[edit] Surname

The article address the artist as Kuan. Like most Chinese names, Fan is the surname. Isn't it an English convention to address the person using his surname. i.e. Fan should be used in most of the sentences in the article. Kowloonese 01:10, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

You could have changed it yourself, but I've done it. —Lowellian (talk) 15:43, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] commons pictures

There are some pictures in commons:Category:Fan K'uan. However, the description there says "Fan K'uan, Work period: Beginning of 12th century, Work location: Kaifeng, Lo-yang, Chung-nan (Province Shensi, China)". I suppose it's the same guy, but the dates are quite a bit off. Rl 18:23, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC) They are dated 11th century now.--Skyfiler 18:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
