Other research

Suggested or rudimentary other research
The biggest, best, or most important pages at the wiki tend to be linked from the front page,, the sidebar, and elsewhere. The following includes a semi-comprehensive list of other, more obscure pages, along with ones thought of and noted but waiting to even be started (red links). The pages up range from stubs to pretty impressive, but aren't very well linked into other pages and kind of floating by themselves. Some have developed and might graduate to more prominent placement. Feel free to click a red link and follow the prompt to create a page, if you know a little about it and can start sharing links. Or propose more red links for someone else to start. Why not?

New Suggestions (2014)
(it's not 2014 but close enough) I decided to revive this old page, especially now that there's more of a community than there once was. And I have a subject I'm not ready to really deal with but that might deserve a page. There's been a big enough gap I feel new suggestions deserve a whole new fresh spot. What to do with the rest is another story. --Caustic Logic (talk) 14:10, 17 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Aleppo "explosive barrel massacre" - starting material: SOHR Facebook post, Dec. 15 SOHR 14 children killed in the explosive barrels massacre
 * Aleppo city: 22 civilians, including 14 children, were killed by the regime helicopter bombardment, using explosive barrels, on the Haydariya area, Ard al-Hamra and al-Sakhour. The number of those killed by this morning's bombardment is likely to rise due to the large number of people severely injured. Helicopters also bombarded the Salhin neighbourhood and parts of the Tariq al-Bab, Karm al-Beik, Qadi Askar and al-Firdous neighbourhoods, near a field hospitals being used as a base by rebel groups.

Video is provided for two other airstrikes in Aleppo, but not this one. In comments, I mentioned needing to see the bodies (when "regime supporters" were asked to explain). A commentator there shared a video للإعلام مجزرة ضمير 8 شهداء وهناك المزيد لطفك يارررب2013 12 15 mirror (Gtrans: media massacre conscience 8 martyrs and there's more for your kindness Aarrrb 2013 1215 ) As I said in response:
 * Inconclusive. Those five aren't blown-up. They were somewhere smoky, seemingly hadn't changed clothes in a while, and people near them may have been blown up. I can see a lot of causes. I might start a page on this. I just looked at the Khalidiya massacre, Feb. 2012, might color my thinking. Regime shelling killed 138 people in 36 destroyed homes Feb 3/4, whole families just living there. But some were recognized as people taken captive by the rebels (allegedly, by locals who'll talk to SANA), and according to rebel records, the 138 victims are 100% male and 94% adult. That's prisoner segregation there. So who blew those prisoners up in their prison(s) in a rebel-held district of Homs? And don't dare look into the "Aqrab Massacre," vis-a-vis "regime shelling" killing prisoners in a smoky house. --Caustic Logic (talk) 14:10, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Other Other

 * Attack on Wadi Khaled and Heesha (Lebanon) late Februaruy, 2013
 * The shooting-down of the fighter jet over northern Damascus, Feb. 20 or so, is an issue worth looking at. Hight death tolll from that aerial bombing, rather arbitrary too. Almost a like a shot-down jet crashing down was mixed into the toll. Powerful argument for better AA weapons for the rebels. Allahu akbar, that's indiscriminate. Will set a link when I figure out even which neighborhood it hit. A video still shows smoke in the streets with tallish buildings. --Caustic Logic (talk) 12:48, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
