what are some obscure history facts

Meaningful discussion outside of the potato gun realm. Projects, theories, current events. Non-productive discussion will be locked.

You can contribute to historical knowledge by:
1. Editing Wikipedia (add/correct historical content).
2. Transcribing documents via Zooniverse or Smithsonian Digital Volunteers.
3. Writing articles or blogs about historical topics.
4. Volunteering at museums, libraries, or local history projects.
5. Joining online history communities like r/AskHistorians on Reddit.

Let me know which area of history interests you most, and I can suggest more specific ways to contribute!

I really appreciate your sharing but changing the wikipedia is not that easy, to put it simply you can change it but less than 1 minute later the admin will fix it again

You could host a history fair in your local community and offer prizes to encourage participation.
Praise is more encouraging than criticism.
