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

Overall: recently created, QPQ done, interesting hook that is cited. Looks good to go, but please expand the lede a little bit. Makeandtoss (talk) 13:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Robertsky and PSA: An article with a lede that short would deserve {{lead too short}}, so yeah, what Makeandtoss said.--Laun chba ller 09:07, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Expanded the lead, sought to provide an overview without simply repeating country by country. CMD (talk) 07:46, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better, although I've just noticed that the Laos and Malaysia sections are pretty short. Possibly worth merging into something like 'Other countries'?--Laun chba ller 07:55, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about merging countries, I would expect those sections to be where the article might grow (and where editors who click on DYKs might be tempted to pitch in?). There is some specific reporting, for example Reliefweb page on Malaysia. CMD (talk) 08:08, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still think that (at least) the Malaysia section could be expanded somewhat (in fact I'm pretty sure it would deserve {{expand}}).--Laun chba ller 10:28, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think they could probably all be expanded, but isn't that the nature of DYKs? Added a summary of the ReliefWeb at any rate. CMD (talk) 05:49, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Works a treat. My concern has been resolved.--Laun chba ller 11:34, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
