Talk:Finland Plot

Phra Phrom Erawan shrine
Totally no offence, I don't understand why User:Patiwat tried to put the Phra Phrom Erawan shrine incident into every single articles of Thailand political crisis. I saw someone removed in other articles. It's not related in anyway, it's just metaphor.

 * What does this have to do with the Finland Plot? Patiwat 08:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * That exactly the question I asked ???--Manop - TH 16:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * See the top of the page: "This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Finland Plot article." I have answered your question on your Discussion page.  Patiwat 07:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)


 * ANSWER: Because it's that writer's strategy (who spend thousands of edits on Thaksin's article) to discredit all of Thaksin's political opponent by adding the Erawan shrine incident that was accused against him, in which it is the single most incident that sounds rediculous and nonsense (especially to foreigners that have no prior understanding of Thai cultures and believes) that the incident, in reverse, made Thaksin's image looks better. For more examples, look in Abhisit's talk page. I found and corrected some distorted facts (like the human right statement), but I don't know what (if any) more tricks are there).  --Donny TH (talk) 01:13, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Article length
This article is currently 19 KB in size. I don't see it expanding beyond the 25 KB ceiling where it might be a FAC. Patiwat 18:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

GA nom: on hold
This is a strong article, but I'm going to put it on hold for the moment -- the "Background" section needs some references. I'm sure editors can just steal them from the relevant articles. This article is a good example of a topic that's not big enough to become a FA, but is a good article nonetheless. Twinxor t 06:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestions. I have added references to back up each clause in the Background section. Patiwat 05:53, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The refs look pretty good. It would be nice if the school decentralization and Erwan links (the fourth and fifth ones) had a normal citation like the other references on the page -- as is they just show up like, which is not very helpful to a reader. I'm also a little confused about the comments in the page source, which are not seen by people who are just reading the article and not editing it. If you want to alert the reader to which link is for which item, maybe the citations could be placed within the sentence rather than after it. Twinxor t 08:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your great suggestions. I changed the citation format for the two references you mentioned.  I also removed the comments - the order of the footnotes and the information contained therein should be sufficient to guide a researcher as to which sources to use.

Heading Change
Regarding the quote "The Nation noted that the actual existence of the Plot was not important - the mere invocation of the royalty would be enough..." I can't help thinking that the same is also true of this and several other related articles. To help reduce any possible mis-inferences I believe the sub-heading "The Finland Plot" should be changed to "The Alleged Plot". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.10.198.154 (talk) 05:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Relevancy for Wikiproject Finland?
Is this article realy relevant for Finland? Finland or finnish doesn't seem to have much to do with subject, other than name and that it was planned or said to be planned here. --82.203.181.186 (talk) 04:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You're right, changed to Low-importance. ☺    Spiby    ☻  09:52, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Info to add?
I think it should include a court case and an investigation too? This article doesn't mention about the end of this story. --223.206.212.27 (talk) 04:48, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Repeated addition of Finland-related categories
Unless someone can demonstrate (WP:BURDEN) that the topic of the article has any relevance to Finnish politics/society/history in general or Finland in the year 1999 in particular, the categories are not backed up by article content and should not be included. 2001:999:251:5175:D82E:2E8B:FFF0:50B0 (talk) 17:38, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
