explanation
[edit]I reverted this edit.
If I am not mistaken contributors can pick to use first-name last-name or last-name, first-name, until a precedent is established. Then they are supposed to follow the example of the original contributor. Rewriting the order of names is counter-policy.
Personally I think continuing to use last-name, first-name shows 19th century thinking. last-name, first-name only made sense in the days when we were restricted to paper documents, and did not have tools to search for names. Geo Swan (talk) 02:37, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
