Amongst the most common Chinese surnames?

I'm not an expert on Chinese surnames: when 210.159.201.124 writes that "It is amongst one of the top five most common chinese surname which dated back to ancient time", does (s)he mean that either 黃 (Huang) or 王,汪 (Wang) are in the top 5 separately (and if so, which one?), or that both taken together make it as common as it is?

Second meaning

These are so different, is the existance of a second page, and perhaps this one as a disambig. page necessary (I know that they are only sub-stubs...) Estel 16:14, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)

I thought about this, but was dissuaded from creating a separate page after I read the advice on Disambiguation pages: "Sections on one page: Several small articles of just a paragraph or so each can co-exist on a single page, separated by headings. Although this is a disambiguation page, the disambiguation notice should not be put here as the page doesn't link to other articles with similar title. But as each section grows, there comes a point where each meaning must have a page of its own." ... and I took it to mean that, until the descriptions of either Wong1 or wong2 are significantly expanded, separate pages wouldn't be necessary(?) However: I've no strong feelings about the matter, and if you feel I'm misinterpreting, I'm more than happy to follow your initial advice.

Nah - it wasn't advice. That seems like the correct interpretation. What I will do though is add the headings to seperate the seperate meanings. Estel 12:51, Nov 8, 2004 (UTC)
