I'm interested in reviewing this later today if nobody beats me to it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:53, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting life and career, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. T like bits from the hooks, but would prefer a combination of the languages with the Khmer Rouge, - would you be willing? We normally don't link common languages such as French. In the article, you have a sentence that has "prosecutor" and variants 4 times, - please drop 1 or 2 ;) (The following sentence has a 5th.) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:58, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, didn't know the one with the wls, but makes sense. I also don't get the one with the prosecutor and variants but I have the feeling it is about the first cases in which she was a prosecutor? I added some more ALTs.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:09, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I left 3 options, preferring ALT3. I trust that you will be able to remove 2 or 3 prosec... from "As a prosecutor she was described as a "tough-minded" prosecutor, and "If she was prosecuting, you knew you were prosecuted".[2] She led the prosecution ..." --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:21, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
