@NAADAAN tagging you because we were discussing this.

Academic discussion on what commonalities the manifestos have as a group - there's some in the article already but there is a lot of discussion on this topic, so having one paragraph of analysis is not enough
Within constraints of available sourcing, try to add for every entry a brief entry on what the perpetrator says in it, also under what circumstances the manifesto was released in (by perpetrator? by government? leaked?)
Better lead
Possibly add more on reaction/censorship/what effects these tend to have as a group, etc?
See if anyone is missing ig

I added a 'language' column because I think it's useful, also it's often discussed with the far right ones how they usually opt to write their manifestos in English despite not always being from native-English speaking countries. If someone disagrees we can discuss it. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

analysis topics to cover

purposes in writing manifesto
are there any well known categories/academically accepted divisions of them or the like?
law enforcement response
censorship

when there's enough analysis i should probably just rename this "manifestos of mass killers" and keep the list at the bottom PARAKANYAA (talk) 07:14, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
