This sentence is nonsense.

The last sentence of the History segment of the Parliament House of Thailand, reads: "Construction began on 5 Nllocated e360 baht". This sentence is total nonsense, and the only thing attached to this is a hyperlink attached to the word "baht" which is the currency of Thailand. There are no footnotes attached to this sentence. 35.50.11.40 (talk) 13:48, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Error introduced by an inexperienced editor, reverted. Thanks for spotting. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:44, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should we rename the article?

As the upcoming Parliament House MRT station uses the term “Parliament House” to refer to the Sappaya-Sapasathan. I propose that this article should be moved to a new name (such as “Old Parliament House of Thailand”), then retarget the Parliament House of Thailand redirect to the Sappaya-Sapasathan.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, Paul_012 Jothefiredragon🐲talk🐉edits 07:49, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's a reasonable concern, as readers encountering the title would probably expect an article about the current building, but I'm not sure what the best title would be. Technically the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall served as the first parliament house, so "old parliament house" is still a bit ambiguous, but probably not significantly. Old Parliament House of Thailand reads rather awkwardly since you wouldn't usually refer to an "old something" to be "of the country"; a comma or parenthetical disambiguator might work better. Old Parliament House, Bangkok would be consistent with most other places listed at Old Parliament House, but Old Parliament House (Bangkok) or Old Parliament House (Thailand) would be more in-line with the framework laid out at WT:WikiProject Thailand/Archives/2019#Place name disambiguators. In any case, I'd suggest leaving Parliament House of Thailand as a disambiguation page for some time, to allow incoming links to be updated. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:18, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
