"Western order, e.g. family name last"

In fact there's a widespread Iberian practice of the penultimate name's being the main surname, and Hungarians, usually considered Western these days, have surname first like Far Easterners. Suggest "English-language order" instead. Peter Jackson 10:48, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Become an author first

Just what does this phrase mean? Become an author before you have an account - unlikely. Before an author holds any official office? Maybe. Can this be clarified? John R. Brews 14:41, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi John. I'm not sure where you got, "Become an author before you have an account". We're suggesting that new persons requesting Editor status be registered as author first, to get them started first, before vetting them for Editor status. We want to minimize delays creating an account for them.
Am I misunderstanding your question? Anthony.Sebastian 17:35, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
