Spelling
The page uses two different spellings, about 50/50: Is there a standard to guide us in which one to use? --Thnidu (talk) 21:52, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Steung Treng
 * Stung Treng
 * Most Khmer vowels and many consonants have no equivalent in English and, unfortunately, there is no universal standard for transliteration. There are a few systems in use, but none faithfully represent the sounds of Khmer. I prefer the romanization used by Huffman and Proum in Cambodian System of Writing (1970) as it is the most clear and least ambiguous but it requires a few non-standard latin characters such as "ə", for example. The Khmer vowel sound in question here is, which is usually transliterated as "eu" because "u" is used for . But steung is a common place name element (meaning "river") and is haphazardly spelled however the author feels like in the moment. Even government sources aren't consistent.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 01:35, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

Numbers?
What's the meaning of the numbers 1901 – 1905 before the names of the districts? There is no explanation. I have commented them out in the HTML. -- Thnidu (talk) 22:05, 25 July 2015 (UTC)


 * See ISO 3166-2:KH. They are the international standard numbers. The ISO number for Stung Treng Province is 19 and the districts of a province are assigned 4-digit codes beginning with the province code: 1901, 1902, etc.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 22:20, 25 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your prompt reply. However, there is still no explanation on the page, nor, I suspect, on the pages of the other provinces. I suggest a hatnote to transclude into the corresponding sections of all such articles with a brief explanation and link. --Thnidu (talk) 22:27, 25 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, an explanation would be helpful. What you suggest would work, or we could format the data as a table and link to ISO 3166-2:KH in the column title as was done in the Provinces of Cambodia article.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 22:32, 25 July 2015 (UTC)


 * A hatnote or something similar could be implemented once with a simple template and applied to all the province pages. A table would be a lot more work and would need to be done separately for every province. I vote for ease of implementation.
 * What's more, the country prefix "KH" could be a parameter, allowing the template to be used for other countries whose comparable administrative subdivision pages show ISO 3166-*-* numbers. --Thnidu (talk) 02:35, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm also annotating the "possible sources" § above. Should that also be transcluded, to the other province talk pages? --Thnidu (talk) 02:49, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
