Would there happen to be a list of reliable and unreliable sources? Btspurplegalaxy 🗩 🖉 21:27, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
I need help from an experienced Wikipedian to get my draft approved. I have tried my best, but it keeps getting rejected. I need help finding reliable sources. I kindly ask for assistance.Publiconline123 (talk) 07:10, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Some of you may be aware of the existence of Wikimedia Thailand, the local chapter that coordinates real-world Wikimedia activities in the country. Currently, community members are discussing options for the chapter's registration as a legal entity in Thailand. Please see the discussion (mainly in Thai) at meta:Talk:Wikimedia Thailand/Registration if you're interested. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:24, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
I have nominated Durian for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog Farm Talk 17:38, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
FYI. m:Talk:Wikimedia Thailand/WikiForHumanRights We will launch this in the near future. The details can still be changed. Your input is valuable to the organizer team. WMTH activities cover both English and Thai Wikipedia and other sister projects. The discussion page is still however in Thai for the convenience of the majority of the participants. With international sponsors, we do have bilingual project pages such as m:Wikimedia_Thailand/WikiGap_2022. --Taweetham (talk) 03:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ((cite web)), ((cite journal)) and ((doi)).
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

There is currently a dispute: In articles about former and incumbent Prime Ministers of Thailand and also Governor of Bangkok, should the "Ordinal number" be add in the infobox containing the minister's and the governor’s number?
Example: It should be "20th Prime Minister of Thailand" instead of "Prime Minister of Thailand" or "17th Governor of Bangkok" instead of "Governor of Bangkok".

This doesn't seem like something that should have necessarily required an RfC. If I understand the situation correctly, a certain user (along with several IPs) unilaterally removed the order numbers from several articles, starting an edit war, and refused to engage in discussion. Seems like a simple case of retaining the status quo, seeing as it's long been common practice in the large majority of articles and no reasons against it have been put forward.. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:32, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
I recently moved this article from mainspace to draft per WP:DRAFTIFY. I believe the subject is notable and may have significant coverage in Thai sources, but as somebody not at all familiar with the language I've struggled to find any. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers. – 2.O.Boxing 21:36, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I recently wrote a draft on the movie, The Antique Shop (Draft:The Antique Shop), which is short of one or two reviews before it can be pushed to the mainspace with minimal notability issues. I have trouble finding reviews online as the movie has only been released in Thailand. Can someone here help to find usable sources (and also help add to the review/reception section, and also help to correct whatever mistakes I may have inadvertently make relying on Google Translate. I tried, but I don't know how accurate it is.)? Thanks! – robertsky (talk) 06:49, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm sad to announce that Ahoerstemeier has passed away (see hiscondolence page on the German Wikipedia). Since he did a lot of the groundwork on articles about Thai districts and made an appearance on the project talk page relatively recently, I thought it was worth mentioning his passing here.

I'm wondering whether anyone from this WikiProject might be able to help out ศักดา กุลนาแพง. They're posting things on their user talk page that I think are in Thai, but I'm not sure. There isn't a template for Thai in Category:Non-English welcome messages and I'm not sure they will be able to understand ((uw-notenglishtalk)). Most of their edits have been in the user namespace, but it looks like they did try to ask for help on some other user's talk page and at the Help Desk. The messages were, however, not in English so they were just deleted. If their posts are in Thai, then perhaps someone could try and explain to them that English is preferred on English Wikipedia and that they should try editing at Thai Wikipedia if they want to edit in Thai. I tried using Google translate for some of their posts and it looks like they might be trying to create either an autobiography or some other article on their user talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:19, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
Referring to Talk:2022 in Thailand#Lead in Year article, there is a discussion to determine what details make "proper leads" in Year in Thailand articles (eg. 2022 in Thailand). Some suggest that they should include regnal year, Rattanakosin Era and Buddhist Era (the current status quo). But there is no precedence in other similar articles whether Year in United Kingdom or Year in Japan articles. Even in Year articles, such as 2022, leads include summary of important events and not comparing multiple calendars. So I propose that Year in Thailand articles should follow the style as in year articles. Horus (talk) 11:38, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping. If I remember correctly, the current format was introduced by me in the 1932 in Siam article, which introduces the list as such:
The year 1932 was the 151st year of the Rattanakosin Kingdom of Siam (now known as Thailand). It was the eighth year in the reign of King Prajadhipok (Rama VII), and is reckoned as year 2474 (1 January – 31 March) and 2475 (1 April – 31 December) in the Buddhist Era. The year is most notable in the history of Thailand as the year in which the abolition of absolute monarchy by the Khana Ratsadon took place, on 24 June.
I believe the details provide important context for the reader's understanding of the topic, at least in that article.
You do have a point in that the kingdom and regnal years don't seem very relevant especially to recent years, which are more within the scope of current events than historical study. But I'd say such contextualisation is consistent with properly developed year articles, which do note the year's calendar designations and order in the millennium, century, and decade. The 2022 article in your example says it's "the 2022nd year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 22nd year of the 3rd millennium and the 21st century, and the 3rd year of the 2020s decade." I think the status quo gives the equivalent information for Thailand-specific year articles, and already follows the style in year articles as you suggest.
That said, I don't feel strongly about the kingdom/reign years, and won't mind either keeping or dropping them. Naming the reigning monarch might not be as important compared to more distant history, but I'm still not quite convinced about removing this. I do think the Buddhist Era reckoning should always be given in the opening, per the above. This is consistent with Japan articles e.g. 1992 in Japan (though this has indeed been neglected for more recent years).
In any case, actual summaries for each individual year should of course be written. The problem is that the vast majority of year in country articles were created en masse by editors who didn't care to properly develop them, and few have bothered to do so. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Maybe it could be something like this?The year 2020 is the 239th year of the Rattanakosin Kingdom of Thailand. It is the fifth year in the reign of King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X), and is reckoned as year 2563 in the Buddhist Era. The year was most significantly marked the by the global COVID-19 pandemic, which reached Thailand in January, as well as widespread youth-led protest movements against the government and for reform of the monarchy.
