 * Symbol confirmed.svg Newly promoted, definitely long enough, all hooks verified. QPQ done. Good to go. Personal preference for Alt2 or Alt0 over Alt1, which doesn't seem as interesting or directly related to the temple. I have a few comments which I'll leave on the talk page. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:06, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg I have pulled this from prep 5 because the article appears to have substantial linkrot on the Thai links. Gatoclass (talk) 12:46, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Gatoclass, I've removed the links. Those were all offline sources, and the links were to a content deliverer, so they aren't essential. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
