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.
