Individual train station articles

Hi. I've seen that you've created quite a few articles on Skytrain stations, but to me many of them don't seem to warrant individual articles. Most of these stations were fairly recently constructed, and there's basically nothing much of note to be said about them. The problem is that they might not meet the Notability guidelines, and probably should only be mentioned in the main article for the system. Articles on future stations should be avoided, since Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. You may also want to take a look at this essay on Wikipedia:Notability (Railway lines and stations). --Paul_012 ^(talk) 07:17, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BTS inconsistencies

You are right, the official BTS boards have "Ekkamai" on the station. I noticed it yesterday when I checked. Please forgive my mistake. I was confused.

The pronunciation of เอกมัย in Thai, however, is not 'ek-ka-mai', for in Thai language the sound "k" is never doubled. The correct pronunciation in Thai is 'ē-kamāi. Notice that there are no two ko-kai (ก) on the word, a feature absent in the Thai language. The word เอกมัย according to the Royal Thai General System of Transcription should be correctly transliterated as "Ekamai" and is increasingly used as such (it gets 215,000 hits in Google). Examples: Ekamai International School, Ekamai appartments, Ekamai Shopping Mall, etc.

The spelling "Ekkamai" (51,900 hits in Google) is a freak remnant of the now obsolete English-based transliteration system of Thai. I don't know wy BTS uses it. For the next station, "Thong Lo" (ทองหล่อ), BTS used the name based on the Royal Thai General System of Transcription, instead of the obsolete "Thong Lor" or "Tonglor".

That is what made me confused. I am used just to hear the word spoken in Thai, so I had to actually go to the skytrain station and see it for myself to realize how the name is spelt by BTS in the Latin script. Xufanc (talk) 00:38, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use images and train articles

Hi. I noticed in this edit that you added a number of non-free images to the table outlining the blue line. Please note that such iconization of non-free images isn't supportable under WP:NFCC. Further, repeated use of the images in the same article isn't readily supportable either. Lastly, the use of non-free images in such tables is discouraged by WP:NFG. Less importantly in this case, all uses of a non-free image must be supported by a non-free rationale. This is codified in #10c of the previously mentioned WP:NFCC policy. The usage you want to make would not be supported, so it's a moot point but just for future reference if you want to use a non-free image, you have to include a fair use rationale for each use. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:14, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
