Cambodia To-do:

Let us work in the best reference and presentation of archaeological sites of Cambodia beyond Angkor like Sambor Prei Kuk, Angkor Borei (Takeo), etc.

Should disambiguate Republican Party for Democracy and Renewal and generally try to link up social conscience with right-wing values.

I'm looking for the best picture or any informations about the KAF's U-6 (Beaver). It seem that the KAF had 3 aircrafts. But in 1971, during the viet cong's sapper attack at the Pochentong Air Base,at least 1 Beaver was destroyed.In 1972 at leat 1 Beaver was refurbished with a new engine. http://www.khmerairforce.com/AAK-KAF/AVNK-AAK-KAF/Cambodia-Beaver-KAF.JPG

Rename[edit]

I think this article needs to be renamed to Tonlé Sap, as Tonlé already means lake (or a very large, wide river). It's kind of a redundant title. --Dara 00:14, July 29, 2005 (UTC)

I think there's a problem, in that the Khmer and English terms aren't quite equivalent. In Khmer, as far as I can tell, there is one name- Tonle Sap- which refers to the lake and river together, while in English we differentiate them. However since the article actually discusses both, renaming seems a good idea. Mark ¹ 02:51, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Seems sensible, I'd support the renaming too. Coyote-37 09:16, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as I saw this, I was hit by the redundancy. Needs to be changed right away. Unschool 04:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few minor edits only. The images on this page are great but it needs a little more text to flesh it out. Perhaps we could get some ideas from Lake Burley Griffin Paxse 14:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strange[edit]

Why is there a Thai name for a lake wholly in Cambodian territory? And why is the name just a Thai pronunciation of Tonle Sap Khmer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.27.231 (talk) 20:20, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why the acute in Tonlé? Khmer isn't tonal, and the second syllable is the least stressed. Is this a French transcription?--94.223.169.174 (talk) 22:09, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Butchered[edit]

I just butchered this article, removing 60% of the images, plus infoboxen and silly cats - Siem Reap province? What on earth were people thinking? This monster takes up the entire middle of country, forget Siem Reap, baby - this thing is in NINE different provinces - the provincial borders go down the middle so everybody gets a piece of the fish. I'm quite happy to have images and dimensions deleted, changed, restored - I still don't think it looks very good now, just better than before. Feel free to restore images I removed. I just couldn't see why a picture of a small girl staring at a camera was relevant to an article on Cambodia's largest landform - mind you there was one of a small boy as well for equity purposes. :) Cheers, Paxse (talk) 14:25, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tonle Sap River[edit]

Should there be an article for the River? Cambodians do make a distinction between the Tonle Sap and the river that intersects with the Mekong. Also, requesting additional content on the reversal of the flow of the Tonle Sap River and it's significant occuring during the time of the Water Festival in Phnom Penh (Bon Om Tuk). --Dara (talk) 16:15, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

60% of Cambodians' protein intake[edit]

How could this be? Surely Cambodians eat rice? Perhaps what is meant is animal protein.User:Fred Bauder Talk 13:20, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tonlesap.jpg[edit]

I am going to enhance the quality of this image a bit and rotate it (north on top).

I have no idea about the legal implications, but i guess it is ok:

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Reusing_content_outside_Wikimedia:

"..some licenses require that if you modify the work, your modifications must also be similarly freely licensed; and finally,"

in case i am wrong, maybe somebody has a better idea....

Climate change impacts[edit]

This article needs to be updated with more recent information about drought and climate change impacts. It has been in the news many times. There currently isn't a single mention of it on here.Arcahaeoindris (talk) 09:51, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
