Thai sources[edit]

Added them. Thanks for using talk page instead of article page when the {{editing}} template was being used. --User:Anonymous101 (I would prefer it if you replied via the email link) 10:18, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
MCOT is the government's official news agency, so if they say PPP can form a government it - to some extent - contradicts where the article says the junta may not allow this. I've not read all the sources you've used, can you point me to who specifies that? --Brian McNeil / talk 10:32, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The BBC did when the story broke although they have now removed that. --User:Anonymous101 (Talk) 12:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

source template[edit]

Why change the source templates back to single line? It may be what the javascript inserts but it is a lot harder to read and edit them like that. --Brian McNeil / talk 10:35, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was as a result of me trying to manage a period of edit conflicts. I did not know or intend for the source templates to be changed --User:Anonymous101 (Talk) 12:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, had a couple of edit conflicts myself. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

related overload[edit]

that is a lot of related news items; would an infobox be better? --SVTCobra 12:40, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered about that, we could probably do with a related, but one manually maintained. The issue is we do have a lot of background, and what I listed is a small selection of our coverage of the issue. There are WN stories prior to these which show how (as I understand it) Thaksin used the law to try and silence his critics and it backfired to the extent that he was deposed while at the UN in NY. --Brian McNeil / talk 12:47, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Nearly a year later, and I still say overload. Archiving nonetheless. --SVTCobra 03:40, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
