Thai Royal Family's Standards

Hello,

Thanks for uploading all those pictures! There is quite a lot of them I don't think I can do them all at once maybe about one-by-one?. Or maybe just the important ones, for example: the Crown Prince, Princess Sirindhorn, Princess Chulabhorn, the late Princess Galyani and Somdet Ya? But which ever way I will do them eventually- just very very slowly! if you don't mind that. Sodacan (talk) 04:52, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Wan Waithayakon

Hi,

I saw that you remained the article Wan Waithayakon. I am actually trying to sort out this person's actual given name/title(s). According to you, Vanna Vaidhayakara was his given name ? What were Naradhip Bhongseprabhan, Waiwaidhayakara and Wan Waithayakon. My knowledge of thai noble titles is next to nil, and I'm trying to improve that a little. (my actual goal being to improve the French article on this person). About the name change : the United Nations' website lists his name as Wan Waithayakon, so what is the deal with Vanna Vaidhayakara ? This name gives almost no results on google, while Wan Waithayakon seems pretty established. Are you sure this change of name isn't being confusing ? Thanks Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 15:49, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. Regardless of the article's title, I think it should specify that he was known in the west as Wan Waithayakon (that name is pretty official, as it is used in a professional capacity, i.e. at the United Nations), and specify the exact origin of this name + why and how it was used. Also, what is exactly Waiwaidhayakara ? A nickname ? Thanks for informing ignorant westerners like me. ;) (no irony, I'm just trying to understand) Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 16:41, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for all your info. I'll correct the French article and will just add that he was known in the West as Wan Waithayakon, in order to avoid any confusion (while letting you correct and add all the specifications as how this name was coined and when it was used.) Also, I wonder if the article shouldn't keep being titled Wan Waithayakon, since this is the name he used internationally and was known under ? The Plaek Pibulsonggram article is not titled Pibun Songkhram or Plaek Khittasangkha. Best, Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 17:20, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm just wondering about the title, however. If Wan Waithayakon is the name by which he was known (and indeed a google search shows many results, while another with "Vanna Vaidhayakara"... shows only this article !), the current title is going to be confusing to readers. IMHO, if he was known by that name (it even appears on his autographed photo in the article, so he used it himself), the intro should say something like Wan Waithayakon [explain origin of the name here], born Vanna Vaidhayakara.... and "Wan Waithayakon" would be less misleading as a title. best regards, Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Intavaroros Suriyavongse of Chiang Mai

Sorry to have changed the name of the article from Intavaroros Suriyavongse of Chiang Mai to just Intavaroros Suriyavongse but there is no need for the subject after the name in this case. This is because all Thai names are unique even for royalty and cannot be easily confused unlike George I of: Great Britain, Greece, Georgia, Russia, Bulgaria, and so on and on. In fact it is more of an honour to be known just by the name alone without the full dignities and titles (in English that is, unlike in Thai (where the longer the name the better)). For example Alexander the Great is known world wide, as oppose to "Alexander III of Macedon, Hegemon of the Hellenic League, Shahanshah of Persia, Pharaoh of Egypt and King of Asia".

HH Prince Sukhumabhinanda

You listed HH Prince Sukhumabhinanda as Knight Cross of the Most Illustrious Order of Chula Chom Klao and the ribbon image is that of a Knight Grand Cordon of the Most Illustrious Order of Chula Chom Klao. I am not sure whether you meant for him to be listed as a Knight Grand Cordon or a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Illustrious Order of Chula Chom Klao. If he was a Knight Grand Cordon, then only the title needs to be adjusted. If a Knight Grand Cross, then both the title and ribbon image need to be adjusted. Can you advise on his correct grade?
