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

Unreliable source

This book makes extensive references to one source: Thai Clothing: Sabai, Thai-Style Dresses, Phra Kiao, Thai Fisherman Pants (Books LLC, ISBN: 9781158488735). This source is, at best, questionable, and appears to be an extract of Wikipedia articles. (I.e. this article is using an external copy of itself as a reference.) Are better sources available?? WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:08, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've just done a rewrite of the article, and it appears the book does plagiarise from Wikipedia, so I've treated it as an unreliable source and removed it as part of the larger reorganisation and clean-up effort. I hope it looks better now. Epistulae ad Familiares (talk) 06:53, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be careful of the use of the term "plagiarise". It is well within the Wikipedia terms of use to copy sections of the encyclopedia for independent publication, as long as the original Wikipedia articles are acknowledged within the book. Books LLC has apparently made a business of this. That said, I appreciate your efforts to clean up the article from more reliable sources.

Thank you for the advice! I take back the part about plagiarism. I will be more cautious and precise about my choice of words. Epistulae ad Familiares (talk) 07:02, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move request

I think the Sbai article should be moved to Shawl-like garments. I feel that the current Sbai article places too much emphasis on its connection to Cambodia, and I also found the sources in the Cambodia section to be unreliable.Tmaoa492s (talk) 13:21, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The concern, that the title following the Cambodian term does not reflect the international scope of the article, is a valid one. A neutral English-language term should be preferred if one exists and is commonly used by reliable sources, but "Shawl-like garment" is neither recognisable nor specific enough. Museum collections seem to either use "breast cloth"[1] or "shoulder cloth"[2], but neither of these are specific to the form found in Mainland Southeast Asia. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:34, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree, it should remain as is. The terminology 'sbai' can be compared to 'sari', and is deserving of its own page, just as sari has it's own. Sbai and variants of the word are the majority pronunciation for the garment. Shawl-like garments is too broad and removes the historical importance of sbai in Southeast Asia.

Ang Mey pic was in "1866".

First Khmer woman wearing sbai's pic is Ang mey's pic which was photographed by Emile Gsell in 1866. While First Siamese woman wearing sbai was Rama IV's wife photographed by Pierre Joseph Rossier in 1861. MTha8456 (talk) 14:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of Sbai word

Add root of Sbai word from Austronesian Comparative Dictionary [3]https://www.trussel2.com/ACD/acd-s_s1.htm#9620 Rui.orfao (talk) 05:44, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further examination of the roots of the term sabai found that the term originates from the Austronesian languages, which contracted from the terms sapay (Formosan), sebai (Malay), and sabai, respectively. Your proposal backed by the most reliable source from the Proto-Austronesian Phonology of Cornell University Southeast Asia Program (SEAP). Quantplinus (talk) 09:59, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
