Let’s Start Standardizing Spelling and Photos[edit]

We need to maintain spelling consistency and be more aligned with what is used in known Cambodian newspapers and has general consensus from the Cambodian community, which is currently “Nom banh chok”.

We should reserve the top and centered photos that represent the standard dishes stated within the description. Photos should at least be a close representation of the dish to be called a variation in the article. I will start removing and correcting the spelling.

Tagging @SamMastre97: as the editor who renamed this page to "Num banhchok". Not sure what you mean about the photos though, because there are no Wikipedia rules on that. The only reason the Num Banh Chok Somlar Kari photo is so high up and "centered" is the relatively long infobox and short text. –Turaids (talk) 12:31, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thon Chey legend[edit]

The removed source refers to it as "a popular Khmer folk legend", while another source decribes the legend as "[o]ne of the most enduring stories". A number of other articles (Cambodgemag, ASEAN News, Leisure Cambodia, Washoku) mention Thon Chey in relation to the legendary origin of num banhchok, and the legend is also retold in a Cambodian book about Thon Chey. This contradicts @Cerie1914's claim that "[t]his is not a popular or known folklore by Cambodians" or is "story told by a few", while their comments about the narrative supposedly "going against the common elements valued in Cambodian folklore" (disrespect against royalty?) or it being a "fake folklore that referenced a blog that painted Khmers as "xenophobic"" makes it, again, seem like a case of WP:CENSOR. Thoughts, @Netherzone, @Schazjmd, @Royal Autumn Crest, @Justiyaya (tagging everyone involved in the last dispute)? –Turaids (talk) 13:35, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Restore the Folklore section - The folklore section should be restored along with its associated citations, as well as any additional citations. The last stable version was 19:43, 19 April 2023. Content should be based on what the sources say, not on the personal opinion of one editor. Netherzone (talk) 14:26, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
