Thanks for the thorough reply.

Having put some thought to it, I reckon what I really need to do is to sit down and pour the contents of my brain out into the written word and then chase down the relevant sources rather than having a head full of facts and trying to make sense of all of it in my mind.

I think what I might do as a start is to create a specific community and drop posts with citations into there and then I will either look at learning the ropes with ProleWiki or I'll start shaping those disparate posts into a document. If I don't manage to get that far, at least with the posts that I'll draft with relevant citations will be fair game if a ProleWiki editor wants to take my work and incorporate it into entries there.

I think by the time I'm done it will be worthwhile having dedicated entry on Makhnovia because, although the historical scholarship is pretty sparse (and there's a few primary sources that are in Russian or Ukrainian which haven't been translated, making them inaccessible to me), I think that there's a lot of important detail that needs to be covered from a materialist angle. Tbh there's probably enough material that would warrant the Makhnovist secret police having their own separate entry.
