[edit] Who, what, where and when

I'm an American, a farang, living in Bangkok since 2001. If you need to talk to me offline, you can e-mail me at wisekwai at gmail dot com.

[edit] Interests

Many, including Thai film and other Southeast Asian and Asian cinema.

[edit] Technical knowledge

Newspaper copy editing, meatball surgery.

[edit] Projects

[edit] Ongoing

Cinema of Thailand – I continue to work on articles about Thai films, directors and actors/actresses.
Southeast Asian cinema task force
Film festivals task force
~~Portal:Current events/Southeast Asia~~

[edit] To do

[edit] Merge and split holding pen

I participate actively in mergers and splits. This is where I try to keep track of them.

Merge: Women in Indian film into List of Indian film actresses

[edit] Soundtrack chronologies

I think it is useful to link, in chronological order, the soundtrack sections or soundtrack articles of films by director. What follows are some chronologies I would like to fill in:

Danny Boyle films.
Cameron Crowe films.
Kevin Smith films.
Steven Soderbergh films (by way of David Holmes).

[edit] Good and featured articles

Kung Fu Hustle (small supporting role)
List of recordings preserved in the United States National Recording Registry (just the 2006 section)
Hot Fuzz (soundtrack section)
2006 Bangkok bombings
Tears of the Black Tiger
The Last Waltz
The Blues Brothers (film) (Cinema Collaboration of the Week)

[edit] Other

{{Replaceable fair use disputed}} – Copyrighted photos (such as {{promophoto}}) that are used to illustrate articles about living persons are not fair use. I uploaded quite a few copyrighted photos and included them in articles and had to deal with that. It was a harsh lesson. After a flurry of deletions and a dispute or two, this situation seems to have died down. More information can be found here:
Cat:Thai film images – I made sure all these had fair-use rationales. Again, if they are promophotos of living people, the use is no longer fair use. In searching for good fair-use rationales, I've found that by looking at the Featured Articles will provide a link to a comparable use of an image that has one. If the image was used on the Main Page, the fair-use rationale had to be ironclad. All images I upload automatically get a fair-use rationale.
Cat:Redirects – Until recently, I didn't know that redirect pages need to be categorized. So I've been chipping away at some of the many redirect pages I've made and make sure any redirect I create is categorized.

[edit] Past

{{Yuthlert Sippapak}} – With the exception of Killer Tattoo, I've started articles about all the films he's released so far.
{{Lone Wolf and Cub}} – Started articles on the film series.
Portal:Thailand – No longer under construction, it's looking pretty cool. And I didn't have a thing to do with it. But I make contributions to it from time to time.
{{Thailand-bio-stub}} – Created and populated with bios that were in {{Thailand-stub}}.

[edit] Wish list

I'm interested in developing articles about:

Film soundtracks - Adding soundtrack sections to film articles, or expanding on stand-alone film soundtrack articles, and adding chronological links for the directors, from film to film.
Shaw Brothers Studio and Cat:Shaw Studio – I am slowly starting to get into the articles about Shaw Brothers films, directors and actors. I'd like to see the standards brought up, and made, well, standard. Perhaps a separate project is needed?
Shake! Otis at Monterey – An article about a great short concert film that I'd like to expand.
Transportation in Thailand, particularly public transportation like buses (especially Bangkok city buses), taxicabs, motorcycle taxis (but not tuk-tuks) and waterways such as Khlong Saen Saeb and the Chao Phraya River. Plans include getting more photos of Bangkok buses and interesting examples of Bangkok taxicabs, as well as Saen Saeb canal boats and Chao Phraya Express.
Media of Southeast Asia series – I wonder if it's possible to create a "Media of" article on every Southeast Asian country, based on Media of Thailand.
Cat:Companies of Thailand – The Stock Exchange of Thailand listings are a gold mine of information, just waiting to be used as references for articles about Thai companies.
