Suryavarman II (reference article)

This is Wikipedia's reference article on Suryavarman II, the twelfth century Khmer king who commissioned Angkor Wat as his state temple, most likely dedicated to Vishnu. As a perpetually community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, it is a reasonable source for standard, uncontroversial biographical detail, dates and common definitions concerning the king's reign. Its limit is structural rather than a comment on this article's present accuracy: Wikipedia has no fixed authorship and its content is open to change at any time by any editor, so a contested or specialist claim, such as a disputed point of Angkor Wat's precise religious dedication or construction chronology, questions actively debated among Khmer studies specialists, needs a scholarly source engaging that debate directly rather than this general encyclopedia article.
