Ananda Metteyya Lotus Picture

Good Sir, Glad you liked the lotus image from the Buddhasāsana Samāgama publication "Buddhism: An Illustrated Quarterly Review" on the Ananda Metteyya page. I have worked hard on this article, and hope to be done shortly, it is a gift to mankind, and hope all see the path to enlightment. NirodhaDhamma (talk) 10:10, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NirodhaDhamma, It's a good article! Consider having it reviewed for GA, that'll prevent future vandalism as well.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 19:28, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Editor of the Week

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of your timely assistance. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

User:Alarichall submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:

I nominate Farang Rak Tham to be Editor of the Week. This editor registered about five years ago and in that time has racked up an impressive 15,787 edits to English Wikipedia. I first encountered them when they chose to assess my nomination of Elf as a good article. I was quite clueless about the process, and Farang Rak Tham was extremely thorough and diligent in helping me revise the article to meet the criteria -- and it's a long article, so this was a big task. They have evidently performed this service for at least thirty others, while being willing to fail nominations where appropriate. Correspondingly, I see that although Farang Rak Tham has created only eleven articles, five of these have GA status, and this editor has been instrumental in editing over twenty-four articles to receiving GA status. (There's an incomplete list here, emphasising how many have been translated into other Wikipedias, but I also passed 2017–2020 Thai temple fraud investigations, so there are probably more.) I am particularly impressed and grateful to see that many of Farang Rak Tham's good articles are on complex Buddhist theological topics: these are much more challenging to write well than neatly defined and straightforwardly factual topics like, say, biographies, and moreover have helped considerably to improve English Wikipedia's coverage of Asian culture. Articles like Great Renunciation, Filial piety in Buddhism, Five precepts, and Merit (Buddhism) are truly mighty undertakings. The editor's talk page says 'this user is no longer very active on Wikipedia' -- but they are still making about one edit per day, so this is counting from a high base! I would like to congratulate them on their past achievements, and emphasise how much we will welcome their re-engagement with Wikipedia if they are inclined to at some point in the future. Editor User:Vami_IV seconded this nomination.

Please help me with my article on Gourd mouth organ

Hello there, I'm currently working on expanding the article Gourd mouth organ as a part of my university unit. I can see that you are an expert in Southeast Asian culture, can you please help me improve my article by giving any feedback, advice or assessment? Thank you very much! And hope you have a lovely day. Ryssian (talk) 20:37, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like an excellent article. Do you have any sources you can use additionally?--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 15:23, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

pinging Ryssian--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 20:36, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Farang Rak Tham Thank you! I'm currently trying to find more recent sources for specific regions in SE Asia, but I did notice that a lot of sources are contributed by the same writers. Maybe include more video links? As I think that's the most direct way to show the variations within this instrument. Ryssian (talk) 01:56, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
