message: If anyone can provide more sources, that would be great. This article is okay I think. While I don't doubt the statements made here, they cannot all be verified yet. So we need to find more sources to verify them. --Hecktor 10:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This website has a very good amount of pictures. However, I felt that whoever inserted that link may have done that to bring attention to the book (that hasn't been even released yet). And the website's main purpose is to sell a book, so I am removing it. I did, however, added a link to the Earth in Flower article under 'See Also.' --Dara (talk) 11:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing link to Earth in Flower... 

message: There was a sentence contributed by an anonymous editor. He/she wrote it in a way that disparages the status of this art as a UNESCO intangible heritage blah blah. Seems like this stuff is unnecessary so I edited to remove the "hybrid heritage construction" which if you ask me can apply to about any culture (seems like this person feels negative towards Cambodian dance and questioning it's "authenticity"). If you don't agree please tell us your input.
The fact that George Groslier, the French-colonial director of the Phnom Penh Musée Sarraut (today the National Museum), had 're-invented' large parts of the ballet through his studies of the bas-reliefs of Angkor Wat, is part of an indeed hybrid heritage construction called 'Royal Khmer Ballet' which ranks today as 'pure and authentic' heritage on the highly essentialist UNESCO Intangible Heritage List.
I personally, don't care for this UNESCO chatter but I am sure many nationalists do as well as nationalists from other nations (e.g. Thailand). There is no "authenticity" to many refined cultures, they all had to borrow something from somewhere else including Thai dance borrowing elements from other cultures. I agree that there is Thai influence (actually Siamese not modern Thai nation) and that the French (who had direction of the troupe for a period) should be recognized as having affected the art in a way. Though I am not sure to what extent. UNESCO is not an inherent element to cultural heritage and criticism on UNESCO should be written in a different section or article. --Dara (talk) 17:04, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
