Requests for Further Scholarship

As suggested by our colleague Andronicus Paulicus, this page will be for recommendations for further avenues of research that come to light during these proceedings. If an article mentions something that you would be interested to hear more about, or if during your own research you come across an intriguing topic that, alas, pressures of time prevent you from investigating for yourself, feel free to speak up here.

Such suggestions will, of course, not count as phantoms per se, and will not be part of the regular dibsing process, but it is recommended that you make a note if you do decide to follow up a topic suggested here, so that there are no collisions of research, as it were. Also, based on what appeared to be the general consensus in the Baneship discussion, I will rule that these suggestions should be treated as phantoms in that the scholar who originally brings such a concept to light in one of their articles should not be the one to write this new article, unless no-one else appears willing to write it. All standard restrictions against citing your own work will still apply. Rifflesby 05:20, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

I believe that the Prison Circuses of Levi VI might be worth some additional research. Erasmus Stufflesby 06:40, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

I would like to solicit an article on the Farthingside Brotherhood of Explorers. Euphonious G. Emelicker 17:26, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Furthermore! I would like to solicit an OOC page, or possibly an addition to Harlan's Harrican's page, that contains overall emerging information about the universe (what can I say; I'm an old, old man and I forget things), such as:


 * Overall timeline of key dates

Your assistance in keeping an old man's sanity somewhat intact is much appreciated. Euphonious G. Emelicker 14:00, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Universal standards of measurement (money = Terran credits? calendar for representing dates within a year? etc.)

Sounds like a solid plan, old chum. I myself was thinking of making a page listing planets and locations mentioned but not covered by their own pages.Andronicus Paulicus 14:10, July 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Who's this Harlan fellow? Isn't that the name of one of the lizard-babies that Herr Messerschmidt was rambling about the other day? --Malaclypse the Elder 15:07, July 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's right, kick an old man when he's down! Euphonious G. Emelicker 21:08, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

Those sound like useful ideas. Anyone who has an odd moment and would like to set up those pages, I say go for it. I'll unlock the Harrican page so people can add updates to that as well -- my original plan of handling that bookkeeping on my own seems to have run aground on the shoals of I'm Incredibly Lazy.

 * Apparently this has already happened. Well done! Rifflesby 00:19, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
