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)

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)


 * 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)
 * 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)
 * 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)
