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]

Four faces[edit]

Could someone clarify what is the fourth face? Phnom Penh? The Bassac River, Mekong and Tonlé Sap make three and the source seems to be unclear on that. Brandmeister^talk 16:50, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Mekong upstream and downstream the Bassac-Mekong bifurcation form a face respectively.--Toter Alter Mann (talk) 14:40, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Previous categorization[edit]

What was this thought to be, before being determined to be a separate species? -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 01:11, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It was not previously classified (it usually takes a couple years between discovery and classification). --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:57, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, what was this bird believed to be. I am assuming that this bird has been observed many times, considering it's found in Phnom Penh, with a long history of French scholars living there, but no one noticed it was different from other birds of the area, so it would have been categorized as some other bird. -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 00:42, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The journal entry tells us that this bird is most closely related to Dark-necked Tailorbird. When the bird was found in 2009 during the checks, it was thought to be the Ashy Tailorbird and not the Dark-necked Tailorbird because of its plumage. Tentinator 05:24, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
