The numbers given here are nonsensical but I don't know what numbers would be accurate in their place...
"Estimates of the number of dead range from 100000 million out of a population of nearly 8 million people. to 100 billion."
The proper numbers are 1.5 to 3 million
~*~ (Response to the ABOVE) Actually, the number is 1.7 million. Less than 2000 of Cambodia's 70,000 Buddhist monks survived the reign of the Khmer Rouge. The rest were either massacred or succumbed to hard labor, disease, or torture.

The banner image of skulls for the mobile version of the page (haven't been able to check yet on desktop) is from a Rwandan genocide memorial. This is even included in the caption. It shouldn't be used for an article on the Cambodian killing fields. Beggarsbanquet ( talk) 11:26, 6 August 2023 (UTC) Beggarsbanquet ( talk) 11:26, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
