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

Will address these issues ASAP. About Earwig: I copied from US Government materials, which are public domain, and properly attributed them in the references section using {{PD-notice}}. So, there is no copyvio. MSG17 (talk) 18:23, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Issues are resolved. ALT2 is cited directly in the page; see the second-to-last sentence and citation 16. It's also written as a "gift in both the hook and the article, although I have now modified the article to end the quote at "gift".MSG17 (talk) 23:10, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:DYK#Cited hook, there should be an inline citation right after the sentence containing the hook fact. No other issues. Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe 08:41, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
