Research page is for contributing to and starting research projects.
Research in Wikipedia
These need most work:
- w:List of company registers (Currently listing FI,IE,PK,SE)
- w:List of trade unions (Currently listing only UK, AU, FI)
- w:List of employer associations (Currently a stub with some info on AU, FI, ME, UK)
- w:List of tariffs
- w:Lists of companies
- w:List of who owns what (a skeleton at the moment)
- w:Economy of Earth (contains some interesting stuff, but it's not organised)
- w:Mandatory labelling
These haven't even been started:
- w:List of advertisement agencies (by country) (doesn't exist now)
- w:List of association registers (doesn't exist now)
- w:List of ethical funds (doesn't exist now)
- w:List of non-governmental organisations (doesn't exist now)
These are fairly complete:
- w:List of professions (very complete)
- w:List of stock exchanges (very complete)
- w:List of supermarkets
- w:List of reference tables Please check this out if you can think of some list that is not included here
Other articles:
- w:Fair trade
- w:Safe trade
- w:Global EAN Party Information Register (GEPIR)
- w:GLN (doesn't exist now)
- w:Gross Global Product (doesn't exist now)
- w:Ethical investing
- w:Resin_identification_code (codes for plastic packaging and their recycling)
- w:SSCC (doesn't exist now)
- w:Trade block
- w:Trade bloc consisting of lots of ecoregions
- w:Wikipedia:WikiProject_Ecoregions
If you find something interesting in Wikipedia that seems to be complete (no need to research it further) please put it in Interesting articles in Wikipedia

Research in Meta-Wikipedia
- m:Geospatial reference this just started and it's very important for proper utilization of Wikipedia for our content - includes most of m:spacetime_DTD but should also mention m:ecoregion_DTD for XML-based exchange with other services (insane to exchange data in anything but XML)
- Simple View of Ethics and Morals which even trolls understand
- Twelve leverage points for making Wikipedia work better - there are now equivalents for Consumerium
Ownership
By country
- Research/AU/How to find out who owns what (needs work, a stub)
- Research/CA/How to find out who owns what
- Research/DE/How to find out who owns what (just a note that stock holdings are not public)
- Research/FI/How to find out who owns what (fairly complete, needs details)
- Research/FR/How to find out who owns what
- Research/UK/How to find out who owns what
- Research/US/How to find out who owns what
...

Research in Disinfopedia
- truth and propaganda - what is our standard of evidence?
- propaganda techniques used to spin or otherwise promote evil
- bad sysops who destroy projects by trying to "save" them
- bad philosophy that creates bad political economy
Research in Wiktionary
Translation work will begin soon in Wiktionary. I'll start a word and glossary list of what needs to be translated there just as soon as I figure out how do it properly.
Research sources
Useful resources in doing research
The w:Open Directory Project at http://dmoz.org. The Open Directory Project is the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web. It is constructed and maintained by a vast, global community of volunteer editors. The contents are licensed under Open Directory License, which is a restrictive form of an w:Open content license.
Google offers a more sophisticated view to the contents of http://dmoz.org so here are some useful directories
