Needs reference[edit]

I wrote most of the article (in 2005) using information from former King, Norodom Sihanouk's website. I think we can assume most of the information there would be true, but it's not a very academic way writing articles. And articles with no citations are not well regarded. So if you have the time, please help out with this article. --Dara 17:49, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Romanization of Bopha/Buppha[edit]

When I created this page, I went with what I thought was the most common or best romanization of her name. But on Norodom Sihanouk's website, her name way more often written as Buppha Devi. While Bopha is the common way to say it, it is actually suppose to be pronounced more inline with Pali. This is the case with the names Sihanouk and Sihamoni. They are not suppose to be pronounced like "Seihamoni" or "Seihanouk" even though in Khmer, Si is actually pronounced "Sey/Sei." If someone have the time, please move this to Norodom Buppha Devi. --Dara (talk) 23:44, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In Julio A. Jeldres book, it is spelled Norodom Buppha Devi. In Earth and Flower, by Paul Cravath, it is spelled Buppha Devi. UNESCO also spells her name as Buppha Devi. Etc. Please stop reverting it back to Bopha Devi. That spelling is used, yes, and is acknowledged in the article, but that is not how the royal authority spells her name. --Dara (talk) 03:18, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
