replies: text: The name Don Mueang Airport was the airport's old name when it moved from Sa Pathum palace. Then it was changed to Bangkok Airport and Bangkok International Airport. And... it still uses that name to date even though all commercial flight moved to Suvarnabhumi Airport. Bangkok Airport will be used for charter flight, Government officer's filght.BratBoyz 15:57, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The official name of the airport is Suvarnabhumi Airport. With the closing of Don Muang International Airport, it is Bangkok's international airport, and the name Bangkok International Airport should redirect to Suvarnabhumi Airport, not the other way around. -Wisekwai 03:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Official name is Suvarnabhumi Airport 

message: Here's how it should be: 
* Suvarnabhumi Airport should be the name of the article. Like it or not, Suvarnabhumi Airport is official name of the airport.
* Don Mueang International Airport should be the name of the old airport article. 
* Bangkok International Airport should be a disambiguation page, which gives links to both the old and new airports. Or, the link is a redirect to Suvarnabhumi (not the other way around) and then a disambig link to the Don Mueang article should be placed at the top of the Suvarnabhumi page.
I'm not sure where the talk pages fit in this mess, though I suppose the related talk pages for Don Mueang (old Bangkok International Airport) and Suvarnabhumi (new airport) should stay with their respective pages.
An admin will have to do this move to sort the talk pages out. A request has been put in at Wikipedia:Requested moves--Wisekwai 04:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What's wrong with Suvarnabhumi being known as Bangkok International Airport? I know Suvarnabhumi is the official name, but to make it easy, just let Suvarnabhumi be Bangkok International Aiport. At the start of Suvarnabhumi's article, there can be a sentence like this Bangkok International Airport redirects here. For the old airport, see Don Mueang International Airport. --Terence Ong (T | C) 05:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In the case of that redirect example, that would be if Suvarnabhumi was the name of the page. I think the best solution would be to name the page Suvarnabhumi Airport and have Bangkok International Airport redirect to it. Then a disambig link at the top could read something like. This page is about the New Bangkok International Airport. For the old airport, see Don Mueang International Airport. --Wisekwai 06:01, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, with Suvarnabhumi's page being Bangkok International Airport. Therefore, the sentence will be like that This page refers to the Suvarnabhumi Airport, for the old airport, see Don Mueang International Airport. --Terence Ong (T | C) 06:13, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, whatever works, and as long as people can get access to accurate information, then I guess the name across the top of the page isn't that big a deal, to me anyway, today. --Wisekwai 07:26, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seizures 

message: The piece states, "it is speculated that Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 will later be utilised as LCC Terminal (sic)." Why would an "encyclopedia" speculate? Speculation is best left to tabloids. This claim is marked as needing citation when, in fact, it needs to be removed. Even if the source of the speculation could be cited -- why would speculation be needed in an "encyclopedia"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.220.193.142 (talk) 23:20, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  '''Speculation''' 

message: The article states that this is the oldest commercial airport, because the first commercial air flight arrived there. Logically, surely the oldest would be the airport from which the flight departed, and the airport at which it arrived would be the second oldest!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.170.240.10 (talk) 10:44, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
