File talk:Preah Vihear Temple.png
Can someone fix this?[edit]
This map bugs me a bit, since it shows the dot of the Preah Vihear Temple as being entirely within the borders of Cambodia.
Compare it to the push-pin map based on latitude and longitude:
| Preah Vihear Temple | |
|---|---|
| Religion | |
| Affiliation | Hinduism |
| Location | |
| Geographic coordinates | 14°23′31″N 104°40′48″E / 14.39194°N 104.68000°E |
See? It makes you wonder what the border clash is all about! Can the dot on this map be moved so that it straddles the border?

In 1962, following a significant dispute between Thailand and Cambodia over ownership of the temple, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague ruled that the temple belonged to Cambodia. Also Thailand was under an obligation to withdraw any military or police forces, or other guards or keepers, stationed by her at the Temple, or in its vicinity on Cambodian territory.

Um, you obviously failed to see the point. I don't care about who legally should control the place, I'm pointing out the map on the left makes it appear as if the temple is well within the borders of Cambodia, whereas the one on the right shows it right on the border with Thailand, which it appears to be. Thus, the map on the left is misleading, and perhaps even biased, and the dot should be moved to better reflect reality, i.e. the map on the right. TuckerResearch (talk) 08:28, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
