Proposed name change[edit]

The name of the satellite television channel discussed here, is actually 'DMC', not 'DMC.tv'. The latter is the URL of the website that is connected to the satellite channel, not the name of the actual channel. But since DMC can refer to many things, i propose to use the full name of the satellite channel as the page title, e.i. "Dhammakaya Media Channel".S Khemadhammo (talk) 00:10, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No objections have been raised to the name change, so I am continuing with it.S Khemadhammo (talk) 16:13, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the catch. I wasn't aware it was a purchasable service. S Khemadhammo (talk) 00:13, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take this one on tonight. Courcelles (talk) 01:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, much appreciated, Courcelles!--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 07:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Checked all content that is supported by this source, and rephrased sentence you mentioned in a less peacocky and more specific way. There is no better source, but the PhD thesis/dissertation is from a leading university in Asian Studies (SOAS of the University of London). You are right of course that a PhD thesis has less credence than a peer-reviewed scientific article, but I am not aware of any policy against it. I believe that avoidance only holds for Master theses.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 07:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • minus Removed the sentence about quality programming now.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 10:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Fixed. DMC was dissolved, GBN survived but it was renamed as GBN. I have removed two parameters from the infobox, which only led to confusion.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 10:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2) No hyphen in South America

  •  Fixed.
  •  Doing...
  • I have now rephrased and copy-edited considerably. Please provide me with some more details to give me some guidance. Thanks.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 08:00, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Partly fixed. I linked it. Conversion would quickly become outdated, not sure how this should be properly done.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 07:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Fixed. Discovered the way to do this at MOS:CURRENCY, and made appropriate changes.

On hold for a week. Courcelles (talk) 01:57, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Done.
  • I have no recent sources on this, but there has been no news that the organization behind it was disbanded or something like that.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 08:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the useful comments, Courcelles.--Farang Rak Tham (Talk) 08:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


  • Maybe about the junta shutting down the satellite network would work? I'm somewhat lousy at hook writing, I'll freely admit! Courcelles (talk) 19:35, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
