I agree, but for now it's a step ahead of where we are. Another interesting challenge will come from how we deal and reconcile with the established policy of putting names as [[John Smith]] instead of [[Smith, John]]
I think this will be easy to solve in the Esperanto version since we use the standard Esperanto convention [[John SMITH]] to show last names, since Asians tend to put their last names first, like [[ZHU Xin]]. Is this technically easy to do on the Esperanto wikipedia? I know Miroslav always complains about this lack in the Wikipedia software...
Thanks, Chuck

Interesting. Block capitals for surnames is also popular among genealogists where you often need to skim through a lot of material to find the relevant ones. For the moment I'll stay neutral on that idea.
