This is a list of unsolved murders (it's right there in the name), it is therefor rather silly (putting it nicely) how many of these listings say "her murderer was never caught", "it remains unsolved to this day", and such. I plan on rewriting this in the next day or so, but if anybody else wants to give it a crack before I can get to it, go for it. --Khajidha (talk) 12:30, 31 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

The entire section "Before the 19th century" should be drastically trimmed. There are far too many archaeological and anthropological instances where not only the prospect of them ever being "solved" is moot but even the use of the term "murder" potentially doubtful. All of the bog bodies and similar are not helpful. The only remaining ones in this section should be the ones that there is some historical documentation for, e.g., Wenceslaus III of Bohemia, or Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey.

Someone saw a need to duplicate the better part of the List of bog bodies here. I removed most of them and restored just a short description of what bog bodies are, plus three example, which should be enough. --Syzygy (talk) 09:11, 27 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I've once again gone through the pre-19th century part of the list and cut a bunch of cases where there is either no consensus that any murder took place, or (in the case of Agrippina the Younger) the murder is not really unsolved in any meaningful way. I'm also sceptical about the inclusion of Caesarion: our article on him calls the death an "execution", and at any rate we know that it was ordered by Octavian - is that an unsolved murder?

It is. Very annoying. Someone's life is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the 1st century AD obviously began in AD 1 (given there was no AD 0, or indeed 0 BC) and the century has begun in that way ever since. It's called logic (since the 1st century clearly didn't have one year less than every other century since). People in 1900/1901 understood that. People in 2000/2001 had largely forgotten it. But I don't object to rounding the number. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:17, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
