This is a wiki detailing what it self identifies as "amok" attacks (rampage killings). It lists numerous attacks from a variety of countries and time periods
Thought the forum would like it.

I've been on the Amok wiki before. It's quite good and has articles on a lot of lesser known killers.
Thanks for making this post. Maybe more people will find out about lesser known killers and maybe more people will contribute because a lot of their articles are incomplete.

The amok wiki is in rather poor shape; most articles on the site are bare-bones summaries, with little to no information on the attacks themselves. I've added articles for Kyle Huff and James Wilson, as well as greatly expanding the page for Lanza.

it could also be the fact that those countries in Asia rarely share details of mass killings

I dont think it's in that bad of a shape, it's a great place to start on your research.
Sources are lacking in a few articles here and there but other than that i don't have much of a problem using it.
I think it's also partly the problem of a lot of the articles being from asia with very litttle information being let out.

I really like Lord Gon's review on a mass shooting study by mother jones. It has a nice listing of the mass shootings (in the US) mother jones didn't include in the study from 1980-2014 which I have found to be very useful.
