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)


 * Landmines Massacre? SOHR Facebook, Dec 27
 * Reef Dimashq: Tens of Islamist rebel fighters were killed by a regime ambush at dawn today near the town of Qastal and the historic town of Ma'loula, 20 rebels were injured by the ambush with no reports of regime losses so far. Reports that 15 people were killed by landmines in the area between Yabrud and al-Nabek.
 * Me:
 * 15 people in a day killed by land mines requires explaining that's all but impossible to provide. Anyone been complaining about alleged landmines lately? Suspects for blowing some people they hate up with grenades or whatever actually happened.


 * Abbas Khan: BBC News, Dec 27:
 * An inquest into the death of a British doctor who died in a Syrian prison has been opened and adjourned. Syrian authorities believe Abbas Khan hanged himself in his prison cell, Walthamstow Coroners Court heard.Mr Khan died days before he was due to be released, and his family believe he was murdered by the Syrian regime. 
 * The UK Foreign Office has said Mr Khan, who died earlier this month, was "in effect murdered".
 * "In effect mordered," as far as I can tell, is a rather loaded way of saying "violently killed by himself or someone else," with a strong and probably unfounded suggestion it's the latter. --Caustic Logic (talk) 13:58, 28 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)
