Pronunciation of redundant parts of foreign namesI've made a project-relevant query at the MOS talk page, at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Pronunciation of redundant parts of foreign names. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:38, 21 February 2019 (UTC) WP 1.0 Bot BetaHello! Your WikiProject has been selected to participate in the WP 1.0 Bot rewrite beta. This means that, starting in the next few days or weeks, your assessment tables will be updated using code in the new bot, codenamed Lucky. You can read more about this change on the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team page. Thanks! audiodude (talk) 06:48, 27 February 2019 (UTC) A new newsletter directory is out!A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
RfD for ceremonial name of BangkokThere is an RfD at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2019_July_9#Long_Thai_name_of_Bangkok regarding redirects from the full ceremonial name of Bangkok. Your input is welcome. Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 22:01, 9 July 2019 (UTC) Old place namesI recently transcribed an 1883 work, on Wikisource: s:Notes of a journey across the Isthmus of Krà. Where possible I have linked (from footnotes) place (and people's) names to the current Wikipedia equivaents. However the book includes many place names for which I have not been able to find the modern equivalent. That also means that, if the modern equivalents have Wikipedia articles or Wikidata items, they do not include the old names (or, at least, the peculiar transliterations of those names used in the book). The names are:

Can someone educated rewrite following low quality articles?I can not find alternative sources online, so I suppose it is important to maintain these articles in good state. But currently it is too bad even for written-off school essay. It is a shame to publish it. Illogic structure, terrible language, errors even in the simplest facts, etc. Everything in these articles is terrible. --5.18.102.211 (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
Looking for free online source for history of ThailandHello, can anyone point me to free online available source for History of Thailand? I already have access to Wyatt's Thailand: A Short History, and Library of Congress's Country Studies, but I would love to have a diverse range of source to compare. Either chronology or topic-specific would do. Thanks. --Wedjet (talk) 18:10, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables. We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC) Place name disambiguatorsI've tried moving articles around for consistency many times, yet I keep having trouble keeping track of whether it should be Victory Monument, Bangkok, Victory Monument (Bangkok), Victory Monument, Thailand or Victory Monument (Thailand). Let's try and write this down:
This leaves us with hotels and religious buildings. For chain hotels, the location is usually part of the name, so include the city with a comma (Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok) or without (Dusit Thani Bangkok). Independent hotels should be treated like other buildings and landmarks. Temples and churches seem to have a tendency to be named using comma disambiguation, even though they're usually unrelated and logically should probably use Church (City). I'll just stick to the status quo for the time being. Any thoughts? I'll be moving some articles around to bring them in line with the above. --Paul_012 (talk) 17:19, 20 November 2019 (UTC) |
