[edit] Disputed

Upon inspection, the List of rulers of Ayutthaya section seems to contradict with most Thai sources. This revision from a few years back, just before information from Wyatt's was incorporated, seems to agree with those Thai sources, including the Thai Wikipedia. Paul_012 ^(talk) 07:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

However I don't think that Wyatt made up his version of the list without solid foundations. Given that there are various versions of the Royal Chronicles, each copy to new palm leaves could insert errors, or invited later kings to "correct" the history a bit, and many lost in the sack of Ayutthaya by the Burmese, it's no wonder that different scholars come to different lists. It might make sense to work out the most striking differences between Wyatt's list and the traditional Thai lists. To find the actual reason for the difference would mean to search in the journals for publications of Wyatt and other scholars in Thai studies, and would be IMHO beyond the scope of this article. andy (talk) 12:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project India?

Quoted from Project India's page: "The India WikiProject is group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the Republic of India and the history of the Indian subcontinent." Therefore, the link to Project India has been removed.

[edit] Wiki vandals

This revision is vandalism. 16:07, 26 February 2007 205.222.248.109. Random word changes from previous version.

[edit] Other Subsection Under History

I am deleting the "Other" subsection under "History". The information contained there in is either irrelevant (the story about the Korean princess visiting the city of Ayodhya in India, not Ayutthaya in Thailand) or already stated (Ayodhya as the source of Ayutthaya's name). --Harel Newman 03:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
