Name order discrepancies
I noticed Korean actor Seo-joon Park is featured in the database as Park (family name) Seo-joon (give name) in accord with Korean name order, whereas Zoltán Fábri, Hungarian director is featured as Zoltán (given name) Fábri (family name) contrary to Hungarian naming order. I didn't check, but there is a bunch of other cultures using eastern naming order too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surname.
It's a pretty blatant mistake and someone might even find it offensive. Whatever rule we arrive at to use for this, I think we can all agree it should be uniform.
I am not sure what would be the proper channel to report this so the system could actually change, but if this isn't it, feel free to do so, anyone who might also wanna do something about this. Have a nice day, everyone!

Hi @shape012 -
We do have a rule on how these names should be listed. In case it is listed incorrectly you can send a name correction, it is important to note that if the owner of the page wants it listed differently they can do that so we would not accept the change as mentioned in the help guides 'and/or in the way preferred by the person to whom it refers'. Please visit our help guides for more and let us know if you have any questions.
Cheers!
