Publishing drafts

When moving a draft to Mainspace, please make sure to perform proper clean up, including adding proper categories and tagging for major issues, at the very least. Please also check that the article title is correctly spelled and formatted in accordance with the WP:Article titles guideline. For drafts created under the Articles for Creation process, you should follow these manual reviewing instructions. While there's no actual proscription against any editor manually publishing a draft, some do frown upon relatively new editors doing so, so please make absolutely sure you know what you're doing. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:18, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and a belated welcome to Wikipedia. Below is a standard welcome message with links to some useful pointers. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:21, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, @Paul 012, but I sometimes can’t follow the rules. The AFC reviewers are not fair; they seem to know these articles are clearly notable, yet I have seen them reject many without checking the sources. This could lead to a significant loss of Thai articles, and after six months, these draft articles are deleted and will be forgotten. Thanks for your welcome. ManoiCMU (talk) 03:06, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wholly understand how frustrating it is that a lot of AFC reviewers tend to decline articles about clearly notable subjects just because of minor shortcomings. Of course, any editor in good standing is well within their rights to move a draft to Mainspace, whether or not they are registered as an AfC reviewer. What I'm asking of you is to take proper care in adding categories and checking for issues. You haven't categorised any of the articles you recently moved from draft. I can help if you need, but I would like to see that you're also able to do so yourself. --Paul_012 (talk) 13:17, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much... I'll try. ManoiCMU (talk) 13:48, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Paul 012, I just plan to work on deleted or expired Thai draft articles. Could you please help me find expired or rejected drafts from the Thai project? I would like to save them from being lost. Thank you! ManoiCMU (talk) 03:25, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For current drafts tagged with the WikiProject, including inactive/declined ones, you'll find their talk pages at Category:Draft-Class Thailand articles. For deleted drafts, there isn't really a proper logging system, but there are two ways to find them: You could look in the history of WP:WikiProject Thailand/Article alerts, which logs AfC submissions and accept/decline results under the "Articles for creation" section. Or you could check the history of the assessment log at WP:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Thailand articles by quality log, where deleted drafts and other pages will be logged as "Removed" under their respective dates.

However, there's no way for non-admins to see the contents of a deleted page, unless it's restored first. For drafts deleted under G13 (after being inactive for six months), this can be requested at WP:Requests for undeletion/G13. --Paul_012 (talk) 06:45, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

October 2024

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you created or have recently made significant changes to, Saman Kunan, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for pages, so it has been blanked and redirected. Three typical reasons for this are that: (1) the article's subject appears to fail our notability guidelines; (2) the article is unsourced; or (3) the sources used in the article are unreliable. The page's history is preserved and it is possible to restore the article: If you believe that this page should remain included on Wikipedia or that this action was taken in error, then you may revert the edit that blanked and redirected the page.

Wikipedia:Your first article has more information about creating articles, and you may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:44, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Voorts Stop talking. If you disagree, kindly nominate the article for deletion. The last AfD was many years ago, and the subject is now different. If you continue or refuse to initiate an AfD, I will bring this case to ANI for putting undue weight on me. Thanks. ManoiCMU (talk) 02:58, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ManoiCMU: This is a standard notice that is provided after blanking and redirecting a page, which is an allowed alternative to deletion. I am not putting weight on you to do anything. Please assume good faith and do not threaten to take people to AN/I for no reason. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:09, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've started an AfD discussion. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:18, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The last AfD lacked interest from Thai-speaking editors because there are very few, but now you can't manipulate AfD results as you please. Please do not accuse others of "maniuplat[ing] AfD results". voorts (talk/contributions) 03:32, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

555555... ManoiCMU (talk) 03:36, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have also nominated an article you recently moved from draft for re-draftification: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marisa Chearavanont. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:54, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems this is a resurgence of resentment from our previous conflict, rather than a professional approach. You are, of course, free to nominate articles for deletion if you disagree with their notability, but please be careful during the argument process. ManoiCMU (talk) 03:58, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Manoi, I am not nominating articles for deletion based on my personal feelings. I reviewed your other contributions after our initial interaction and disagree with your conclusion that Marisa Chearavanont is ready to be published to the mainspace. AfD is the appropriate forum for discussing that disagreement. I would appreciate if you would strike your aspersions here and in the AfD discussion. voorts (talk/contributions) 04:11, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions

As mentioned yesterday at Talk:Khuang Singh Monument, I will give suggestions for more articles here on your talk page.

• Wat Ton Kwen (th:วัดต้นเกว๋น on Thai Wikipedia), that has a different official name. There are many images on Commons available.

November 2025

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to The Thaiger when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 19:45, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wat phra kru

Hello ManoiCMU,

On a recent flight, just after take-off I made a few photo's of Chiang Mai from the plane. After taking a close look at one of them, I saw a temple I didn't know about. With Google maps I found it too, see here. With the Google Earth program I can see the same image, but also from earlier times. Looking back in time: in April 2021 it was being build, and in November 2022 a tower shaped chedi was being build. A found a photo of the place too, as well as the name Wat phra kru. Do you know more about this temple? --FredTC (talk) 09:35, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply @FredTC, Chiang Mai is quite busy with the festival right now 55555, and I forgot to spend time on Wikipedia. Yes, this temple is near the medical school, but I haven’t had the chance to visit it even once. I thought it was a modern small monastery, but the sources I found state that it was an ancient temple that had long been abandoned and was recently restored. If you’re interested, you can read more here [1], and [2]. ManoiCMU (talk) 17:06, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information, specially the video's. In mean time I visited the place and made photo's of which I uploaded 9 photo's (in Category:Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai having names starting with "Wat Phra Kru"). --FredTC (talk) 01:47, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks too.... I hope you enjoy in our Yi Peng festival (newly created article). Cheers ManoiCMU (talk) 11:02, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The_Thaiger

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The_Thaiger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Proposed deletion of The Thaiger

The article The Thaiger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

duplicate of previous deleted article Phuket_Gazette which looks to be SEO spam submitted by ManoiCMU without community input, suspected violation of WP:PAID

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Plmoin2514 (talk) 12:07, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of The_Thaiger for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The_Thaiger, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Thaiger until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
