Prachantakhiri Khet Province

Could someone take a look at the newly created but almost entirely unsourced Prachantakhiri Khet Province? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:31, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

It's poorly translated from an original that's rather unfocused and overlaps content better covered elsewhere, but the topic is easily verifiable. There don't seem to be many sources that make in-depth mention beyond a historical footnote, though, so at best, with the irrelevant content trimmed out, this would be a two-paragraph perma-stub. I've renamed the article to Prachan Khiri Khet, which reflects the intended pronunciation and the fact that it wasn't actually a province, as its existence predated the provincial administration system. --Paul_012 (talk) 01:17, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Populations and other demographics

Is there a reasonably recent RS for Thai populations? All the best: Rich Farmbrough 12:17, 13 February 2025 (UTC).

The overdue national census was supposed to take place in 2020, but was called off due to the pandemic. It's now scheduled to begin this April. Other than the census, the only available figures that aren't estimates are from the population registry, which does not reflect actual residency due to internal migration. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:41, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

Sai Yok Noi Waterfall

I just discovered Sai Yok Noi Waterfall and Sai Yok Noi Waterfalls. Are they the same thing and thus need merging or are they two separate things. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 03:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Same thing needing merging. The creator appears to be a new account unfamiliar with Wikipedia's workings. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:25, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

OK. that's what I thought. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 16:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

The DCWC is back!

The Developing Countries WikiContest Gold Belt Buckle

WikiProject Thailand, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page, use the {{@DCWC coordinators}} template, or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Chaiya railway station

Can somebody please translate the Thai language article into English? Thank you in advance. Bearian (talk) 01:33, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

There currently isn't an article about the station on the Thai Wikipedia, as the linked page redirects to the equivalent of List of Southern Line (Thailand) stations. Expansion will probably have to come from elsewhere. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:55, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

On surnames and nicknames

Hello everyone! I have been cleaning up a bit of the Thai biographies and I just want to ask something about surnames and nicknames. I know the Thai naming convention is first name + surname and public figures usually have a nickname. I just noticed that instead of being referred to by their surnames in the page's body, a lot of the biographies refer to them by their nicknames. Even biographies by politicians refer to them by their first names / nicknames in the bodies which is unlike the convention (i.e. surname) used in biographies. Is there a special rule about Thai bios regarding this? Kuragehime ଳ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ 06:03, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
