Thank you for noticing the dhammakaya entry's neutrality issues, I was unsure on how to bring that up since I'm new to editing Wikipedia. I just figured I'd link some relevant legitimate media sources at the bottom to spur notice. Quincetessence 04:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Someone keeps changing the Dhammakaya entry and deleting my links without providing reasons to do so in the talk page. I have mentioned it on the talk page, but do you know of any way to discourage this behavior? Quincetessence 22:51, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the information on the Thai senate! AxelBoldt 17:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
การทำหน้าที่อีดิทข้อความเรื่องธรรมกายต้องไม่มีอคติในการทำหน้าที่นะครับ และเท่าที่ติดตามพฤติกรรมคุณเห้นว่าผิดจรรยาบรรณอย่างมากมาย คุณไม่ควรทำตัวเช่นนั้น เพราะมันจะกลายเป้นว่าคุณกำลังอาศัยความเป้นเจ้าหน้าที่อาสาสมัครที่มีมลทินในการทำหน้าที่ หากคุณขยันหาลิงคืมาใส่ คุณก็ไม่ควรหาแต่ที่เขาเขียนโจมตีวัดด้วยความชั่วร้ายของสื่อบางสำนัก หากคุณยังทำตัวอย่างนี้อีกเห้นทีคงต้องแจ้งไปยังผู้รับผิดชอบให้ตัดคุรออกจากทีมงานอีดิทแล้วหละ

Hi again. I notice you got a message from an anonymous user as well. Despite being fully fluent in Thai, my literacy is kind of weak, I was wondering if you can help me read and translate the text on both your talk page and my talk page? I get that it's asking why I'm editing, but I'm having trouble reading the rest of it.Quincetessence 18:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thai monarchy
Sawatdeekrab Paul - I am pleased to discover a Thai wikipedian who is also a native English speaker. I am an Australian historian who comes to Thailand regularly and I have written a number of articles on Thai topics, including most of the content of History of Thailand. Being here just after the royal jubilee has made me think and read more about the Thai monarchy, and I have been visting some royal sites here in Bangkok this week. (see my photos here.) I have also been reading Ka F Wong's Visions of a Nation and using it as a guidebook to royal statuary. I have now visited Rama I at the Rama I Bridge, the equestrian Rama V at Royal Plaza, the gold Rama IV at Wat Bowonivet and Rama VIII at Wat Suthat. I had already visited Rama VI in Lumphini Park and Rama VII at the National Assembly. Still on my list is King Taksin's statue over the river. All of these statues are being actively worshipped - vis this photo of a woman praying in front of Rama V. I presume (correct me if I'm wrong), that Thais do not worship the kings literally as gods, but rather in the same way they worship Buddha, as a hypostasis: a representation which possesses supernatural qualities and through which they can communicate with the supernatural world. I am thinking of an article on the Cult of Thai Royalty, discussing both its religious and political dimension, and examining to what extent the royal cult has been deliberately manufactured by earlier regimes to bolster their own legitimacy. I was very struck by the absence of the monarchy from the iconography at the Democracy Monument (also my article). This is my thesis: Phibun's objective was to promote a cult of the military as the embodiment of the nation and guardians of democracy. The royal cult seems to have been a product of the Sarit-Thanom years, and no doubt it served its purpose at that time. But since 1973, and particularly since 1992, the military has totally lost credibility in that regard, and the royal cult that they themselves created has overtaken them, so that the monarchy has now come to be seen as the repository of national virtue and the protector of democracy - hence the anti-Thaksin forces wrapping themselves literally in the royal banner. This may also explain the Crown Prince's unpopularity - he is seen as a professional soldier rather than as royalty. Your comments welcome. (I am here until Sunday by the way.)

Why is that? --HAH 09:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
- Apparently User:Jarcje has uploaded multiple images, none of which he cares to clarify the authorship that he claims. Some of them are obvious copyright violations, and the meta info of many indicate that they were taken with many cameras indeed. I suspect he may not be thoroughly honest with the license tags.
