Article requests : Check out the article alerts; see if anything catches your fancy.
Cleanup : clean-up listing for Countries
Stubs : de-stub articles in Category:Stubs by region.
Other : add {{WPCountries}} to talk pages of related articles, and assess.

History rewrite

I suggest rewriting the History section (but feel free to replace with a more appropriate template).

Newer additions seem to focus too much on genetic studies. Some of the text is more appropriate to be incorporated to Demographic article. The concept of intermixing of various ethnic groups is worth mentioning though.
Regarding initial kingdoms in present-day Thailand, they should be clearly stated if which ones are considered legend, possible truth, or established truth. Legendary states should be mention only briefly.
Please make sure it is chronological and not mentioning the same thing twice. I don't mind if my contribution is adjusted for newer additions.

Fully protected edit request on 1 September 2024

This edit request to Siam has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

A protected redirect, Siam, needs redirect category (rcat) templates added. Please modify it as follows:

from this:

#REDIRECT [[Thailand]]

to this:

#REDIRECT [[Thailand]]

{{Redirect category shell|
{{R from move}}
{{R from former name}}
{{R mentioned in hatnote}}
{{R printworthy}}
}}

WHEN YOU COPY & PASTE, PLEASE LEAVE THE SKIPPED LINE BLANK FOR READABILITY.

The {{Redirect category shell}} template is used to sort redirects into one or more categories. When {{pp-protected}} and/or {{pp-move}} suffice, the Redirect category shell template will detect the protection level(s) and categorize the redirect automatically. (Also, the categories will be automatically removed or changed when and if protection is lifted, raised or lowered.) Thank you in advance! P.I.

Done — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:05, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BD2412 this has been fully protected for more than 10 years. Would you like to lift the protection now? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:07, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ: It appears that it is actually only S-protected for editing. It is fully move-protected, but obviously there's no reason to be moving the page. I think this is probably the right setup for a page of this scope. BD2412 T 23:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MSGJ was likely referring to the redirect page Siam, which does appear to be fully edit-protected. --Paul_012 (talk) 00:12, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Well of course, why wouldn't it be? Redirects bear a lot less in the way of editing than articles. BD2412 T 00:14, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why wouldn't it be? Because we have a protection policy that says pages should only be protected when necessary. So if you don't mind I will try lifting the protection after 11 years in the hope that disruption will not continue — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes indeed, sorry for not making this clearer — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:51, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
