I notice there are a number of questions that make it to the subreddit's front page without answer, or worse, a graveyard of deleted answers. Would it be possible to run a weekly thread cataloguing the unanswered questions?

In my imagination, the thread would catalogue the past three weeks separately, then by months up to the last six months, at which point posts would not be answerable. (To be clear, I'm not suggesting we go dig up the last six months of unanswered questions. I am suggesting that, should the thread be maintained for 6+ months, that would be the inevitable conclusion.) I would hope that if a question is answered, someone would post to the thread and the question could be removed, and if a question goes unanswered (or is a graveyard of deleted answers or has a conversation seeking clarification of the question but no answer), someone can post a link for it to be added.

For example, here are a few threads from the week December 25 - 31, 2014:

• Is there any Data about how much Steel has been used to make the german Stahlhelm in WW2?

• Did John Rolfe's reputation suffer for marrying Pocahontas?

• What would the typical diet consisted of to an Indian in the 14th, 16th and 18th and the 20th centuries?

• Did Native Americans thank the animals they killed?

And here are a couple from July 24-30, 2014:

• Its 711 AD, I am a soldier in Tariq Bin Ziyads fleet and we just landed in present day spain. What are we expecting to come at us and what are we armed with?

• BDSM and Kink in Antiquities?

Time alone does not lead to answered questions. This time of year should be of particular concern for lost questions since many historians have been on holiday.
