Edits by Somtow?

It appears, given User:Somtow's editting history, that Template:Notable Wikipedian might be appropriate here. What do others think? Can we prove this is actually S.P. Somtow or should we just ask? Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 15:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Friends ... someone keeps "correcting" the spelling of my opera, Mae Naak (which also causes it to link to the wrong article). Would appreciate it if they would stop ... all best ... Somtow

Somtow is Somtow

User:Somtow is S.P. Somtow. I know this for a fact since I was there when he created the account. So, Template:Notable Wikipedian then...? What think ye? :-) Trisdee 04:22, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done! :) Kit O'Connell (Todfox: user / talk / contribs) 04:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Arrangement of photos

Out of respect for Her Majesty the Queen and members of the Royal Family, I wonder if the photos on this page should be rearranged so that the Queen with Somtow is at the top, then HRH Princess Galyani, and finally the dramatic photo of Maestro Somtow himself (perhaps it could be moved a bit lower and flush left)? I know that Wikipedia is not Thailand, still the subject of this article lives there. Just a thought. Wisekwai

As an international encyclopedia, I think the emphasis should be on illustrating the subject of the article. The image of "Maestro Somtow" as you put it is the best illustration of the man himself and therefore should be first. From the perspective of the article alone, the other photos merely illustrate his associations with those illustrious people. Since they are documenting groups, Somtow is much less visible and emphasized in these photos, so I don't think they should be first.
