I like it. Also, I'm guessing anyone can add stuff? As long as it's good, of course?

This is the discussion related to the wiki page Log of Extranormal Events.
I dislike this page for the same reason as I dislike the log of Anomalous Objects: implausibility. There simply can't be one log. May I suggest amending both articles so that they are linked to a specific site or geographical region?
The fact that simply by virtue of being central, they'd have to be infinitely larger than what presents itself on the page. The SCP listing can get away with it because it's supposed to be a series of executive summaries, not all of which are cleared for access at any given time. But here, there should be more documentation, and the lack of said documentation is a bit jarring.
PSST, UNIMPORT: This is fictional. We can't do make everything as realistic as possible. Some things are just fun excercises. Like this.

…yeah, I guess so. I like Aeish's idea, though. It's a great compromise. Maybe even make this a feed from one guy's desk, or something?
maybe when we get more incidents? Currently there's still too few entries to warrant categorizing.
Fix:
Make area co-ordinates a key field, link it out in a one-to-many to sub-databases containing any furhter info for that area.
:)
Or, for extra creep, make it a random day. This page is covering only anomalous events that happened on February 9th, 2010. For me at least, it would really show the scale at which the Foundation is operating, covering up and investigating dozens of events a day.
Problem with that is that several of the events reference there having been an extended period since the event or the event having happened over a course of time. So if you did that, if would have to be something like February 10 1990. But even then, seems like a needless limitation.
One more recommendation to make it seem much larger…
[DATA EXPUNGED]
Should the header of each line (like "Date:") be bold? It would definitely make it a bit more readable.
I put the headers in bold. It seems much easier to read now.
This is good. Can we just put our own stuff on (like the Anomalous Items log?)
Looks to be the case, from admin post/s up above.
Why demolish a magic hospital? That would be an extremely useful resource.
It's a doctor who reference—the Empty Child. There were these nanobaot things that cured everything, and there was a throwaway line at the end about how a woman regrew her leg. Well done, whoever wrote this.
And removed.
References to other media are not allowed on the wiki.
I'm really not digging the latest addition (the viscous blue fluid in the water supply one). Too much is expunged; as it is, this sounds like the fluid or water supply would be classified as an SCP. Now, if the effect was that they started laughing uncontrollably for 30 minutes and some people with pre-existing breathing conditions managed to laugh so hard they choked/suffocated themselves to death, and it was explicitly a one-time thing (re-exposure to the fluid did nothing), then it might be interesting. As it is, it's too much generic [DATA EXPUNGED] with a [REDACTED] but not a mime, then [REMOVED BY ORDER OF O5-13] until golden-brown, and serve.

During an automobile accident, the body of ████ ██, a passenger in one involved vehicle, expanded to fill the entire interior of the vehicle. Because Mr. ██'s expanded body had taken on a consistency similar to stiff foam rubber, the other occupants of the vehicle were protected from the impact, and were the only survivors of the crash.
Oh God, what. Also, since the guy is still alive, he seems SCP-worthy to me.
It says that the people his body protected were the only survivors.
Body confiscated, all other occupants and responding personnel administered Class A amnesiacs. Tissue tests indicate that Mr. ██ is still alive, though the tissues of his body have become an undifferentiated mass, and tests of neurological function are inconclusive.
I can't help but wonder… if he's basically just a formless, homogenous mass at this point, then how are they testing for "neurological function"?
"Hi, this is Jorge. It has been fun playing with you, but I am going to visit friends next door now. I will be back later to collect my toys. Take care of the place!"
I think we found the source of all SCPs.
Abranduser:
So, there were FOUR bodies - two that floated in the air, and two that killed everyone?
If that's not what you meant, it needs some rewriting for clarity.
Agreed. It's confusing: did the original bodies reanimate & become the killers? Did the killers' bodies go back in time? Are there 4 bodies? Was it Miss Scarlet in the Library with the Lead Pipe?
