Boleyn (talk) 10:41, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the patrols, Boleyn, but personally I think it's a bit of overkill to tag one-paragraph stubs for lacking inline citations and having one source. Moving the citations to the end of the single paragraph would be trivial, but seems pretty pointless since it really makes no difference to the reader. Regarding the number of sources, I don't know what others think, but to me the stub tag already conveys the need for expansion, which in itself implies additional sources. It'd seem pretty pointless to have half a dozen references tagged to the end of a single-paragraph stub. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:12, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
Also, please remember that maintenance tags should be placed after disambiguation hatnotes, thanks. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:20, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Sala Daeng moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sala Daeng, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 09:18, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice, Insertcleverphrasehere, but I must question the policy support behind such unilateral incubations. WP:DRAFTIFY only states that "Articles are incubated as a result of i) a deletion discussion, ii) an undeletion request, or iii) userfication". I'd appreciate if you submotted a formal AfD for the article instead, and have reverted the (out-of-process?) draftification for now. --Paul_012 (talk) 22:50, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
WP:DRAFTIFY isn't a policy, and there isn't a policy specifically outlining when draftification can and cannot be performed. Personally I use draftificaton for articles that are clearly not ready for article space, either because of very bad quality issues or because it is very undersourced (the case here). AfD is not right for this article, because this topic is notible enough for an article, the current version is just unfinished in terms of sourcing. Additional reliable sources are the solution, not deletion, however, I do not speak the language and cannot search them myself. Feel free to move the article back to the article space yourself after adding additional refs, or contaCT me and I can do it for you. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 07:13, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Kopoon Warrior F.C. ไม่ใช่สโมสรสมัครเล่น แต่เป็นสโมสรอาชีพ

ผมว่า คุณต้องตีความ WP:Notability ใหม่นะครับ โคปูน วอริเออร์ นี้เล่นในลีกอาชีพ T4 ของไทยนะครับ แต่คุณ Vanjagenije ก็ดันมาลบอีก ผมว่าแบบนี้ก็แทบไม่ต้องรายงานทุกลีกในประเทศไทยพอดี สื่อก็ให้ความสนใจและรายงานนะครับ เช่น https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Au5AJ7V_Ys, http://www.smmsport.com/news.php?tags=%E0%B9%82%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%9B%E0%B8%B9%E0%B8%99%20%E0%B8%A7%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B4%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C เป็นต้น ท่านต้องถามก่อนลบ ว่าอันไหนทีมอาชีพ อันไหนทีมสมัครเล่น ลบหมดมันเกินไปครับ Aquaelfin (talk) 02:57, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

ผมไม่ได้พูดถึงสโมสรโคปูนน่ะครับ บทความที่โดนลบแบบ speedy deletion (A7) คือเพราะไม่ได้อธิบายอย่างเพียงพอที่จะให้ผู้อ่านเข้าใจในเบื้องต้นว่าองค์กรนั้นมีความสำคัญอย่างไร เท่าที่ดู บทความตอนนี้มีลิงก์อ้างอิงไปยังรายงานข่าว ซึ่งน่าจะเพียงพอที่จะไม่โดนลบแล้วครับ --Paul_012 (talk) 04:41, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

Bangsai F.C. และ Khong Chee Mool F.C. มีข่าวในสำนักข่าวในไทยมาทำข่าวนะครับ

ไม่น่าจะเข้า WP:Notability เพราะ มี link สำนักข่าวไทย อาจไม่ใช่รายใหญ่มาก แต่สำนักข่าวท้องถิ่นตีเผยแพร่ในอินเตอร์เน็ตนะครับ Aquaelfin (talk) 09:10, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

ปกติข่าวที่จะนับว่าเป็นหลักฐานยืนยันความโดดเด่นพอให้มีบทความ จะต้องเป็นข่าวเชิงลึก (เช่น ประวัติสโมสร เจ้าของ การก่อตั้ง ฯลฯ) ไม่ใช่แค่รายงานการแข่งขันหรือข่าวสังคมน่ะครับ ถ้าเป็นแค่สำนักข่าวท้องถิ่นอาจจะไม่เพียงพอ ทางที่ดีควรจะมีมากกว่าหนึ่งแหล่งครับ เท่าที่หาดูคร่าว ๆ ผมไม่เจอรายงานข่าวที่จะเข้าข่ายสำหรับสองสโมสรนี้ (เทียบกับอย่างสโมสรธำรงไทย ซึ่งอันนั้นมีความโดดเด่นชัดเจนครับ) --Paul_012 (talk) 10:29, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
ผมว่าท่านก็เกินไป และต้องตี WP:Notability ให้มันใกล้เคียงกับความเป็นจริง สโมสรธำรงไทย นั่นมันอดีตสโมสรใหญ่นะครับ ข่าวมันย่อมมีมาก มันเรื่องธรรมดา แต่กับสโมสรเล็กๆ แค่มีข่าวออกมาที่ไม่ใช่ผลการแข่งขัน ผมถือว่าดังพอที่ลงเป็นบทความแล้วครับ ถ้าตีความแบบท่าน ตามที่เคยบอก ไม่ต้องเขียนอะไรพอดีเกือบทั้งลีก ไม่ใช่แค่ลีกสมัครเล่นด้วย WP:Notability ของท่านมันสูงและไม่ตรงกับความเป็นจริง Aquaelfin (talk) 3:04, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

De-Prodings

I noticed you removed my prods on a set of music albums. With the edit summary: (De-PRODed - Have to question the judgment involved in PRODing the most prominent band of one of the most influential genres in 20th century Thai society). [1] [2] [3] [4]. No worries, but I would appreciate it if you added some sources as the articles are all unreferenced. Generally speaking albums do not inherit notability from the band that made it, so if no-one adds any sources it may be sent to AfD by me or someone else later on. Dysklyver

I de-PRODed the articles because I wasn't sure if you were aware of the significance of the band itself, which was PRODed along with the albums. Feel free to take them to AfD. I don't actually think that all the albums warrant a standalone article, just that they warranted further discussion. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:30, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
I will say that the band itself did not seem significant to me. I won't be taking the articles to AfD (at least not for 5 months or so), but thought I would point out that they don't look significant for someone who doesn’t know about the band. Dysklyver 11:47, 9 November 2017 (UTC)

Thai municipal government

Hey, I wanted to continue the discussion on Thai municipal governance without further clogging up the article page. Local government in different countries is an interest of mine. To reiterate, I get that municipal government is a different dimension than administrative division and are for most purposes are independent of the administrative divisions; this is true of most countries. I just wanted to clarify which level the different municipalities correspond to on the administrative level. For instance, using town-municipality (thesban mueang) Chonbuir as an example, we'd say that Chonburi is in Mueang Chonburi District which is in Chonburi Provice, correct? Essentially, this would mean that the corresponding administrative level would be that of sub-district/township, that is to say that it's a high enough a level that it's not in a township as well. I'm guessing this means that both city and town municipalities (with the two special cases excepting) are at the sub-district level, that is that once a defined territory is granted "city" or "town" status it cease to belong part of the subdistrict/township it was carved out of, correct?

Now, getting down to subdistrict/township municipalities (thetsaban tambon) is where I get confused. Are they still said to "belong to" or "be in" the subdistrict(s)/township(s) in which they are carved out of? For instance, is Bueng Kan township municipality "in" Bueng Kan Township (and it appears part of Wisit Township) or carved out of and independent of it like the city and town municipalities are? It may very well be that all municipalities are on the same level like you originally said.

Finally, not municipal governments, but on the administrative divisions, it appears that anything not in a municipality is in subdistrict (tambon), which are then further subdivided into villages (muban), correct? It appears villages don't have a corresponding municipal level, that they are lower than anything else.

BTW, I left a similar question of clarification on the pages for Myanmar. You wouldn't happen to know about their municipal governments, would you? --Criticalthinker (talk) 23:39, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

A municipality (whichever kind) isn't actually carved out of the subdistrict(s) in which they're located. The subdistricts, as well as the villages, continue to exist (at least on the map), although many of their responsibilities will be taken over by the municipality. In the case of city and town municipalities, the posts of subdistrict headman (kamnan) and village headman (phuyai ban) of the subdistricts and villages that are entirely within the municipality limits are abolished. This leaves the subdistricts and villages only as boundaries by which addresses are assigned and population statistics recorded.
In the case of thesaban tambon, those posts may continue to exist side-by-side with the municipality. This wasn't by design; the situation emerged because the entrenched kamnan and phuyai ban protested and forced the scaling down of the 2000s' decentralising reforms.
So, to answer your questions,
we'd say that Chonburi [Municipality] is in Mueang Chonburi District which is in Chonburi Provice, correct?
Correct for Chonburi, but not always. Map Ta Phut Town Municipality, for example, spans the area of two districts. Saying that it's in a subdistrict/district is just a geographical description.
it's a high enough a level that it's not in a township [subdistrict] as well.
Yes, but there are also municipalities which are smaller than the subdistrict (not exactly sure if this is true for those at the town or city level), so it would also be correct to say that those are within the subdistrict, geographically.
once a defined territory is granted "city" or "town" status it cease to belong part of the subdistrict/township it was carved out of, correct?
As explained above, municipalities aren't carved out of the subdistricts, although in the case of towns and cities, the subdistricts' governmental functions are taken over by the municipalities.
is Bueng Kan township municipality "in" Bueng Kan Township (and it appears part of Wisit Township) or carved out of and independent of it like the city and town municipalities are?
In this case, the most correct would be to say that the area of Bueng Kan Township Municipality overlaps with the area of Bueng Kan Subdistrict. I'd say they're independent of each other.
it appears that anything not in a municipality is in subdistrict (tambon), which are then further subdivided into villages (muban), correct?
Actually, every location is always in a subdistrict (as mentioned above). But the areas outside of a municipality would be part of a Subdistrict Administration Organisation (SAO), which confusingly is another local government type that doesn't always correspond to the subdistrict. You were probably thinking of these when you mentioned carving out.
The subdistricts (not SAOs) are subdivied into villages, that is correct.
It appears villages don't have a corresponding municipal level, that they are lower than anything else.
Municipalities may also be subdivided into khwaeng (confusingly the same term that Bangkok uses for its subdistricts, though they're different things), and further into chumchon (communities). This varies by municipality, though, so I'm not sure how comparable they are. Some municipalities have chumchon that correspond 1:1 to the mu ban, while others don't.
All this can be extremely confusing, and is mostly the result of not-wholly-successful implementation of the decentralisation policies called for by the 1997 constitution. The article is woefully inadequate, but a lot has been written of the issue outside of Wikipedia. I see quite a few journal articles, which are paywalled, but there's this chapter from Public Sector Reform in Developing and Transitional Countries which has a preview on Google Books. If you're interested in details of Thai local governments and bodies, User:Ahoerstemeier has covered a huge amount in his blog at http://tambon.blogspot.com . Oh, and I don't know anything about Myanmar, unfortunately. --Paul_012 (talk) 03:19, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for all of this! Okay, so municipal governance is another layer of local governance; it's an overlay over the subdistrict administration organisations. I've actually seen this before in other places, and in fact is very similar to a type of municipality in my homestate of Michigan. In Michigan, an incorporated village (a municipal government) actually isn't a carve-out of its surrounding township, but exists within it. In fact, a resident of a village pays both village and township taxes. So, I am familiar with this concept. The difference with my state, it seems, is that when a city incorporated territory, that part of the township ceases to exist. In fact, the closest comparison in my neck of the woods would be to Indiana where municipalities overlay townships. I guess the difference is that in incorporated cities in Indiana, the township government actually still exists under the city government. So even in a place like Indianapolis, which covers multiple townships you pay taxes to both the township government and the city government; you are represented on the township level by trustees, and on the city level by city councillers.
Yes, the SAO's not always corresponding to subdistrict boundaries is a bit confusing, and that's for correcting that for me. Though, it's not a totally foreign idea. Using my state, again, as an example, in Michigan you have survey townships and then township government (civil townships). Survey townships existed before anything else, as they were layed out before many areas were settled and before they gained township government organization. So, some civil townships consists of entire survey townships (sometimes multiple), and sometimes only consists of parts of survey townships. However, every location in the state is under a township, village or city government. If a civil township only covers part of an old survey township, than the remaining part is also under a civil township or city government.
So I guess my last question is whether Thailand's terrtitory, like Michigan's, is covered either by a city, town, township municipality or SAO municipality? And then, also, in the case that the territory of the country is covered entirely by municipal and local government does that mean that in a rural area that an SAO could actually cover only parts of administrative village boundaries, since SAO's don't always correspond to whole subdistricts? Now THAT could get really confusing. lol So, you could live under the jurisdiction of an SAO local government, a subdistrict council, and a village headman (and maybe advisory village council)?! And then just to further get what you said, in city and town municipalities, SAO's wouldn't exist, but subdistricts still exist on paper, but that their function is essentially abolished, right? So city municipalities, town municipalities, and township municipalities and SAOs exists as a seperate local and/or municipal governance layer, and then you have town and villages existing part of the greater administrative division regime of the country. The municial and local government territories can overlay parts of subdistricts and parts of villages, but can also include multiple and multiple parts of townships and and villages. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:02, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Paul already answered so well, I have almost nothing to add. The SAO were created by upgrading the Subdistrict Councils, which were set up to cover the non-municipal areas of each subdistrict in the early 1970s. Only by the upgrade to SAOs in the 1990s they became real local governments however, before they were just councils with ex-officio members with very limited authority. Any area of the kingdom is either in a municipality or a SAO, or a special administrative area (BKK and Pattaya) - so SAOs are nothing but a 4th type of municipality with lower power than the Thesaban Tambon. Actually, there are plans to upgrade all SAO to Thesaban Tambon, but not sure about the current status of that proposal. andy (talk) 11:27, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks the both of you for clarifying this. If any changes can be made to the administrative divisions page for the country or the page on thesbans that may help clarify this, that would be great. If not, not a big deal, but I can see how a novice looking into this like myself would be instantly confused.
One more question, however, related to something I asked above. We know that SAOs amd municipalities may not always cover the entire territory of a subdistrict/township, but does this also mean that a SAO or municipality may only cover part of a village, too? Or must the boundaries of the local governments always correspond to at least village boundaries? Can a local government split village boundaries? --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:30, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
@Criticalthinker: Yes, Muban can be partially in two different local administrations. And don't limit your thinking to SAO, many of the SAO have been upgraded to Thesaban already, so there also cases where Muban are split between two different Thesaban. andy (talk) 14:40, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. And, yeah, it's why I talked about both SAOs AND municipalities. I didn't forget about the thesaban.  ;) --Criticalthinker (talk) 16:20, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Renaming of the page AVANI

Hello Paul, With regards to renaming AVANI Hotels & Resorts to Avani Hotels & Resorts. The brand name of this hotel chain goes as AVANI (all capital) so It should be corrected so. :)

Pushpithaw82 (talk) 07:48, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Pushpithaw82, Wikipedia follows its own style guide regarding capitalisation, and brand and organisation names should use title case regardless of the style used by the brand itself (unless the name is an abbreviation). So we have Yahoo!, not YAHOO! and Sony Mobile, not SONY Mobile, etc, even though the companies themselves spell the names in all caps.

Markhyun and my Talk page

I came to apologize for being so terse with you. I'm not the warmest, fuzziest administrator even in the best of times, but I've been sick for almost two weeks, and it makes me crankier than usual. I'm still not going to answer your question, but I'll explain a little why. CheckUsers have to make determinations all the time whether to tag the userpage of a sock. Many things go into that decision. Without going into detail, in this particular case the Markhyun account was definitely a sock, but it wasn't clear to me who the master was. Therefore, I intentionally left off the tag. It also means I couldn't tell you even if I felt comfortable policy-wise doing so.

As for your issue with the draft, did you want to know whether it was appropriate to tag the draft with WP:CSD#G5, or was it some other reason? If you explain that bit to me, perhaps I can help.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:31, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation—that helps a lot. Regarding the draft, the G5 issue was pretty much it, yes. Thanks. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:10, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
If I G5'd the draft, I'd be effectively making a determination of who the master is, and I'm unwilling to push that envelope. In addition, to be consistent, I'd have to G5 all the pages created by Markhyun (all apparently promoting NCT). I'm hardly an expert in bands and singers, but I don't see why this draft should be singled out. Sorry I can't do what you want.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:27, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Okay, thanks anyway. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:19, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:38, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Your revert edit summary cites WP:HAT. I have to ask... did you read it? "Basic rule #1" states:

Link directly to other articles; do not pipenon-disambiguation links. Linking to redirects is typically not preferred, although of course exceptions can occur.

. (bolding mine) In this case, you are linking to a re-direct based on a page move that hasn't even occurred yet, and might not occur at all. Linking to the article with its current title in the "See also" is not only sufficient, but appropriate. A self-revert here is called for. - wolf 12:00, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Thewolfchild, kindly re-check my second edit, which did not link to the redirect. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:11, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Ah, so it wasn't a revert, it was just an edit. And a rather puerile use of the "undo" function. My post above still supports my revert, (which actually was a revert). So now you have a hatnote to a completely different article title...? How is that even remotely necessary? And why is it that you are sooo opposed to a link in the "See also" section? Which should certainly suffice in directing the millions of lost daily "Thai Navy SEAL" page seekers... - wolf 12:25, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Thewolfchild, I didn't use the undo function for that edit. Did it trigger the notification? That's rather odd, since it isn't marked (Tag: Undo) in the article history. In any case, links in the See also section are intended for readers who have finished reading the current article, suggesting related topics they might be interested in. Hatnotes, on the other hand, are for readers who inadvertently arrive at the article while searching for another, so that they may find their intended target. In this case, Naval Special Warfare Command is an ambiguous term which may refer to either the US or Thai units. Readers looking for the Thai unit who type its official name in the search bar will be redirected to United States Naval Special Warfare Command. A hatnote is needed to correctly lead them to the article about the Thai unit. FYI, Natg 19 initially added the hatnote in response to an edit to Naval Special Warfare Command, which converted it to a disambiguation page. Since the disambiguation page contained only two links, it was redirected and the hatnote added per WP:2DABS: "If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic, then a disambiguation page is not needed—it is sufficient to use a hatnote on the primary topic article, pointing to the other article." --Paul_012 (talk) 12:41, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Yes, I did get a notification. Your rather lengthy reply aside, that hatnote looks silly. If you won't change it back, so be it, but once that RM is closed, it will likely be changed anyway. (fyi). Have a nice day. - wolf 13:20, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

List of mountains in Thailand

Hello Paul 012 - My changes are by no means "Qutie clearly erroneous". On the Internet you will find three names, which are supposed to affect all the same mountain. Phu Thap Boek, Phu Tabberg and Phu Man Khao. This is "Qutie clearly erroneous". As you could check yourself - there are actually three different mountains, in different places. Phu Thap Boek is located in Phu Hin Rong Klao National Park in Loei Province. Phu Tabberg is located in Phetchabun province. Phu Man Khao is located in Phitsanulok province. So clearly three different mountains. On the internet, someone invented this name confusion - many companies (for example: Agoda, Tripadvisor) have taken over these false texts unchecked. Since Wikipedians should do better research for their texts, I would like to have revised these three mountains / contributions. On the Internet can be found a lot of false information. Are we packing? With kind regards --KusiD (talk) 06:37, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

For anyone with a basic familiarity with the Thai language, "Tabberg" is very obviously a non-standard alternative romanisation of Thap Boek. There is no Phu Thap Boek or Tabberg in Phu Hin Rong Kla NP; its highest point is Phu Man Khao. The confusion you refer to indeed appears to be the cause of the misattribution. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:11, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello Paul_012 - Okay - Phu Tabberk exists just like Phu Thap Boek. Proofs? May I help you:

Phu Tabberk - Coordinates: 16° 53' 51.70" N, 101° 06' 19.63" E. This mountain is falsely referred to in Wikipedia as Phu Thap Boek. Please study the link below and you will notice that there is exactly the Phu Tabberk (with picture!) Described - which is called on Wiki as Phu Thap Boek. On the Phu Tabberk I was personally already. It can be found there a board with just that name and the elevation.

Link: https://www.tourismthailand.org/Attraction/Phu-Tabberk--4837

Phu Thap Boek - Coordinates16° 54' 24.27" N, 101° 05' 10.31" E. This is a very different mountain than described in Wiki. This is in the Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park and is densely wooded. It has a very eventful history and today still houses various military facilities. Read the following link - and you know more than many "Internet specialists".

Link: https://www.thainationalparks.com/phu-hin-rong-kla-national-park

Whether someone is familiar with the Thai language or not - this has nothing to do with it - but with factual research. That there is a Phu Thap Boek in the Phu Hin Rong Kla NP is indeed confirmed with the above link from official side. That the Phu Tabberk should stand in the Phu Hin Rong Kla NP I have never said. So - no confusion and no misallocation - only misserable research has led to this confusion.

What do you think? With kind regards --KusiD (talk) 13:36, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

It's best to keep conversation in one place. I'll copy continue the conversation at Talk:Phu Thap Boek. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:29, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

Dear Paul

I want you to help me decide about a page List of palaces in Bangkok in my opinion I think this page is duplicate with List of Thai royal residences and it will make a problem about updating and information is duplicate. For the solution I reference the prototype page List of British royal residences they don't have List of palaces in London page. they have only Category:Palaces in London so I propose to delete List of palaces in Bangkok page and substitute with Category:Palaces in Bangkok.

This solution help us to prove and update Wikipedia easily.

P.S. I would like to invite @Sodacan: to help to solve this problem too. Ministerboy (talk) 04:13, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Ministerboy, I was pretty much thinking the same thing back then when I revised the pages. But the current list structure doesn't make it easy for readers to identify Bangkok palaces in the main list. A category wouldn't be an adequate substitute, as there are list entries that still lack articles. Probably the best way would be to re-format the main list as a sortable Wikitable. This way it'd be simple for readers to sort the list by location. I don't really like using tables for lists like these, but it's probably the best solution. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:04, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the translation. As I explained it is not absolutely necessary to be Thai speaker to be able to judge sources when reviewing articles. Thanks to Google translate we can have a very fair idea of the quality of a source. When I nominate I always add to deletion sorting the country concerned by the article so that anyone watching can participate. You have used the same sources in a large number of article such as Thai fourfourtwo and as Paul_012 has already pointed out it cannot be considered as a reliable source. I would be grateful if Paul could have a look at the recent nominations and give his opinion about the sources. I have just seen that Paul has also nominated some of your articles so I don't think that you were canvassing now. You have created an awful lot of articles about new clubs that have never played a game so it is very unliklely they will pass the notabilty requirements. i would suggest that you wait until they have participated in the Thai FA cup before creating the article or at least have played a full season. --Dom from Paris (talk) 17:59, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Duplicate article

Hello! I seem to have inadvertently created a duplicate article. I saw Khrong Chandawong listed as a missing high-priority bio in the Thailand project and created the page, and then noticed you had already created Krong Chandawong. I'd like to merge the pages together and leave one as a redirect, but I am not sure which spelling to use as the primary. Since you seem to be literate in Thai, and I am not, I will be happy to defer to your judgement on the matter, since the sources seem evenly split on it. Thanks! PohranicniStraze (talk) 03:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Ah... actually, another editor created the article now at Krong Chandawong, but it was me who moved it to this spelling. I also longer ago added the name to the request list, following the names listed in the appendix to Baker & Phongpaichit's History of Thailand, and forgot about it. To answer the question, though, I'm not quite sure myself, but I'm leaning toward Khrong Chandawong, if only because it's used by the more familiar recent sources (Baker & Phongpaichit, Thak Chaloemtiarana). I'll go ahead and redirect the other article to your version, which is much better written. --Paul_012 (talk) 08:26, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply! I think I've merged some of the relevant material in, like the photo and the connection with Tiang Sirikhanth; do you think there's anything else useful to add from the Thai-language source in the previous article? PohranicniStraze (talk) 15:09, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Dear Paul 012

I have some issue to ask you in Thailand national under-21 football team page, I think it is not necessary to create this page due to in Asia football other country in Asia use only U17 U20 and U23 no U21 and the important is in the official continent match their are no compettiton about U21. Their have only friendly compettition and you can see in other asia country their are no U21 team. So can you please delete or make a discussion to delete U21 page cuz it overlap with U23 page.

U21 is only policy from the FA to send a player to U23 in official match so U21 is not a main or important to have a page on Wikipedia.

Rajavithi Hospital

Hello there, you restored this article with claim that it is the "Largest hospital under the Ministry of Public Health, clearly notable". Are you going to verify that claim? as the article is currently sourced only to the official website of the hospital. Secondly, you said "Sourcing alone is not reason not to allow an article", you are an old editor so you must be aware of WP:V. Where does it say that sourcing is not important?

I will also like to bring this ANI case to your attention where the user thought moving back drafts to mainspace without adding sources is fine. He was recently blocked indefinitely. Regards Hitro talk 13:58, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

A source's non-independence does not preclude its being used to support statements about itself, per WP:ABOUTSELF. I did not say sourcing is not important. What I meant is that having few citations is not reason not to allow an article to exist and be improved in Mainspace. Moving a page to draft, like any other edit, is subject to the WP:BRD, so I don't see anything wrong with reverting disputed draftifications. Failing agreement, the article can always be brought to AfD for further discussion. I usually follow the line of thought of Wikipedia:There is no deadline, and the article wasn't high on my priority list, but since you asked nicely despite what came across as a thinly veiled threat, I've expanded the article. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:25, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Paul 012. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "History of Thailand since 2001".

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Re:G4 deletion of Sumethee Khokpho

I can't. G4 is for cases in which the recreated material is substantially similar to the previously deleted version, and in this case mandatory check before the deletion showed that the one line present in the article at the time it was tagged for G4 was 99% similar to the one line their in 2017 when the article was last nominated for deletion. If you want to dodge the G4 issue, you need more material and better citations in the article, more the former than the latter in this case. If its substantially different then the deleted version then it can be returned to afd as opposed to being summarily deleted. For what it is worth though, coming from the admin perspective, this seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON: there are roughly half a dozen deletion notations and each of the previous versions has never really built on what little there was to begin with. Perhaps a redirect would be more in order for the time being? It would at a minimum point people to his achievements with a team, which is better than nothing (although as a content contributor I do conceded that this is usually not a favored option for those who want an article).

Veiled Christ

Thanks for finding and uploading another good image, although someone should crop it to remove the crowd (I don't have the software to do so and upload it). I can see the coloring is different from the disputed image. Maybe, if that passes, both can be used on its main page. Would a cropped image of the one you put up qualify for pic of the day? Nice work. Randy Kryn (talk) 18:47, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

The colouring is probably due to the white balance, which is probably a bit too warm in the one I uploaded. Regarding FPC, unfortunately it wouldn't qualify either. The image is too small to begin with (FP requires at least 1,500 pixels width and height), and the focus isn't sharp. The sculpture really is exceptional, but it's the quality of the photo that determines the Featured Picture status. It would have to be a great photo to do justice to the sculpture. (I tried looking for examples, and there appear to be very few sculptures that have passed FPC. The only marble sculpture FP currently listed is of the Pieta, File:Michelangelo's Pieta 5450 cropncleaned edit.jpg.) --Paul_012 (talk) 19:15, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for looking. That's too bad that other marble sculptures can't make the cut, as there are many major ones which should be seen by a wider audiences.

Apology - MCOT HD move

Hi Paul, I just wanted to apologize thoroughly for lumping MCOT HD in the Bankster move list. I was frustrated at some of the other moves and especially at Bankster not even using requested moves or offering any space to discuss the changes he proposed (some of those articles were high-profile enough that I thought an RM was merited), and the title "Channel 9 MCOT HD" stuck out to me while reviewing his move history as being way out of tune with MOS. I should have, in hindsight, made that its own RM and pinged you. Thank you for your understanding. Raymie (tc) 18:28, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

I've heard you or somebody else say once that navigation templates should not be included in an article if there is no link in the template that links back that article. Do I understand this correctly? If so, where is the guideline for this located at? Thanks.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 12:30, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi. It's under the WP:NAVBOX section of WP:Categories, lists, and navigation templates, specifically at WP:BIDIRECTIONAL. The statement of the guideline is actually reversed, saying that an article that transcludes a navbox should also be linked in the template, but they're logically equivalent. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:51, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks, Paul! I asked it because it came up in a GA review of someone else's article. Oh, and by the way, would you be interested to do a GA review sometimes? Jīvaka hasn't been reviewed yet, for example.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 12:37, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Simon Kuke edit

Hello, I noticed that you made a small edit on the Simon Kuke page today, changing the wikilink from Thai people to Thailand in the introduction. You did not explain the reasoning behind this edit, would you mind clarifying for me? The original seemed accurate as Simon is a person and thus the link referring to him as Thai seems appropriate. Thank you. werewolf (talk) 03:34, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

When someone is introduced as a Thai person, it's most likely referring to their nationality, i.e. saying that the person is a citizen of Thailand. The Thai people article, on the other hand, is primarily about the Thai ethnic group, which is one of many in Thailand. In most cases it would be inaccurate to link to Thai people unless the person's ethnicity is explicitly mentioned. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:52, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
Fair enough, thanks for explaining. werewolf (talk) 13:44, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Unbalanced vs Broaden

Hey Paul, thanks for getting back to me! I did actually intend for the article to have the "Unbalanced" template. Before I made edits, the articles made by Torpido were filled with WP:PEACOCK words. I tried to remove what I could, but because all of the articles were written with the same biased intention, I added the unbalanced tag to the articles that it was necessary. If you want to go back through the edit history for that article and Phadung Dao Road, you may, so you could see where I was coming from when I tried to fix the bias. However, based on the current state of the article, I will agree that "Broaden" is the best course of action for Unakan Road. Utopes (talk) 00:09, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

WikiProject question?

Hi Paul 012, I'm not entirely sure how to reply to messages on my talkpage, so I figured I'd just reply here. Thanks for letting me know about files not usually having talk pages or WikiProject banners, didn't know about that. Does that apply to categories as well, or can I keep tagging those? ShinyDialga777 (talk) 21:53, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

ShinyDialga777, replying here is fine, though it's more common nowadays to reply on the same page where the discussion was started. You can link to another editor's user page to generate a notification, like I've done here. Tagging category talk pages should be fine. It'd be best to make sure you're familiar with each WikiProject's scope, and work mainly on those projects you know. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:12, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Listed buildings and structures

You suggested that I should sort out the muddle in this tree. I wanted to put my thoughts to you before acting. I am not sure that the "by heritage register" level adds much, except where there are multiple registers. Accordingly "listed buildings and structures in fooland" should be in "listed buildings and structures" only, but where there are multiple registers, as UK, Canada and Hong Kong, a by register level might be useful. IN the case of UK there is in fact already a parent, UK listed buildings and structures, so that perhaps in that case this is not useful. What do you think? I have bookmarked your talk page, so please feel free to reply here. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

I agree that "by heritage register" as currently used pretty much actually means "by country", and could be done away with. But we're still left with Category:Buildings and structures by heritage register and type. The subcats there pretty much use "by heritage register" as shorthand to mean "listed ... by country". We'll probably need a follow-up CfD to rename Category:Railway stations by heritage register, to Category:Listed railway stations by country, etc.
There's still the issue of how to name the categories. "Listed" is somewhat UK-specific, and the main Listed building article is exclusively about the UK scheme. "Heritage-listed", on the other hand, is used by Australia. I'm not sure what would be the best neutral term for all other countries, but I had in the meantime created Category:Heritage buildings and structures in Thailand and Category:Heritage buildings and structures in Spain. If a different scheme is adopted, please rename these two.
There's also the issue of overlap with Category:Heritage registers by country. When this new by-country cat has been tidied up, we could follow up with purging the buildings and structures subcats from the register tree, leaving only list articles about the actual registers. There's also Category:Historic sites by country, but I'll try not to touch that just yet. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:26, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!
