Politicians and Heads of State[edit]

  • African Politicians: Pan-African Parliament; List of Members pap (Africa-Union.org); East Africa @ UPenn and Africa Review
  • Country Profiles: BBC Country Profiles and Countries of the World
  • Generals and Politicians of the People's Republic of China: [1]. Princeton's East Asia library says of this site: "China Vitae is a foundation-supported activity whose objective is to provide current information on China 's leaders to scholars, analysts, and the general public. It consists of an English language database containing detailed biographies of thousands of Chinese leaders. Free of commercials, pop ups, and banners, the database is highly searchable, using state-of-the-art tools to find officials by name, institution, or location. A special comparison engine allows users to identify similarities in the backgrounds of officials. Another search tool tracks daily appearances of the most important officials. [2].
  • Chinese Military: "The People's Liberation Army as Organization: Reference Volume v1.0. RAND", -- just google some of these words with your search terms, RAND has put the book on line as PDF chapters, e.g. [3]
  • Ontario politicians
  • Europa With biographical profile of every Member of the European Parliment, past/present
  • Iraq: Members of the Council of Representatives Elections 2005

Sports[edit]

Thai Footballers[edit]

  • If the player's article on wikipedia includes its Thai spelling, it is sometimes possible to find a thai news article (Siamsport seems to be a primary news source covering Thai football) which identifies them as a player on the team, which will provide one bare source to verify their existence. Also, if you look at the wikipedia article on the team the player is currently attached to, it should link to the team's website, which should include a player roster. Pay attention to the the player's assigned jersey number listed on wikipedia, and you may be able to match it up to the player even if the Thai spelling is not listed on wikipedia. Also note that when you use Google translate to translate Thai player rosters you seem to get some odd literal translations, e.g., Nantawet Chanuthai, who is "นันธเวศ จันทร์อุทัย", translates to "Anan H U Wet Monday" on Google translate, so beware of that quirk.
  • This one came up in an AfD discussion, perhaps it will work? thaipremierleague.co.th --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 17:01, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've just found thai-fussball.de which, although probably doesn't strictly fit the RS bill, is edited by a Thai football enthusiast and contributor to de.wikipedia. At the least it can help establish whether a player exists and is currently playing for the team mentioned in our article.--Plad2 (talk) 09:27, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
