Someone just trolled the hell out of this article, and it generally isn't a very good idea to leave the pages of current political figures up to editing by any monkey with a keyboard. The article is vandalized about every other day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.68.231.245 ( talk) 04:39, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
The article notes that she is the first female prime minister of Thailand. But at age 44, I wonder if she is among the youngest (youngest? 2nd youngest? among the 5 youngest? etc) female heads of government in the world? There is a list of female heads at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_heads_of_state but that is not sorted in the order of youngest to oldest (age when elected to government).
If someone finds out, please add to this article.. Harel ( talk) 22:42, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
According to the Benazir Bhutto article, "Bhutto was sworn in as Prime Minister for the first time in 1988 at the age of 35" so Yingluck Shinawatra would not be the youngest ever. Mtminchi08 ( talk) 02:00, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Let's try adding some more detail to her business career. Since she's a political novice, this will provide some guidance to how she manages. Patiwat ( talk) 07:34, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
When Abhisit was appointed Prime Minister in 17 December 2008, he was the youngest Prime Minister in over 60 years. ( [1]). He was born on 3 August 1964 and was 44 years, 4 months, and 14 days old on the date of his appointment. Yingluck has yet to be formally appointed Prime Minister by King Bhumibol. But she was born on 21 June 1967. On Monday 5 July 2011, one day after the election, she is 44 years and 15 months old. If there is no constitutional crisis that prevents King Bhumibol from formally appointing her as the head of government, she will be the youngest Prime Minister in over 60 years. I'll wait until the formal appointment until I add this to the intro. Why bother mentioning it? Because someone made a strong case for mentioning this in the intro to the Abhisit article. Patiwat ( talk) 15:36, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Because in many of her public communications, for example in her Twitter or Facebook posts, she calls herself by her nickname. The article should mention her nickname just so that's clear. Patiwat ( talk) 11:16, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
I had mentioned that the TRT party had been shut down and its executive team banned from politics, and this fact was deleted by another editor. I think this information is critically important because it helps explain why Yingluck still isn't party leader or a member of its executive team; it also provides context for her amnesty proposal.

Help!
Wikipedia gender bias has been revealed, and Khunying Ms. Yingluck is facing criticism for being biased feminine instead of feminist. I'm not about to undergo a gender change at my age, and wouldn't touch this with a 10-foor
Pole. For any of you bolder than I, or whose wives or daughters may help you gender-bending, here's a good link to start with, as it has many hot-linked news references.
As soon as Pheu Thai victory catapulted Yingluck to the national top spot and it became clear she was to become prime minister, several Thai feminists were already expressing their disapproval.

One of the most popular criticisms against her is the one regarding her inability to give speech fluently in Thai and English. I think everyone would agree it has become a national phenomenon and everyone, even Wall Street Journal, mentioned it. It has drawn attention from various people including Dr. Somkiat Onvimol and induced a debate between newspaper (Matichon rebutted the argument by citing a Thai student in the US). This is also relevant to her position as a Prime Minister since everyone would expect her to be able to give speech and this would be in fact the first time I have seen a Thai prime minister being criticized for this sort of thing. This information belongs to an encyclopedia. It's a valid criticism for Yingluck's position as a PM. Please do not take it down. 125.24.160.204 ( talk) 13:17, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

I do not agree that this issue is suitable for the purposes of this encyclopaedia article. It does not seem (to me) to be presented as an impartial nor informative statement. The use of the phrase "substantial criticism" is not warranted by the information or source provided; nor do the few examples given demonstrate an unusual degreee of english language deficiency for a person for whom english is a second language. In order to be relevant it would need to be shown that her lack of english skills has had major impact on her personal or political life. Alternatively, if the subject of the article was famously, repeatedly and adamantly claiming to have perfect and infallible english, then the criticism might warrant mention.
And to the poster above who ... "never saw any politician got ridiculed because of her "incomprehensible" speech...", I can only reply: Really? Does the name George W Bush sound familiar? I note that his wikipedia entry makes no mention of his infamous 'bushisms'.
However, given the current political turmoil in Thailand I am not going to make changes that might be seen to be taking sides*, but I think this topic should be revisited later.
(*I'm not thai, I don't live in Thailand, and I have no affiliations with any thai related party or group.) Wayne aus ( talk) 05:57, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
The Flood section is written with bias. Information presented is verifiable, yet incomplete. Where are all the criticisms against her policy? What about issues with Japanese companies? What about a (mild) clash with Bangkok governor? Some negative aspects deserve to be addressed. 98.248.36.119 ( talk) 01:02, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm getting the impression that yellow and red shirts have discovered the article as playground to battle out their political differences. It would be best for the article if they take a step back.
The article has become cluttered with political yellow press information or gossip that has no real place in an encyclopedic article. Also the sources are questionable at times. Do we really need Yingluck's facebook page to source her ideas or the program of her government? Official interviews and press releases would be a much better source in doubt or serious newspaper articles on that subject.-- Kmhkmh ( talk) 03:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Recentism, the writing or editing of an article without taking a long-term, historical view, may apply to single instances of the hacking of politicians' on-line accounts, or may not. While the very likes of Sarah Palin might be considered trivial decades from now, still documenting what was controversial about her before she disappeared from history's stage might contribute to an understanding of her time. Guidelines suggest that, rather than responding to a perceived instance of "recentism" with vitriol, consider Wikinews. What was not readily apparent to me was how to notify users not yet born that Sarah was not the only bygone public figure to have had her on-line accounts hacked. -- Pawyilee ( talk) 12:16, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Wikinews interwiki links to a specific story take the long form [[wikinews:Story title]] or short form [[n:Story title]], which also work with |pipe.

PM was called a “stupid bitch” by the leader of the opposition
Wiktionary link อี defines the word here translated as "bitch" as "derogatory prefix for certain terms pertaining to women or girls, or certain animals or farm machinery." Wiktionary link stupid includes Thai: โง่ (th) (ngôh) under Translations show "lacking in intelligence". — Pawyilee ( talk) 06:22, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
This term is obsolete in English, and has had no legal validity for centuries. Is it the best translation of a Thai term? If it isn't, replace it with 'partner'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Notreallydavid ( talk • contribs) 09:39, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
Her nickname is "Pou", not "Poo", as she called herself on her Twitter and also in her Twitter username (@PouYingluck, https://twitter.com/PouYingluck) so I've edited it and should be remained like that. No more Poo unless you want to make fun of her on purpose. 110.77.234.5 ( talk) 16:43, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
None of Yingluck Shinawatra's ancestors even have a Wikipedia page. It doesn't provide any encyclopedic value. I suggest we turn it into a "Personal Life" section, like with other Prime Ministers (Talking about Barack Obama and Stephen Harper here). |Canadian Dude 1| 01:59, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Encyclopedia articles will usually use a person's family or "last" name when referencing that person in the text of the article, as is customary for almost all professional writing. This article, however, often makes reference to "Yingluck" instead of "Shinawatra" in many sentences within the text. (If I understand correctly, "Yingluck" is the given name, and "Shinawatra" is the family name).
This comes across to me as extremely informal and unprofessional writing, or possibly even disrespectful to the political figure.
Is there a good reason for this usage in this article? Or can we fix all the references to "Shinawatra" instead of "Yingluck"?

I wonder if [2] can be regarded as trustworthy since the writer only give readers a crude conclusion 「Most of the Chinese media do not know that this fourth-generation Thai Chinese, who is originated in Hakka, had a Chinese name "丘英樂", and Yingluck is the pronunciation of the Thai word "英樂" (or perhaps pronounced in Hakka) and then converted into Latin characters.」without any argumentations or interviews cited in this article to prove it.

And to the poster above who ... "never saw any politician got ridiculed because of her "incomprehensible" speech...", I can only reply: Really? Does the name George W Bush sound familiar? I note that his wikipedia entry makes no mention of his infamous 'bushisms'.
However, given the current political turmoil in Thailand I am not going to make changes that might be seen to be taking sides*, but I think this topic should be revisited later.

The Flood section is written with bias. Information presented is verifiable, yet incomplete. Where are all the criticisms against her policy? What about issues with Japanese companies? What about a (mild) clash with Bangkok governor? Some negative aspects deserve to be addressed. 98.248.36.119 ( talk) 01:02, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm getting the impression that yellow and red shirts have discovered the article as playground to battle out their political differences. It would be best for the article if they take a step back.
The article has become cluttered with political yellow press information or gossip that has no real place in an encyclopedic article. Also the sources are questionable at times. Do we really need Yingluck's facebook page to source her ideas or the program of her government? Official interviews and press releases would be a much better source in doubt or serious newspaper articles on that subject.-- Kmhkmh ( talk) 03:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Recentism, the writing or editing of an article without taking a long-term, historical view, may apply to single instances of the hacking of politicians' on-line accounts, or may not. While the very likes of Sarah Palin might be considered trivial decades from now, still documenting what was controversial about her before she disappeared from history's stage might contribute to an understanding of her time. Guidelines suggest that, rather than responding to a perceived instance of "recentism" with vitriol, consider Wikinews. What was not readily apparent to me was how to notify users not yet born that Sarah was not the only bygone public figure to have had her on-line accounts hacked. -- Pawyilee ( talk) 12:16, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
Wikinews interwiki links to a specific story take the long form [[wikinews:Story title]] or short form [[n:Story title]], which also work with |pipe.
I have not yet found a template to mark an article as having related Wicked News, but did find the Wikinews Thailand portal -- Pawyilee ( talk) 13:27, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
PM was called a “stupid bitch” by the leader of the opposition
Wiktionary link อี defines the word here translated as "bitch" as "derogatory prefix for certain terms pertaining to women or girls, or certain animals or farm machinery." Wiktionary link stupid includes Thai: โง่ (th) (ngôh) under Translations show "lacking in intelligence". — Pawyilee ( talk) 06:22, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
This term is obsolete in English, and has had no legal validity for centuries. Is it the best translation of a Thai term? If it isn't, replace it with 'partner'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Notreallydavid ( talk • contribs) 09:39, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
Her nickname is "Pou", not "Poo", as she called herself on her Twitter and also in her Twitter username (@PouYingluck, https://twitter.com/PouYingluck) so I've edited it and should be remained like that. No more Poo unless you want to make fun of her on purpose. 110.77.234.5 ( talk) 16:43, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
None of Yingluck Shinawatra's ancestors even have a Wikipedia page. It doesn't provide any encyclopedic value. I suggest we turn it into a "Personal Life" section, like with other Prime Ministers (Talking about Barack Obama and Stephen Harper here). |Canadian Dude 1| 01:59, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Encyclopedia articles will usually use a person's family or "last" name when referencing that person in the text of the article, as is customary for almost all professional writing. This article, however, often makes reference to "Yingluck" instead of "Shinawatra" in many sentences within the text. (If I understand correctly, "Yingluck" is the given name, and "Shinawatra" is the family name).
This comes across to me as extremely informal and unprofessional writing, or possibly even disrespectful to the political figure.
Is there a good reason for this usage in this article? Or can we fix all the references to "Shinawatra" instead of "Yingluck"?

She was removed from office by the Constitutional Court, not by a coup, according to the article itself. So, the category should be removed. -- Miwako Sato ( talk) 15:48, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
There are something wrong information in her master degree BBC and britannica, and in Wiki also, each of them saying different thing. Kushared ( talk) 07:00, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
I wonder if [2] can be regarded as trustworthy since the writer only give readers a crude conclusion 「Most of the Chinese media do not know that this fourth-generation Thai Chinese, who is originated in Hakka, had a Chinese name "丘英樂", and Yingluck is the pronunciation of the Thai word "英樂" (or perhaps pronounced in Hakka) and then converted into Latin characters.」without any argumentations or interviews cited in this article to prove it. Are there any reports related to her chinese name with more credibility? GLLBWinWin ( talk) 06:36, 17 May 2023 (UTC) GLLBWinWin
