+:::Before you go starting another frenzy of romanizing names. Here are some tips:
+::::General
+:::::Do check which one is the first name and which one is the last name, and go for Western convention. Google Translate desn't usually reverse the order.
+:::::Don't leave English translation, unless they don't refer to people (e.g. studios, companies)
+:::::Also, don't leave the kanji/hanzi. That's the point of romanizing the text.
+:::::Don't mix the romanized text (Chinese with Japanese, or Chinese with Korean)
+::::Japanese names
+::::::Names with hiragana and katakana
+::::::Names with four or more characters
+::::::Names with two-character surname
+:::::Please do use the {{tt|macroned letters|They're in the character palette.}} when the vowels are elongated (ā,ē,ī,ō,ū), e.g. {{tt|大 as ō|Not always true, as 大 can be read as tai/dai}}, 佐藤 as Satō (not Sato).
+:::::Please determine first which
+::::Chinese Names
+::::::Two-character names
+::::::Three-character names (May overlap with Japanese and Korean names)
+:::::The first character is the surname. When romanizing, put them at the back.
+:::::For the last two characters, put a dash in between. (e.g. 王長春‎ = Chang-Chun Wang).
+:::::If the name has only two characters, no dash is needed (e.g 張偉 is Wei Zhang, don't write it as Zhang Wei)
+::::Korean Names
+:::::Unfortunately, it is usually indistinguishable to Chinese names.
+:::::Usually starts with 金 (Kim)/李(Lee)/{{tt|朴 (Park)|It's almost certain that only Korean names use this}}.

 I feel like I need to put this somewhere.  I suck.  I don't even feel like writing my customized signature.  --[[User:YoshisWorld|YoshisWorld]] 23:43, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
