Will review this! Comments will probably be finished in the next 72 hours! Interesting topic I must say, I like his singing style. Arconning (talk) 14:47, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reviewing! Two quick notes: first, just linking a comment about this nom on the talk page, acknowledging a little bit of self-consciousness in the nom. :) Second, I'm headed to a conference tomorrow, so probably won't be able to follow up until early next week. Just a heads up. Cheers. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Rhododendrites Noted. :) Arconning (talk) 15:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Rhododendrites I've made a minor copy-edit, hope these can be addressed. Ping me once you're back, I'll give you around 7 days to fix the issues. :) Arconning (talk) 08:22, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Lead and infobox

 * I don't have any issues, just wondering if that country's rock scene of the 1960s and 70s. could be changed to the country's rock scene of the 1960s and 70s.?

Biography

 * he stood out from the typical Cambodian pop music of the time, I'm guessing this is sourced to the documentary?
 * Yes -- it's not a quote, of course, but the sentence tries to summarize both what was in the doc and that Yee source. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The 2015 documentary film Don't Think I've Forgotten,, this was released in 2014.
 * ✅ good catch &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * which profiles Aularong, recounts an exchange between Aularong and the prince, which prince?
 * ✅ &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * a great deal of the information, this is a bit informal it should probably be changed.
 * ✅ changed to "much" &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Mention about the Cambodian royal family should be wikilinked.
 * ✅ &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Musical style

 * Just a question, even when the music itself was more serious. Does this mean the topic or the tone of the songs?
 * ✅ reworded &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Legacy

 * Just wondering, if "romvong" is a proper noun it should be capitalized.
 * It's a good question. Our article, romvong, is inconsistent but most of the instances I found online were not capitalized and I assumed default to genre names not being proper nouns. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:24, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Media

 * Both media used are on a fair use licenses which qualifies.

Refs

 * Since there's a few sources I'm gonna do an in depth source review.
 * 1) Considering it's a documentary that heavily focuses on the topic, it's alright.
 * 2) Soundtracks aren't really reliable sources so that should probably be replaced.
 * It's the liner notes of the documentary's soundtrack, written by the people who made the documentary. IMO it would be just as reliable as the documentary content. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @Rhododendrites Last comment, just wondering if you could make the citation style of this consistent with the others? You could use Template:Cite AV media notes :)) Arconning (talk) 13:14, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * ah, yes. that's better. :) ✅ &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 13:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Broadway Box, this looks like a ticket-selling site for Broadway productions but this certain article looks okay? Happy to talk about it's reliability though.
 * Seems good at a second glance based on the claim.
 * 1) Guardian, alright
 * 2) NYT, alright
 * 3) HuffPost, alright
 * 4) Twin Cities Daily Planet, seems alright.
 * 5) ReBeat, alright.
 * 6) Conditional pass on this source considering it's an academic repository.
 * 7) WFMU, this is a blog which isn't reliable as it's user-generated content.
 * I'd push back on this and argue it's more of a WP:NEWSBLOG -- an official blog from someone at the radio station. It's a well-known radio station that specializes in relatively obscure music. It's not ideal, true, it's not user-generated and it's only used for the track identification (I removed the second instance as unnecessary), and it seems more reliable to use than the alternatives -- discogs, etc. which are indeed user-generated. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) AllMusic, conditional pass again.
 * 2) Public Culture, alright.
 * 3) American Way, this looks like a blog though I'm not entirely sure as it states it was originally posted on the magazine.
 * I think it's safe to call it a blog. The author has a long-time culture/music/arts journalist/writer, so it's an WP:EXPERTSPS. Similar to the WFMU blog, it should be marginally reliable, even if it's not the most ideal. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Diplomat, nice.
 * 2) Discogs isn't a reliable source as it's user-generated content.
 * ✅ Yes, fair. I thought it was usable for the basic claim of existence, but from WP:DISCOGS it looks like I was wrong. I couldn't find a replacement, so I removed that line. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Earwig seems okay.

Misc

 * No ongoing edit war, focused, and broad information considering there's limited info about the subject, neutral.


 * Thanks for the review. Found some downtime to go through this -- I think I've fixed or responded to everything above. Happy to revisit if there's anything else. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 15:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
