Embassy of the United Kingdom, Bangkok

 * ... that the British Government is selling off its embassy in Bangkok (pictured), in what will be Thailand's priciest real estate deal ever? Confirmation of the sale in the Nation source. The "priciest ever" fact is supported by the Post Today source, which is in Thai and behind a paywall.

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article is new and long enough. It meets policy on neutrality and plagiarism, but falls short on sourcing due to several unsourced paragraphs and statements, particularly in the history section. The hook is short, interesting, and cited in-line to a foreign language source (which needs to be marked as such in the reference). QPQ has been completed. Image is properly licensed and is very clear at thumbnail size.  Sounder Bruce  19:44, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Every paragraph in the History section is already cited to the embassy website. Which statements in particular do you find potentially controversial enough to require further in-line citations? --Paul_012 (talk) 13:05, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * If a citation covers an entire paragraph of statements, then it should be placed at the end of the paragraph. Otherwise, readers will infer that the statements that aren't followed by an in-line citation are not cited.  Sounder Bruce  22:05, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Done as requested, though I don't believe that was entirely necessary, as WP:Verifiability explicitly requires inline citations only for material that is likely to be challenged. I realise, though, that the trend at DYK over the past several years has been toward stringency, so I understand where you're coming from. --Paul_012 (talk) 10:10, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
