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

Thankfull for this info. [Unsigned]

Your page is very well organized and thorough, especially in your analysis of the drug trade that polutes the social and economic areas of Cambodia. This is obviously a topic of interest to you as you have quite nicely display your breadth of knowledge. I like how you include a list of the major drugs sold in the "Golden Triangle" and the repercussions of each drug (i.e.- HIV/AIDS resulting from the heroin market and over use of needles). However, I think you should write this article less like a paper for school and more as an informational segment on this topic that you are so clearly passionate about. Include facts, statistics, locations, and/or major players in this business(AKA-leaders/gangs/groups/mafias). This should be pertinent to your "Recent Developments" category. Also, is there a title for the middle section? Other than that, great start and interesting topic! --Vknott (talk) 16:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]


The beginning of the article seems to start in mid-topic. It makes sense, but slightly more introduction would be helpful to the reader here. For example, you begin with "Cambodia still remains a major supplier...", adding one or two sentences prior to this such as "Cambodia has always been" or "Cambodia is known for" or something to that effect would clarify the intro of your article. It seems your passion on the subject overrides your writing at some places and makes the article sound somewhat unbiased. The second paragraph is an example of this as it sounds like you are arguing a point about what the government should do about corruption. In editing this, see if you can make it sound more like a textbook rather than how you feel. The middle section could use a title as well, perhaps "Teng Bunma". Otherwise the article is off to a good start as you have several sections talking about all the different aspects that this drug trade affects such as the spread of AIDS, and the social affect on the nation. Using the case about Axelson is a great way to expand on the affects of the trafficking and exposing the severity of the penalties if caught. This topic is very interesting and enlightening and could be even more so with further expansion on each section with either some links, background information or recent statistics, otherwise everything is right on track.
