Talk:Monarchy of Cambodia

Untitled 2000s comments
By analogy with King of England, etc, the list is at Kings of Cambodia, and King of Cambodia links there. Noel 15:06, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Why did you move Kings of Cambodia to King of Cambodia, after I had explicitly pointed out on Talk:Kings of Cambodia that Wikipedia precedent was to use the form "Kings of X" (or "List of Kings of X")? Look at Category:Lists of office-holders - there's only one, in that whole list, of the form "King of X". Noel 16:04, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)

There is no such precendent. By creating a redirect at King of Cambodia you discourage people from writing a comprehensive article on the office, in addition to the list. The current policy is to use singular unless it's in the form of "List of Kings...". There are articles at President of the United States and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, not Presidents of the United States or Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. ---Jiang 03:36, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be "List of Kings..." because it is merely a list? I believe (stop me if I'm wrong) that unless it is specifically a list there should be descriptive information on the subject, in this case Kings of Cambodia. Super Jedi Droid 00:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand...
who was the Head of State from 20 november 1991 to 14 june 1993, the Chairmen of the Council of State or the Chairman of the Supreme National Council? The whole idea of this kind of list is giving only the name of the one Head of State for a single period of time, and we have three different names under two different titles here... --Damifb (talk) 12:04, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Champa
Champa is part of Cambodian history nor it located in present-dat Cambbodia. 71.107.79.64 (talk) 22:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

between angkor and oudong
it's a mess and I guess "Kingdom of Charktomok" is rather fictional... (I mean why using the Thai names first of all?) do you have any decent reference to recommend? --Riccardo.fabris (talk) 10:28, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

1393 or 1431?
I do not really understand this list. The last king, Ponhea Yat, reigns after this list from 1393 to 1463, which is 70 years. In 1393 there is said to have been a Siamese invasion. However, on his wiki page, Ponhea Yat, is said to have taken the throne in 1431, which is consistent with history. In 1431 the king left Angkor and went to the south after a Siamese invasion. He reigned up to 1463, followed then by his son. If so, why his son takes the throne in 1421 after the list here? Mahaparvata (talk) 02:31, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Unclear sources
Hi! I just created Cambodian Royal Chronicles which brought me here. There are lots of manuscripts and sources with conflicting dates - even to the extent that historians rely to foreign data - e.g. Siamese chronicles. still, though it might be a good idea to explain the issue in a short paragraph.

All the best! Wikirictor (talk) 07:24, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Merger of Supreme Commander of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces
Propose merge, as this article describes a power that is always vested in the monarch. It does not appear to add much as a standalone article. Garuda28 (talk) 20:00, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Huh?
"The king is elected for life from among the members of the Norodom and Sisowath bloodline who are at least 30 years old by the Royal Council of the Throne, which consists of several senior political and religious figures."

So... Which is it? Is the king elected by royal family members over the age of thirty or is he elected by nine political and religious figures?2605:8D80:400:AE83:34EE:94E:8E09:34EE (talk) 05:57, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

The meaning seems clear to me. The King has to be one of the royal family members (from the Norodom or Sisowath branches of the royal family) and be at least 30. He is selected by the Royal Council, which consists of several senior political and religious figures. Mathmannix (talk) 18:34, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Barom II and Borom II
There are two Barom Reachea II in this article, the earlier one ruled in 1431–1463, while the other ruled in 1597–1599. It makes sense for the earlier one to be Borom Reachea II since there is a Borom Reachea I before him, ruling in 1363–1373. While the latter Barom Reachea II sits between Barom Reachea I (r. 1566–1576) and Barom Reachea III (r. 1599–1600). This is likely a minor spelling typo written during the early writing up of this article. The first Barom II should be Borom II, with an "o". Danial Bass (talk) 20:29, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Clarification on "ditto" edit
Just before my "ditto" edit, my edit summary was "make reign year consistent with king's page" but an edit conflict with an IP's edit caused my edit to be cancelled, I didnt know this, so when I re-edited I thought my previous edit with that statement was there.

Royal Regalia
The royal regalia of Cambodia (Kreoung Banjakkodapoan, Khmer:គ្រឿងបញ្ចកុធភ័ណ្ឌ) was originally created during the Angkorean Era and was strictly regulated and protected by the royal Brahmin priests. It is made of 2kg of gold and 2000 diamonds. It was said that when King Srey Chettha II (Sdach Kon) illegally overthrew Preah Bat Srey Sokunbat in the 16th century in an attempt to establish a new dynasty, the Brahmin priests took the royal regalia with them and hid it inside a koki tree in the Tonle Bati District of Takéo province. The king sent his companions around the country to search for it but failed. It was only returned later when King An Chan I, heir apparent to Srey Sokunbat’s throne, successfully defeated Sdach Korn in 1516. Sadly, the original royal regalia was lost during the period of Khmer Civil War (1970-1991). After the establishment of the second kingdom, the new royal regalia was ordered to be crafted by a famous sculptor, Som Samai. It is currently kept inside the Pavilion of Somreut Pimean inside the Royal Palace under the cares of the royal Brahmin priests. 202.62.50.169 (talk) 07:15, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

 * From May 1 to May 4, someone changed all links on this page to point to Cambodia Wikipedia. This is English Wikipedia and users here cannot read Cambodian. I wonder why he did that. Acolex2 (talk) 17:07, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
