Cambodia To-do: edit purge Most of the information on this page is completely unattributed. Needs references very badly!!

Please give Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom in Khmer.

As far as I know, there is no current Unicode standard for Khmer, as the Cambodian government rejected the proposed encoding - effectively keeping their script offline for another few years. You can enter Khmer against the proposed standard but last time I tried I could not find a font which worked correctly. --prat 21:17, 2004 Feb 28 (UTC)

This is incorrect. Unicode encodes Khmer at U+1780 to U+17FF. See [1]. Certainly various people are whining about the standard, but it is still a standard, and the complaints only started after it had been approved. Morwen 21:21, Feb 28, 2004 (UTC)

Sure you can input it, but my (unclear) point was you can't always look at it! --prat 04:56, 2004 Feb 29 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

A beautiful start, though I'm not sure how complete this is. It would be good, I think, to provide a short summary of the architectural styles and significances of the sites, in addition to just providing a link to the deeper article. LordAmeth 14:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] War with the Thai

Somebody has written that some historians believe the Thai found Angkor devastated by an "infestation" as opposed to conquering it. I have not heard this theory. Somebody should support it with a footnote citing sources, or the paragraph advancing the theory should be deleted. DoktorMax (talk) 04:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
