These ones seem pretty useful, and clearly fall within the Commons
scope.  How is documenting the effects of a war not useful, for a
project that hosts both journalism-related material and historical
content?  It's too bad that they are too big for our current capacity,
but still, they seem both interesting as useful to me.
