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.

Why is there no page on it? More systemic bias? - 175.138.104.160 (talk) 02:32, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Probably yes. We have an article on the Water Festival, but that happens in April; nothing on this festival that seems to congregate a significant proportion of the Cambodian population in Phnom Penh in November. Physchim62(talk) 02:35, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A big yes to systemic bias but also a yes to an article on the festival - adding the link now. --Paxse (talk) 02:39, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Bon Om Thook--it's a pretty crappy article, but it's there. C628 (talk) 02:46, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
At least it's there! Any background information is a service to our readers, as can be seen by the news agency reports coming out of Phnom Penh on this tragedy... Physchim62(talk) 02:55, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That Water Festival article wrongly equated Bon Om Touk to Cambodian New Year in April. Fixed it. Scatterman (talk) 04:48, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Good job springing into action with diligence. I haven't seen anything like this as far as non-Anglophone topics are concerned for a while. - 175.138.104.160 (talk) 10:36, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That water festival article probably shouldn't exist, since those acts are part of the new year celebrations in Southeast Asia, namely Thailand, Laos, and Burma. To me, the Water Festival article is a few paragraphs of disambiguation. On the other hand, the water festival celebrations that occurs in November in Phnom Penh probably deserves it's own article since it's quite a big spectacle with the main attraction being boat racing. This only occurs in Phnon Penh because the boat racing is done in front of the Royal Palace where the Mekong reverses into the Tonle Sap. There's even a pavilion there that is specifically for the King to sit and watch the boat racing. This festival is where hundreds of thousands, if not millions, gather to the capital join the festivities. Maybe it should be titled something along the lines of 'Phnom Penh Water Festival Celebrations'. In other parts of the country, the water festival is a merit-making holiday, includes Loy Pratip (see http://jinja.apsara.org/2007/11/loy-pratip-2007/) with the same basis as Loi Krathong in Thailand. There is also the Sampeah Preah Khe ritual, paying homage to the moon. During this time, there is actually several different ceremonies/rituals and festivities occuring. --Dara (talk) 10:58, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I called it a "human stampede" in the lead, if you think further clarification is needed, feel free to go ahead and add it. Cheers, C628 (talk) 00:01, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
