[edit] Third tai-pan

Wasn't Malcolm Straun (Culum & Tess's son) technically the third tai-pan? He wasnt officially given the title due to his age, but he had every right to call himself one in the short time he had.

[edit] List of Characters, Links

I don't think the long list of characters is warranted. I recommend that only the main characters be retained, and their associated one paragraph "articles" be incorporated into this article. See, for example, The Brothers Karamazov for a good article on a much more important work. Notice that even very notable characters such as Ivan Karamazov do not get their own page.--S Roper 02:23, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Agree I've started a lot of merge discussions. JASpencer 20:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Since there didn't seem to be any objection over a month later, I merged most of the articles I could find that had tags (and one or two really stubby ones that didn't). And I agree, the long lists do need to go. I am removing the "refered" one at this time and the other one might need to go sometime as well. Radagast83 23:19, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing character

I'm missing out the Japanese girl that AMG was married to. She decended from Toranaga (Clavell's other famous novell).
