India/Indian disambiguation
Hi. It seems you were trying use disambiguation link for India/Indian. Though it was better for some pages, where it did not mean India, but in some articles, the changes were not that useful. For example, in Johnny Lever page, you changed Indian to Indian (film), which is actually a particular film (and not Indian Cinema as you might have thought it could be). You can alternatively, delink it like '[[Indian]]' to 'Indian'. As per the Manual of Style changes for August has done away with wikifying demonyms (search for demonym). Thanks.--GDibyendu (talk) 09:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hey GDibyendu, thanks for your message and thanks for the link to the August MoS changes. I have to admit I don't follow the frequent MoS changes as carefully as I should. However, in your example above on the Johnny Lever page my DAB link edit (diff [1]) was in his list of films. I changed the generic and unwanted (per MoS) link to the DAB page Indian to the correct and specific link to the page for the film Indian (film) where Johnny played a small role. Linking to Indian cinema would have been little improvement at all. So I actually changed an unhelpful link to a demonyn into a link to the correct film :) A useful edit, yeah?

Your request for rollback
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4e/Wikipedia_Rollback.png/220px-Wikipedia_Rollback.png)
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

Sorry
I am sorry but I was just exposing this vandall to you guys. Sorry If I Went Overboard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.176.176.2 (talk) 15:25, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks a lot for your comment, it's always encouraging to get feedback on the toiling at wikipedia. However, I have to be humble and give the credit for the material to Kiernan. I must add though, that working with the Cambodia/KR-articles was highly rewarding, when digging deeper in the history of the various conflicts one uncovers so many details that the mainstream western discourse on Cambodian history (i.e. that KR was a bunch of lunatics/demons who emerged from nowhere and starting killing glass-eye-bearers randomly and then disappeared into nowhere) ignore. Cambodia is certainly one of the cases where SB hits the hardest, and I really appreciate your efforts in various articles. --Soman (talk) 16:23, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

your warm welcome
Paxse, thank you for your kind & warm welcome. i have tried to add as much as i know on Samouth, especially on the date each song has been aired (from my memory, which can be faulty) and most of all have tried to avoid editing over others' valuable contributions. This is to show my respect to others' knowledge, as i know my own limitations very well. Consequently the article looks like it's been written, well, by half a dozen people. On the other hand, hopefully it will evolve into something useful to the younger Khmer generations.

Cambodia
Its great to see you back and active. I want you to start more articles like Khmer People's National Liberation Armed Forces! Give me a few months and I'll get back to working on Cambodian communes/villages. Can I just ask though why wikipedia became so bad that you stayed away all those months? Count Blofeld 18:35, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Paxse, Thanks for your encouraging comment. I would love your help in getting this article up on wikipedia. I actually have now rewritten it. (Actually I wrote it the first time too. I'm the web content editor on the site I copied it off of). Anyway, I don't know all of the code for wikipedia. For instance, putting a picture up on the page which makes it a lot more attractive. I'll try posting my article again and I have an image for the TSBR. Is there some way I could send this to you and have you post in on the site. Thanks! I really appreciate the help! Srvandvoly (talk) 07:26, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip about under construction, and thanks for improving the layout and formatting! I was glad to see the article didn't get taken down again! As I have more time I'll try to improve the article further, as well as add some related links. It is just that "more time" part that is a little difficult :) Srvandvoly (talk) 03:08, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
User:Political Dweeb's reply
User:Political Dweeb wants to say firstly a huge thank you back to you for the generous complements comments you gave me about the articles I made that you are interested in. Secondly now I want to ask if you are saying that you now are living in Cambodia? Thats because I wondered if its possible for me to give you a list of all the political parties I chose from the registration list of the Cambodian National Electoral Commission's website and ask you to either give me the websites of them that have logos and platforms or if you are living in Cambodia now could you try to get some of them from the NEC and scan them into your computor with a scanner and then upload them.?
If you want my help on how to upload those Cambodian political party logos on Wikipedia I can help and explain to you how to do it. Apart from that if theres anything else you are interested in or that you would like me to help you with please let me know. Hope you reply soon and a friendly warm welcome from me for your constructively positive comments. Political Dweeb talk —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:03, 19 November 2008 (UTC).

User:Political Dweeb Reply
User:Political Dweeb here has listed below all the political party addresses and phone numbers from the Cambodian National Electoral Commission I could possibly get so you could get their logos and platforms of their beliefs and give them to me to create articles on them. I'm afraid there were some more I wanted to get from Cambodia's NEC that were on the Cambodian ministry of Interior from 1998 to 2008, however there phone numbers and addresses were not there. If I gave their names do you think you could find their logos and platforms for me?
Khmer Prosperity Party's Headquarter address #137Eo, Monivong Blvd., Monorom'Commune, Khan 7 Makara, PNP 110 P.K
Khmer Democratic Party's Headquarter address #44B, Street 592, Boeng Kok 2 Commune, Khan Tuol Kork,PNP 236 P.K
Khmer Democratic Party's phone number 012 842 947, 016 944 820
Vongkot Khemerak Mohanokor Party Headquarter address #13-15, Street 310, Tuol Svay prey 1 Commune, Khan Chamkamon, PNP 099 P.K
The Rice Party headquarter address No.69, Sothearos Blvd,Sangkat TonleBasak, Khan Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh
The Rice Party phone number 016 825 087, 011 860 060, 023 993 169
Molinaka and the Khmer Freedom Fighters Party Headquarter address No. 08, St.292, Sangkat Boeung Kang 2, Khan Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh

Farmer's Party phone number 012 930 033, 016 589 999, 016 333 200
Apart from that below here is the address and phone number of an alliance that is now been changed into a political party called the Sangkum Jatiniyum Front Party. The reason I am giving you this is because in on one of the Wikipedia articles on a political party thats part of this alliance called the Khmer Front Party one of the sources used for it explains who the other political parties as well as the KFP were that joined the SFJP. There are two of them that I wondered if you could get their platforms and logos for me by using the Sangkum Jatiniyum front Party's address and phone number to see if the leaders of those two parties would agree. The names of these two parties are the Khmer Peoples National Liberation Front and the Angkor Empire Party.
Sangkum Jatiniyum Front Party's headquarters address #40, Street 566, Boeungkak I, Toul Kork Phnom Penh
Sangkum Jatiniyum Front Party's phone number +855 12 762 207
One other point I want to make is that when you get these logos could you try to get them in colour please. Also if it is slightly possible could you find and post me a box/package of any flags or rosettes these political parties may have with logos on them? I understand that from your message that if there is a website link of any kind or images you may want or be interested in I must use your "email user" from your navigation bar which I think is not on the right but on the left hand side of your Wikipedia page however I will use if I find anything you might like. See you soon my far away friend. Political Dweeb (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:16, 23 November 2008 (UTC).
- Wow! OK, you've set the challenge, now I just have to rise to it. This will take me some time. I can swing by and photograph a couple of HQ's easily enough - I may be able to do a few next weekend, but collecting their party platforms and any gear means visiting during working hours - tricky as I'm generally very busy. I'll see what I can work out. The KPNLF is historical as far as I know and the SFJP was an interesting experiment, we'll see if it continues for the next election. I still have CPP stickers outside my gate - they hit every single house along my street in the early hours of the morning two weeks prior to the election - pasting directly on the outside walls of the houses and using a very tenacious glue. By contrast the SRP only posted on public rather than private spaces along the street. The NRP put up one lonely little poster on a telegraph pole across the road, the week before the election. It soon blew down. :)

Paxse, thanks for the kind, humbling words. I always appreciate feedback from other editors, especially regarding work on pages that seem to get very little serious attention. I have suddenly found myself quite busy with my small business and family life and therefore do not presently contribute as much as I would like. I intend to resume editing more regularly in the near future and look forward to working together.--William Thweatt Talk | Contribs 23:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Paxse. It'd be nice to have it as a featured portal, but unfortunately I'm not much of an active wikipedian anymore. And Portal Cambodia, in particular, does have certain problems. When compared to other portal, it does not have a wide pool of articles, pictures, etc. to be selected for the monthly features. So, it's difficult to choose and I often had to pick the ones with less-than-satisfactory quality. But maybe there is still hope. Other than the contents, the portal is already in quite a good shape. If you want to improve the portal and make it a featured one, I'll be glad and willing to help you in term of advice. Cheers, --Melanochromis (talk) 02:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
Cambodian riel
Hi! My advice would be to check newspaper articles (news.google.com) and LexisNexis to see if there are any discussions about Cambodian currencies. If any reliable source says that the coins are not popular, then we could cite the article :) WhisperToMe (talk) 16:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Drop
Fake email. See my reasons in the email ban log. :) — neuro(talk) 16:15, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- I can't find my ban in the log any more, but yeah, basically, it was 'tom.com'. I thought this was suspicious, but the domain did indeed exist, so I dug a little deeper and discovered that in fact tom.com staff don't use that domain for emails, they use tomonline-inc.com. Hope this explains things, — neuro(talk) 16:55, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- They sell emails? I didn't seem to be able to see that, so maybe I was wrong. However, as for "Even the administrator of the domain uses a tom.com email address", I see wanhua@tomonline-inc.com, not a tom.com mail. Hm. What makes you think they sell mailboxes? — neuro(talk) 17:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Ignore me, I didn't notice http://mail.tom.com/, and my Chinese is awful. I am creating it now. — neuro(talk) 17:31, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, and by the way, I only just noticed this: "Did you ban the email (can't see it in the logs) or just drop the request? If the latter, we should be able to resurrect it and create the account," Any user of the ACC tool (AFAIK) can unban. Have a nice day! :) — neuro(talk) 17:35, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- Dropping/banning doesn't send any mail. :) — neuro(talk) 17:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you marked ID 17674 as taken - in fact I had just created the account about 2 seconds before you marked it taken.

User:Political Dweebs's 3rd reply
I wanted to ask you User:Paxse that when you have got some of these logos, platforms or photos of political parties for me to use to create Wikipedia articles about them could you then let me know where I can then find them on Wikipedia so I could use them, thank you. By the way are there any other types of European or Asian political parties I could give you information or logos on that you would like to use for creating wikipedia articles on? If so I'd be happy to try and find and give you some, see you soon. Political Dweeb talk —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:00, 6 December 2008 (UTC).
Naming conentions for country specific topics
The naming convention has a caveats section, that is what these topics falls under. I am not selectively quoting anything, of the two hundred or so articles that cover cuisines originating in specific countries, only a dozen or so use the topic of country. The reasons are clearly spelled out in the caveats section I mentioned.
Please make your arguments on the talk pages of the articles in question and participate in the discussions there as opposed to the requested move page. We gladly welcome you input in the appropriate place.

Seasons greetings
Thanks for your message. I would be happy to help, to the extent possible. Its quite unfortunate that important subjects like Pol Pot, KR, etc, constantly gets dragged down in pov diatribes. It seems like there is an underlying philosophy amongst many wikipedians that bad guys (KR, Nazis, Stalin, North Koreans) don't need npov. --Soman (talk) 19:51, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Please assume good faith
There was no conflict. Three editors were simply editing the same article at the same time. The other editor and myself felt that there were WP:PEACOCK terms, which I've removed. What's the point of saving an article if it's going to be so poorly written? I've accepted that there's some notability there. However, we have to maintain a neutral POV. Further discussion should be kept at the article itself. Thanks. freshacconci talktalk 16:44, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

A friendly hello to you Paxse. I saw that on the list of political parties in Cambodia you had added a possible article called Nationalist Khmer Party. I think you may be talking about the one thats here on the N.E.C. website where under the list called "Contact Details of Competing Political Parties" there is a party among to others called Nationalist Khmer Party between one above it called Indra Buddra City Party and the one below it Norodom Chakrapong Proloeung Khmer Party. However on a list above this one further up called the "Number of Political Parties Registered for Parliamentary Election (2003)" the list of political parties there was the same as the one for the party's contact details however the difference was I think the name of the party between the Indra Buddra City Party and the other party below called Norodom Chakrapong Proloeung Khmer Party which was called Khmer Nationalist Party which has a small logo.[4]
Is it possible that you could find a large colourful and clear logo of this party, some information of its platform and if possibe photographs of its activities for me to construct this Nationalist Khmer Party article. Thanks again, oh and have a very very VERY Merry Christmas, hope you had a fun and happy holiday at home with family and friends, see you soon Paxse.

Adoption / Joining the Cold War Project
Hello Paxse, I have recently joined wikipedia and hope to become a worthy contributor some day. I came across your name on the list in the Cold War Project page and saw you were willing to adopt wiki neophytes. I would love to become a member of the Cold War project, the topic is a favorite of mine and hope someday to become a scholar in the subject. I am not limited to the Cold War and enjoy many periods and subjects in history, political science and geopolitics. Anywho...your adoption would be appreciated and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Paxse, I saw that your helping Shadow with his article. I have a question, I’m helping him too, but I can’t seem to find other users to give their opinions and suggestions from his link to the Conestoga Crossings on his talk page.

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! | ||
Hey there, Paxse! Happy new Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do. I like to keep my templated messages in a satisfactorily melancholy tone. ;)
Congratulations to Coren, Wizardman, Vassyana, Carcharoth, Jayvdb, Casliber, Risker, Roger Davies, Cool Hand Luke and Rlevse, who were all appointed to the Arbitration Committee after the ArbCom elections. I am sure I am but a voice of many when I say I trust the aforementioned users to improve the committee, each in their own way, as listed within their respective election statements. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to update the 2009 article, heh. Best wishes, neuro(talk) 00:56, 1 January 2009 (UTC) |
category tags, etc.
Thanks. I hope I'm using the category & other such tags correctly. I copy/pasted from other models. How do you find a list of possible categories? Thanks again. 06:38, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
his/her or her/his
How do you edit simple gender oversights? For example: "This would be the best advice for him or her.", rather than the typical "him" only option. Or in using his/her or her/his, rather than just "his" in a sentence that could refer to either sex? Emanresu3 (talk) 06:38, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Need Khmer help
Hello, can you tell what this says?
Also, can you translate the top and bottom of this poster?
Thank you, Badagnani (talk) 08:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- Fantastic, thanks--I have posted it on those respective Flickr pages. The owner of that page told me s/he put the page up for the purpose of providing accurate information about the actual use of water tortures, seeing as water tortures have been discussed in such a matter-of-fact manner over the past year or so, without most or any of the discussers having had actual experience of such tortures (unlike the survivors of Tuol Sleng).

Hi, this bank is in Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 January 8 (today) due to notability, bank was founded in September 2008, article was created yesterday by me. Might there be any Khmer sources about this bank to be added to the article in case it is restored, as I hope? Bank was founded 4 months ago, it is not really listed on Hoover's or Alacrastore, it can use mainstream Khmer sources for its External links to avoid deletion. Thanks, cheers. --Mr Accountable (talk) 20:59, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
I think it's safe to remove those notability tags. Articles about settlements and geographical features are commonly kept and I see no reason to not do the same for provinces and districts, just make sure you continue to actually make them verifiable. (maybe even change notability tags to those that say it's missing references one or more references. - Mgm|(talk) 10:07, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Ministries in Cambodia
Hi, you certainly deserve a barnstar for your work on the districts of Cambodia, this is just a note to give my perspective on Ministry articles, Department for Culture, Media and Sport is a UK ministry article that displays the depth of detail and listings that are possible for a government ministry article, I hope the Cambodian ministry articles achieve that level of expository detail over time. Cheers. Oh, I spent some time adding commune codes from the NIS tables to the district articles, please let me know if you support this addition to the articles, I am certainly willing to continue with these codes if the general feeling is that they aren't really going to be questioned or deleted. --Mr Accountable (talk) 02:16, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Category:Tonlé Sap
Something to consider, I've put together Category:Tonlé Sap, does this category belong in Category:Cambodia? Economic importance, center of culture, etc. --Mr Accountable (talk) 17:05, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- A more important topic is, before one goes and puts the dozens of rivers, communities and districts in this category, should it be re-named Category:Tonle Sap, without the accent on the letter e? It just doesn't seem possible to look up this category from the search box, and there is Wikiprecedent for English usage, and I've no idea, is the accent mark is being modernized away or not and becoming optional, in Cambodia itself? --Mr Accountable (talk) 17:14, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- No matter, I've gone ahead with the simpler name. --Mr Accountable (talk) 17:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
- Actually (to my knowledge), as redirects don't really function with categories, the principal Wikipolicy is being followed. Tonle Sap redirects to Tonlé Sap and I can't see spending my time with it. I take it from the tone of the note that both versions of the name are commonplace, in-country; if one wants to change the article to the simpler version, please go ahead and do so, it's of no importance to me.....I used to work at Dynamic Eastern Finance in Krung Thep and I do miss the place, it was 1991 and I didn't get a chance to visit Cambodia at the time, it was an important focus of our research there. We did visit dozens of SET companies in the area of the city, there is nothing like wearing a business suit and riding on the back seat of a motorcycle for 45 minutes through the noonday traffic. Take care. --Mr Accountable (talk) 17:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Blofeld's Evil Communiques
Echoing your DYK I've been doing some searching and have found http://www.wdpa.org/MultiResult.aspx?Country=114 a list of protected areas of Cambodia. Given that I dont want to neglect Cambodia but am smashed with work on here especially creating articles like Agriculture in Bolivia, Coffee production in El Salvador, Guyana Sugar Corporation using LOC material and translating articles like Tunis in the last few days !!, I thought I'd create Template:National parks of Cambodia and get the articles up and running in a few days. For sinance with Phnom Kulen do you want to seperate the articles on the geo landmark or protected area? For instance Caradom Mountains etc. Hope ya is well Dr. Blofeld White cat 22:43, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Excellent, if you can also add those commune/village tables I started off to the district articles and find any population figures this would be great. Can you copy my example on Battambang District and add a commune/village table like this to the districts? I thought they were called communes and villages rather than groups or sections? I agree a great deal of work needs doing at a provincial level let alone districts! If you can expand them up to start class and have fun this is great. Very glad you are now enjoying wikipedia. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:05, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Cool, I'm suffering from a slow PC at the moment which makes editing annoying. I'm sure Calliopjen 1 informed me there are 2008 figures out for Cambodia now -you may want to ask her. I'm going to oust those nasty district and communes boxes I create and gadually replace them with proper settlement boxes. This way other data can be added at a later date, photo can be added maps can be added etc. Really we ought to get hold of some district maps. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:33, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Great work on these. We really need maps and images though!! Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:40, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
I'll take a break from Africa today and start sorting the boxes. If you could follow the exmaple with Batheay District which I've just done we can get cracking. Yes I asked Andy for those maps but theAhoemeister I'm afraid only seems to want to work on Thailand. I'll also have a scout around on flickr and try to find some images and make some more agreements. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm sure they are! Any to "consolidate" Cambodian districts I think Iam going to create a Template:Districts of Cambodia. You see the provincial temmplates are intended eventually to list further subdivisions like communes -see the Battambang templates for instance. We need a nationlaised template for all of the Cambodian districts - I think I'll create the template shortly and administer it. This way we have all of the districts in Cambodia readily accessible from one article to the next and may also help in navigation and hopefully make it easier to keep track of things. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Aren't you happy with the district template? ANyway if you could also remove the horrible eyesore colours for the tablesBotum Sakor District etc! Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:18, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm taking a few days away from active editing -I'll make a start on adding those district boxes when I return. Take care and hope to see a few more DYks by the time I return. Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:57, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
New material
Thought you might want to see Sihanoukville Autonomous Port; in this article, the w-link Bay of Kompong Som could be resolved if Bay of Kompong Som or Kompong Som Bay is written; it would go well in a new category, Category:Gulf of Thailand, which category has only started to be populated. --Mr Accountable (talk) 04:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- Expansion and promotion; vis a vis the WikiCup and according to "Hoyle", does this mean I should point out some interesting aspects of the topic that I have learned just recently, or does it mean I should leave it to you to do so? Please advise. .... Cambodia CWT Dry Market obviously sounds interesting. --Mr Accountable (talk) 04:59, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
- No, come on, chin up, you're in second place in Group E. There are a lot of berthing facilities, lifting facilities, navigational aids, short wave radio protocol and equipment, tank farms, truck depots, I didn't see mention of a redo of the computer systems, all of it creates more paychecks which create restaurants, noodle stands, karaokes, car and scooter dealerships... and them men move there, get married and raise families maybe then a shopping mall, new bank branches, new factories, new schools, new towns .... there's a lot there at the port, lots of work going on, lots of companies involved. Knowing something of Khmer, it must be possible to see how companies, state corporations, ministries, are building it. + PAS website seems to highlight the environmental program and the industrial effluent treatment plant. --Mr Accountable (talk) 05:18, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
I came across your DYK nom in the list. Since you nominated it in the 27 January section, that's the date the expansion is supposed to start (nominations should be done on the day something is created, rather than the day of nomination itself). I couldn't find mention of the hook in the linked articles. Can you either move around some references or improve on the references your using? (More specific info on the nomination entry) -_ Mgm|(talk) 11:13, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, that was a great heading you wrote there. I've spent a lot of time writing that article and digging up sources (I pretty much didn't do anything else constructive for the entire time). It also had the nasty side effect of giving me the munchies. If I am ever near a shop that sells his chocolate, I'll be buying it. The images alone make them look very tasty already... If I dig up the final few hard to find factoids, do you think this could be my first GA? I'll check those references for the spiders again.- Mgm|(talk) 17:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Districts
Just a note, I haven't really had the time to work at Districts of Cambodia and NIS, I said I would do so but I have been busy with Category:Port authorities, (I've added many articles), in regard to the eventual creation of a useful list of port authorities on the difficult route from the Mediterranean to East Asia; a soon-to-be-presentable table is at a work area at User:Mr Accountable#Ports, it should be attachable to article Piracy in the Strait of Malacca, WP:PORTS or WP:MARITIME SECURITY or somesuch, or to an East Asian interwiki, the issue is well-reported in the East Asian press. Asian categories of rivers and bodies of water are important to a positive maritime wikipedia, said categories are quite underaccomplished. I have created Categories Mekong River, Gulf of Thailand, Red River, Gulf of Tonkin, Ayeyerawady River and more; Category:Brahmaputra River is red and Category:Ganges has no cities, towns, villages, states of India, bridges, shipping companies, government irrigation schemes, national parks, or ...anything but hydrographic items in it. Just haven't had the ennui to start with the many districts, communes and villages of Cambodia, I'll try to get to it when I can. --Mr Accountable (talk) 09:01, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Autonomous ports
- In re: Infobox, Operated by; at Sihanoukville Autonomous Port - is the article about the port (body of water + accompanying onland facilities + specially zoned land) or is it about the state corporation of the same name? I thought at first that it was about the port operating state corporation, with as much info added to the article about the port itself as was possible to add. The infobox seems ambigous to me...... I don't have the chops to write seriously yet about port installations, but here's an article that seems to have the right idea: Port of Hong Kong#Port facilities and services. I think what I'm trying to say is 'Should there be an article for "Sihanoukville Autonomous Port" (the company) and another article "Port of Sihanoukville" (the port)?' Food for thought. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:13, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I think, Francophonically, port authorities are named "Port autonome du Dakar" or "Port autonome de Sihanoukville" whilst Anglophonically, ports are named "Port of Tampa" or "Port of Hong Kong". --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:17, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'll restate: Francophonically, and as used in French West Africa, ports and their port authorities seem to be the same entity; articles "Port autonome du Dakar" or "Port autonome d'Abidjan" are unwritten; if I had gone ahead and written them, I'd know more about it. In writing Anglophonic port authority articles over the past few days, the ports seemed to be named "Port of Lagos" and "Port of Banjul" and the port authorities seemed to be named "Nigerian Ports Authority" and "Gambia Ports Authority".
- Bristol Harbour, albeit a museum, certainly has a well-written, detailed description of port facilities. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:26, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

New section
OK I;ve made a start. Mongkol Borei District looks cool with the district map too, we really need to get hold of the lot of them. If you have time can you get me a list of around 25 buildings that are missing from Cambodia to start as I am in the process of ridding of the stupid generic "Asian building stubs" but to do so I need 60 stubs. So far, 38. Dr. Blofeld White cat 11:20, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
A useful source for some village data in the future may be this. pLease keep a record of this link as it may prove very useful! Anyway I'm about half way through adding the district boxes now. Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:55, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
I;ve also found some PDF files here from the World Food Organisation which may be of some use statistically. Perhaps we should start listing the Communes of Cambodia. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Ian I know that red links are ugly but can you please wikilink the communes in the tables and they will be started soon enough. Thanks Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Good thinking!! Well once I've finished adding all the district infoboxes, next port of call will be to add all of the commune/village tables to all of the districts. Then as I go along I will list all the communes of Cambodia in the new article. and then as we ge tthe district articles up to adequate status I will start building up all of the curreent provincial templates we have like Battambang and make a start on the communes, providing I can get hold of Calliopjen's population data. SOund like a good plan? Naturally as well I will replace any existing commune boxes with standard and the same with provinces too. Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:17, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Cool. I will first though add empty commune tables to the articles ready to be filled in. Might save you some time. Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:33, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Should have asked me. If you search here or here specifically (the only two licenses we can except) you'll find that any image that shows up within this setting is immediately viable to be uploaded to wikipedia. So if for instance you wanted to find an image of Sihanoukville just type in Sihanoukville or Sihanoukville port, and any image that shows up you can upload under the Creative Commons 2.0. Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Oh, well why did you spend hours looking for appropriately licensed images then? Actually there are some good images within these but I agree tourist photos can be annoying in that they are often just temples we have masses of images for and sunsets littel constructive like a road, important public building or village etc. Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:53, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
For instance type in Pailin. Nothing!! BTW if you come across a flickr user who has a load of images we really want you can always ask permission to use them under commons 3.0 attribution. Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:57, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Upload them then!! I've been looking for ages to find an image of Pailin. Oh the commune boxes will look like Chheu Teal. Dr. Blofeld White cat 20:34, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Sounds good, perhaps we could also add a column for coordinates. Depends on how many we are dealing with. Any idea the official number of communes? Dr. Blofeld White cat 20:41, 31 January 2009 (UTC) Just the evil one come to report that the new district boxes have been added. Look forward to seeing all the articles filled out. Next I'll go through and add the commune tables ready. Have a great Sunday although by my estimates it is roughly 10.10pm where you are! Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Indeed. FUnny how he has that bald evil villain thing going on too. If you house is quiet and peaceful and the angelic kids are in bed, you probably don't want to be watching The Bald One rockin. This is one of his faster songs played to perfection. Now I;ve been playing guitar for 18 years and have a huge knowledge of guitarists from heavy metal to jazz fusion and even Latin classical guitar and in my view Satriani is probably one of most technically brilliant guitarists I've ever seen. Michael Angelo Batio too although he is too fast for my liking. For blues, Stevie Ray Vaughan (who is actually my favourite guitarist overall along with Jimi Hendrix. Jazz, Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour or Robben Ford are amongst the best. Dr. Blofeld White cat 15:41, 1 February 2009 (UTC) Or if shred isn't your thing listen to one of Baldy's emotional tracks. Night night. Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:01, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Yep, Vai and Gary Moore are amongst my favourites too but Satriani taught Vai!!. I like some of Malmsteen's more melodic neoclassical stuff but I can't stand the guy, complete asshole. Seen Baldy in the CIA (Cardiff Indoor Arena). Was just as awesome as I'd expected. G3 is great although I think they ruined Hendrix's Foxy Lady with doing a heavy version of it. Love Eric Johnson's Manhattan though. Me I'm just a disciple of classic rock! Boston (band) has to be one of my favourites as is Lynard Skynard and the The Byrds, Pink Floyd, The Who, Aerosmith, Tom Petty etc. I've even seen Huey Lewis and the News which was pretty cool. Its funny but I'm only 25; from my taste in music you'd expect me to be a baby boomer like my dad! Dr. Blofeld White cat 16:58, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

- I was curious, I searched and found Khleangs and then I found Baksei Chamkrong; it might have what you're looking for. --Mr Accountable (talk) 11:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
