message: Perhaps there should be mention of the 2018 soccer team cave rescue added to this article. Most people in the world had never heard of Thai Navy SEALS. Suddenly, they've become the heroes of the cave.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.71.148.25 (talk) 16:42, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

message: The organisation has changed its name to Naval Special Warfare Command, Royal Thai Fleet since 2008, and it is commonly known as Thai Navy SEAL (with SEAL being an acronym), per the sources I have given. Then,  explain your reasons for reverting the edits, I beg you. --Miwako Sato (talk) 04:48, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: No begging required, discussing disputed content is standard. This is what is supposed to happen, instead of edit warring. There was sourced content that stated that the Thai Seals are named for the marine animals, and not as an acronym like the USN SEALs. You tried changing that, it was reverted (disputed) by another editor, but instead of discussing, you reverted again. I then sent the article back to QUO and requested a talk page discussion, but you continued reverting. A quick look on Google produced a Bangkok Media outlet (see here) that refers to the Thai unit in lower case, which would support the original content. However, we should allow some time for others to participate. If it can be clearly determined that the Thai unit does indeed use the same naming style as the Americans, or a consensus supports that, then your change will likely go back in. Just be patient and please stop the disruption. Thank you - wolf 05:12, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:   That page actually contains a motto of the entire Royal Thai Navy, which states that the motto is SAIL (from Seamanship, Allegiance, Integrity, Leadership). But if you go deeper to the page containing the background of the organisation, you'll find that the page says that the organisation started as an Underwater Demolition Team and later changed the name to the present one, Naval Special Warfare Command, Royal Thai Fleet, and is also known as SEAL, which is an acronym for Sea-Air-Land. The name Thai Navy SEAL is what the organisation is commonly referred to in English literature (according to the sources I have provided elsewhere). Even the official Facebook page of the organisation is titled Thai Navy SEAL. --Miwako Sato (talk) 05:29, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

text: *  There are various other sources (apart from the SEAL's own website), such as MThai & Zcooby, which say SEAL is from SEa–Air–Land, and none mentions any relationship with the animal seal. So, it is appropriate to capitalize SEAL. --YURi (talk) 02:02, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

text: You've  to know why we discuss disputed content instead edit-warring over it. This discussion appears to have lead to a resolution and now hopefully a more stable article. That said... a 'trout', because I didn't go clawing through hundreds of edits, going back seven years, to support an edit that another editor here that is not me wanted sooo much? Oh, puh-leeeze... keep your fish and get over yourself. - wolf 10:41, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
