Pen-Ek Ratanaruang → Pen-ek Ratanaruang – The subject's first name is one word in Thai, and the hyphen serves only to show the syllable split. Capitalisation in sources appears quite mixed. In this case, I suggest we should follow the more grammatically correct form. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:14, 26 November 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. SITH (talk) 14:52, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply

Use of first name

Isn't his surname Ratanaruang? (That is how the List of Thai Directors lists him.) If so, why is he referred to as "Pen-ek" throughout? AnthroMimus (talk) 21:49, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I like the fact that after a formal Wiki conclave was invoked as to whether it should be "Pen-ek" or "Pen-Ek", the title uses "Pen-ek" and the body uses "Pen-Ek." AnthroMimus (talk) 04:57, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thai people are referred to by given name, per

MOS:GIVENNAME. Thanks for calling to attention the fact that the article hadn't been properly updated after the move. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:21, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply

Many thanks for the info, the quick monitoring of the comments here, but mostly for conforming the List. I use those things as authoritative statements for indexing by name for my own purposes. It is odd to me, nevertheless, that the Bangkok Art Biennale refers to him as Ratanaruang. AnthroMimus (talk) 03:01, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
