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

Thankfull for this info. [Unsigned]

Typhoon Damrey (2017) → Typhoon Damrey – Typhoon Damrey caused desolation to the country of Vietnam. Hundreds of people were killed and it caused quite a lot of damage. INeedSupport (talk) 15:18, 9 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Oppose target is a dab page. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:16, 9 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
Strong Oppose - There are multiple other storms with the same name, several of which also have articles on Wikipedia. Unless this storm has caused catastrophic damage or ends up getting retired (none of which appears to be the case), the practice is to include the year in the title.

You should also note that despite the tragic loss of life, there have been many other typhoons/West Pacific storms that have caused much greater losses. Unless this storm's name gets retired, the storm should have caused at least billions in damages or thousands of deaths, to warrant such a title change.

Oppose per User:LightandDark2000; there are several other typhoons with this name and the reason given to emphasize this one over the others is probably not valid. City Of Silver 20:51, 11 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

It would have been a valid reason had the damage/losses been great enough. However, this is not the case, and there have been many other typhoons (and even tropical storms) that caused significantly more damage than this storm in the same basin.

Oppose per LightandDark2000. While this Damrey has been deadly and caused widespread effects in Vietnam, looking at monetary losses, damage isn't at catastrophic levels (below US$1 billion right now). FWIW this is neither the costliest nor the strongest incarnation of Damrey. ~ KN2731 {t ⋅ c} 08:24, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
