Some of the more interesting pages that I've started:


 * Consensus government - A bit of a stub, but it's interesting to see how politics works without political parties.
 * Post-truth politics – Trying to pin down the meaning of the latest buzzword.
 * Bpoplive - Back when it seemed like the worst lies in the EU referendum campaign would be about the line-up of a music festival.
 * Birthday effect - A birthday can be deadly
 * Henderson's - Not the delicious sauce but an anarchist bookshop better known as the Bomb Shop
 * Hugh Franklin (suffragist) - Whipper of Winston Churchill, burner of trains, and uncle to Rosalind Franklin.
 * Fanny Murray - An 18th century prostitute who invented a hat and became part of a constitutional crisis. An early example of famous for being famous.
 * Hessian cuisine - Apple-wine, vinegar, sour cheese and boiled pork.
 * Gang War - A film no-one has seen for decades, originally attached to one of the famous films of all time.
 * Loose wheel nut indicator - A case of "I wondered what these were, perhaps other people do too."
 * Road slipperiness - Exactly what it says on the can.
 * Pingelap - A small atoll deep in the Pacific Ocean, where 10% of the population is totally colour-blind.
 * Kasongo Ilunga - A DR Congolese politician who apparently doesn't actually exist.
 * Chester city walls - My username explains the interest...
 * Funeral train - Back in the day, catching the train to your own funeral was a thing that happened.
 * Roald Dahl Plass - Perhaps familiar to Doctor Who fans and Torchwood fans (if any still exist).
 * List of Friends characters - Of all the articles I started, this is certainly now the longest.
 * Vindaloo (song) - In retrospect, I should have never created this article and let the song fade into blissful oblivion.
 * Hawarden Airport - Where one of the world's largest planes flies from, and another sails from.
 * Dogs Trust - Inventors of "A dog is for life, not just for Christmas".
 * British Rail flying saucer - Worth it for the title alone.
 * Puddle - Hard to believe this didn't exist before.
 * Cheshire Phoenix - Back when they were Chester Jets. Chester has a weakness for phoenix clubs, it seems.

 * Blockupy movement (expanded)
