* [[Rape]] Western perspective. Discusses the legal definitions of the U.S. and the UK only. Apart from brief mentions of the social consequences of rape in "societies with strong sexual customs and taboos", and rape as a means of torturing detainees in some countries, the rest of the article deals with the U.S. situation. No mention of the practice of rape as a war crime.
*[[State of Emergency]] <s>only deals with the U.S.A.</s> Still deals mainly with the U.S., although info on other Western democracies have been added. Very little on ongoing SoEs in e.g. Egypt and Syria.
* [[Student activism]] and [[Youth activism]] Deals with the U.S. only. Nothing is said about the leading role students often take in protesting against oppressive societies, as in Czechoslovakia in 1968 (see [[Jan Palach]]), Myanmar (esp. 1988), China ([[Tiananmen Square protests of 1989]]), Iran ([[Iran student protests, July 1999]]), Serbia during Milosevic (see [[Otpor]]) and Indonesia ([[History of Indonesia#Post-Suharto policies|History of Indonesia]]). Also, the student protests of 1968 in places like Paris ([[May 1968]]) and Mexico City ([[Tlatelolco massacre]]) should also be mentioned.
** I've reworked this page to give it a more international scope - US-specific stuff is in its own section now, and I've added a skeletal Indonesia section. More to do - the above is a great (inspiring!) list of places where student activists have (usually) made changes. - [[User:Cdc|Cdc]] 20:10, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
*** I've added a small bit on France. The [[May 1968]] page is extremely thorough so all we need here is a brief overview to show the context of it in student activist history. [[User:Leyanese|Leyanese]] 17:35, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
