May 1	answered	Were cavalry used in first World War?
May 1	comment	Did the break up of AT & T in 1984 lead to technological innovation? Now it is a book length question!! Wikipedia and there is a Timeline of discoveries has a partial list of answers including optical routers, signaling, lasers, HDTV, optical digital processors and the like.
May 1	comment	Have any of the Presidents of France taken advantage of its co-princeship of Andorra in a significant way? Are the terms distinct? The consitution uses the term Coprinceps (See above).
May 1	revised	Diminishing powers of the Roman Catholic church in international matters Spelling
May 1	reviewed	Approve suggested edit on What do “roses” represent in the history of Protestant vs Catholic conflict?
May 1	comment	Diminishing powers of the Roman Catholic church in international matters There is no debate that the church is an international organization. The remainder of your questions are either trivial (What is a papal bull, or require more than a book length (last question).
May 1	comment	Why were people from the Asian Steppes able to militarily dominate Europeans on a repeated basis? I think this question would be improved if you clarified the points raised by @Odysseus. I think some research to establish that nomads did in fact cause more havoc than internal wars would help. I think the question would also be better if you removed the last sentence about the crusades. I believe the best questions are questions; the last sentence sounds like a Socratic prompt.
May 1	comment	Why were people from the Asian Steppes able to militarily dominate Europeans on a repeated basis? With respect, I think that @Sardathrion is unduly harsh here. I think the first section is a comment, and non-responsive to the question. I completely agree with him that there is a very solid answer in here, and could be revised to an upvote.
May 1	comment	Did the break up of AT & T in 1984 lead to technological innovation? Difficult to measure technological innovation, or to predict whether a monopoly would have ever delivered cell phones. (Success has a thousand fathers, and monopoly is generally accepted to defer innovation) I think this falls into the category of suspicious counterfactuals. Could you revise this to require less speculation?

May 1	revised	Have any of the Presidents of France taken advantage of its co-princeship of Andorra in a significant way? Plural subject. (giving into my inner grammar OCD)
Apr 30	reviewed	Leave Open What types of Poison gasses were used in World War 1?
Apr 30	comment	What types of Poison gasses were used in World War 1? Trivial wikipedia search
Apr 30	comment	Subjects of sermons in the Middle Ages It has been a while since I last sat through a sermon or considered homiletics, but I believe the question includes a false dichotomy. The sermon isn't constrained to a Testament; it is quite possible to preach a sermon on "how to cook an egg while one handed" (I sat through that sermon). Sermons should be about the Churches relationship with God, which includes both OT & NT.

Apr 28	comment	How big was the percentage of white people in the USA who were not against granting the blacks equal rights? I don't have a breakout by race; the citation is all I was able to find, and I believe it is 68% of the US population. (as measured by a public opinion poll)
