The reason I removed "and will stay in power until the succession has been completed" is because it's unclear what it means. What succession? New elections? New Prime Minister? New King? Can you clarify this, otherwise it will need removing. Cheers, Number 57 22:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Number 57: Oh man, it is a long story. Thai king is probably the most influential person in Thai politics. Recently he is terribly ill and the royal succession is imminent. One reason for the 2014 Thai coup d'état is the royal succession (although not officially, of course). The sentence "and will stay in power until the succession has been completed" thus explain why the military junta "crave" to stay in power in this particular moment. And if you have any objections, please notice that even BBC, a secondary source, mention this, so you should not just delete it. --Horus (talk) 13:11, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You reverted my deletion of this paragraph. Fair enough, but could you explain the presence of this paragraph? I said it was a non sequitur, because it seems to add nothing to the general discussion and seems to be at odds with the reality that lese majeste sentences are generally harsh. I am still inclined to removing the para unless you convince me otherwise. Seligne (talk) 04:57, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Seligne: Lese majeste is indeed harsh but also ridiculous. The paragraph does show that on top of punishment written in the Criminal Code, the court also use punishment beyond the law, which was writing a song in this case. I think this has the same significance as the case of attempting to lese majeste is punishable by law even if it could not be found in the code. --Horus (talk) 09:19, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Something here does not add up. You say that courts use punishment "beyond the law". That is undoubtedly true. But the para you added says that "A judge in a lèse majesté case, which a man was sentenced to seven years and six months in prison, said he would have given a longer sentence, but was advised on the shorter term by the court's deputy president." That means the judge used his power, albeit on the advice of another, to lessen a sentence, not increase it. A result that refutes your argument. I am going to eliminate this para. If it confuses me, it will confuse others. Seligne (talk) 14:02, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How is that? Do you know the punishment allowed under Thai Criminal Code? The harsh part is not the issue here. The issue of the paragraph is the ridiculous part where judge can order anything beyond the law. --Horus (talk) 19:45, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Horus I saw you asked a question earlier that I didn't answer. Here at English Wikipedia I placed a maintenance tag on all the I Can See Your Voice Thailand specifically the

The way I decided to handle these articles was to place the maintenance tag first in hopes other editors would see it and help correct the issue. I don't speak Thai and I have a hard time trying to find sources in another langue than English. If I personally don't see any improvement after six months I'll revisit the articles and either redirect the season articles to the parent article or send them through the articles for deletion process. Now if another editor sees these articles and thinks the best course of action would be to delete them that editor can start the articles for deletion process at anytime.

This is the 2019 Freedom House report. Thailand gets an infobox! Johncdraper (talk) 12:03, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Horus, I really appreciate the work you're putting into the article on the

@Jr8825: As per the quote, I understand your reasoning and I will no longer edit "use of deadly force", but I think adding "tyrant" (with quotation marks) quality from the protesters' viewpoint does not overly biased when a right-wing viewpoint is inserted at the end of the paragraph. And as for "severe state of emergency", there are two reasons for it. Firstly, the state of emergency (non-severe one) was in force since March, so to say it is enforced only a few days ago was factually incorrect. Secondly, the term is legal terminology; the media did not made this up. Regards, --Horus (talk) 19:03, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For the section header, I suggest paraphrasing for clarity (i.e. "New state of emergency" or "Strengthened emergency powers"), or if you feel those don't communicate the meaning clearly enough, then quote marks should be used at the very least: "Severe" state of emergency/"Severe State of Emergency". I think the article needs to explain there was already an existing, weaker state of emergency, as it doesn't do so at the moment and this is quite important in explaining why it's called severe. Perhaps this information belongs in the section on the first wave of protests as well. Readers who are unfamiliar with the issue might presume it's editorialising on Wikipedia's part without this. I disagree with you about the inclusion of 'tyrant' – it isn't particularly notable that groups protesting against an authoritarian government are calling it tyrannical, and this is a good example of where we need to follow an impartial tone. Perhaps you can say that the protesters were "outraged" if you want to convey the strength of feeling (Khaosod's phrasing, I didn't add this myself as I wasn't sure if other outlets used the same language, if they do then there's a stronger case for using this language). I don't want to get involved in an edit war with you, but I encourage you to think about whether including 'tyrant' adds anything to the information or is likely to make a reader think any differently about the issue, given that they'll have read the rest of article by that point anyway. It's not so much about bias as about balanced tone – would it really be biased if 'tyrant' is excluded? On top of this, I don't think it follows the

WP:IMPARTIAL policy, as I said above. Jr8825 • Talk 19:33, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply

]

Your paraphrased section heading is nice and would not need an explanation in detail. As for the "tyrant" quote, I would like to raise examples of many politics-related Wikipedia articles, which include text along the line of A said this, and B said that. This is not editorializing Wikipedia, as the text itself state who said it. It's a narration of a viewpoint, not summation of the undeniable truth. --Horus (talk) 19:39, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll defer to your judgement on this, as you're more familiar with the topic. Thanks for making the adjustment to the header. If I can find the time later I'll try to give the article a proper read through to see if there any issues with phrasing/contextual information that can be improved.
