk) 02:19, 28 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
