This article is certainly required on Wikipedia - I find it difficult to understand how anyone could tag this for speedy deletion - is seeking some form of justice for the crimes of one of the most notorious regimes in modern history somehow not notable enough? Paxse 18:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A mess
The articles on Cambodia are really a mess. A large part of this article has nothing to do with the Cambodia Tribunal, and belongs, if anywhere, in Khmer Rouge. On the other hand, in the Khmer Rouge article data on the tribunal are given which really belong here.
Moreover, there are articles on: *Democratic Kampuchea, *Communist Party of Kampuchea, *Party of Democratic Kampuchea, *National Army of Democratic Kampuchea, *Communist Youth League of Kampuchea. There is a tremendous overlap. I suspect that the paragraph 'Background' should be removed here at least. But a further clean-up is certainly needed. Paul kuiper NL 16:32, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- At least in THIS article the clean-up has been done. I have removed 'Background' and updated the data on the Tribunal. This article is now certainly better. But much more remains to be done about the other articles on Cambodia. Paul kuiper NL 15:29, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hey Paul, welcome to the Cambodia articles and thanks for your great work on this one. The mess is my fault. I expanded this article very roughly with a couple of quick cut and pastes from other W'pedia articles mentioning the tribunal. At the time it was a new article created by a new editor that was tagged for speedy deletion. Some additional text and some references were needed quickly to save it from extinction. I hoped somebody would rewrite and sort out the mess with more relevant info - which you've now done. Good job! Cheers, Paxse 03:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hallo Paxse, thanks for this comment. I had been wondering what had caused so much double text to be in existence in these articles, so I appreciate your explanation. Another idea that I have is that the title of this article might better be: Cambodia Tribunal. Bye, Paul kuiper NL 02:41, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be named Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia? Tkelly7
[edit] Remove the sub-section titled 'The Hearing'
I propose that the sub-section titled 'The Hearing' be either removed or significantly rewritten. While the hearings are on-going, there is not enough distance of time to assess whether every little blip in the media about what is happening at the hearing is worth writing about for this Wikipedia entry. Instead of documenting every twist and turn in the long road to the completion of the hearing, I suggest that we wait for the trial to be completed before writing a paragraph or two about what happened during the trial. -- Thaths (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
