8h	comment	Do historians agree with Dominic Sandbrook's historical analysis about Margaret Thatcher? I think if you omit the next to the last paragraph, you have a question. The next to the last paragraph (Normally I argue for quotes, but St Francis of Assissi is stretching it</grin>) seems to stray into the realm of political discusison.
8h	comment	The role of the two world wars in the evolution of fordism @Arnaud is French, "Fordism" and "Regulation Theory" are French theories. I have no idea how well accepted they are outside France. I find French economics to be littered with assumptions that are alien and incomprehensible; they still seem to think that Marx has validity. I can't answer the question, but I think it is legitimate.

12h	comment	The role of the two world wars in the evolution of fordism Some citations would be very helpful in decoding this. Those unacquainted with fordism, Marxism and the Regulation school are likely to be confused by the question. Who said that fordism entered Europe during WWI? WHo said it was effective after WWII? Why are those two assertions incompatible? How is inequality and surproduction measured? What is the relationship between militarization and fordism?

16h	comment	How does Argentina view the inhabitants of the Falklands? Could we focus this question on history? This strikes me as a better fit for politics, or world affairs or something.

1d	comment	Was there discrimination against Jewish people at the entrance exams to the most prestigious universities in the USSR? I edited to remove passive voice, but it reveals a problem. The question asks whether there was discrimination; the body of the question asserts that discrimination was a documented fact. @Carlo_R., I think you're looking for independent confirmation of discrimination, but you could be looking for evidence of this particular type of discrimination. Can you clarify?
