 * Can we please get to the bottom of Dorothy Dandridge's involvement in the U.S. Civil Rights Era? A rumor has been circulating that she dipped her toe in the pool at the Hotel Last Frontier in Vegas after she performed there for two weeks, but the veracity of this claim is hard to pin down, especially with Snopes saying it may or may not be true.  Perhaps you have some resources to bring to bear on the matter. --  ke4roh (talk) 00:18, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Seeking help with Lever Brothers, a company that used forced labour extensively in the Belgian Congo. I want to expand it but another editor who has threatened to either block me or have be blocked keeps deleting large passages seemingly at random.
 * Can someone help with review of draft article about Omar Alshogre, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Omar_Alshogre), survivor and advocate for justice for prisoners in Syria? There is a similar page in French Wikipedia but nothing yet in English where it would be more helpful. Probonostockholm (talk) 11:37, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
 * can someone make an independent article about the mass human rights abuse in Turkey against Kurds?
