Proper citation

This page should be properly moved to Khmer empire when someone (myself?? :) finds the time to move existing links there... -- prat

This article has a list of references at the bottom of the page, but it isn't properly cited. I mean some unverified information may have been added by subsequent users. Just because it lists references, doesn't mean the article is verified or correctly cited. Which is why I added the "unreferenced" tag/template. --Dara 23:58, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately it was the wrong template - 'unreferenced', rather than 'ref improve'. Now that you have changed it I completely agree - the referencing is appalling. I have some of those references, so I'll see what I can dig up in my library to improve things. Cheers, Paxse 18:18, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Theres a spelling mistake, first line

Yeah, it was. :D The reason why I was so hesitant to re-add a tag was because this is a 'high profile' topic. And some kid doing some research for a report might have used it even though we can't tell for sure if all of the information is true. For all we know, some of it could be made-up and maybe even biased information, though most likely not. --Dara 19:46, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

There is another good editor who has been working on this article User:Writer128 she/he makes excellent edits - perhaps we could invite him to help us check the facts in this one and give it a major overhaul? Paxse 18:57, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Japanese settlement

This page makes reference to Japanese settlements in the Khmer Empire during the 17th century, this is unsourced and somewhat dubious. Does anyone have a source for that?Rcduggan (talk) 19:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Dravidians

While reading this article, I fing a very strong feeling that all these names are south indian (Dravidian) names. But I don't see any reference to that in the article. Is there any reference about these kings are dravidians or am I simply assumings something here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Srbasha (talk • contribs) 07:52, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Capitals

The article isn't clear on which cities where capitals of the Khmere empire. In the infobox Hariharalaya (802-889), Yasodharapura (889-1431) and Koh Ker (928-944) are listed as capitals, while the text states that Angkor was the capital in the empire's zenit. Furthermore the articles about Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom states that these two places where capitals of the Khmer empire. Is there someone who can clearify this? --Santac (talk) 07:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Good article, however I would like a source cited for this "Modern satellites have revealed Angkor to be the largest pre-industrial urban center in the world, larger than modern day New York." == The End of the Empire == I came to the end of this article rather dissatisfied with the ending. No discussion of who the successor states in the area were, which leaves one wondering just what happened. There is some discussion about the reasons for the end of the Empire, but they are rather sketchy. I understand that sources which could be relied upon are scarce for this subject. This only means that more work must be done, and that there is a hole to be filled. A useful article, but more could be written about the interactions with the Mongol Empire, and truthfully, about the whole subject of the Khmer Empire. Such a powerful empire needs to be examined in greater detail. I hope this article is greatly expanded in the future.Daniel Sparkman (talk) 19:14, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
