Old comment

This article has no mention of US, Thai and UN support to the Khmer Rouge against the Vietnamese-sponsored Cambodian government after the Khmer Rouge had been driven from power - this is both a serious gap in the history of Cambodia and also a serious NPOV problem. Given that the content in the article is taken from the Library of Congress Country Studies an omission of American assistance to the Khmer Rouge is perfectly understandable, nonetheless to maintain NPOV this needs to be radically revised. --Ce garcon 07:41, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I moved this comment here from Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Politics. I'm leaving it up to more knowledgeable editors to figure out if it is a legitimate point that requires addressing in this or some other article. -- Beland (talk) 03:34, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss the Subject, Not the Source

I am removing the italicised sentence under WP:BOLD (italics added): After establishing the historical and ideological context as the backdrop, Hinton delves deeper into the complexities of perpetrator motivation through using both macro- and micro-level analyses to uncover how ideology is linked to psychocultural processes. Under the Khmer Rouge, the encroachment of the public sphere into that which was once private space made constant group-level interactions. Within these spaces, cultural models such as face, shame, and honour were adapted to Khmer Rouge notions of social status and bound up with revolutionary consciousness. The italicised sentence does not actually deal with the subject of the article, Democratic Kampuchea, but with how the RS evaluated the subject. I cannot find a specific WP policy that addresses this situation, but I do not feel it is encyclopaedic wording. I am absolutely willing to be overruled on that belief, but please discuss it here before reverting. If you feel the sentence is critical to understanding Democratic Kampuchea, please explain why and (preferably) propose wording that would move the focus to the subject itself.
