Dec 23	comment	Was Churchill a poor HR manager? @FelixGoldberg, looks like it was subjective, but subjective good. :) Anyway, it's beyond my range of historical knowledge.
Dec 19	comment	Was Churchill a poor HR manager? Well, you are more knowledgeable than me. :) Since the mods havent closed the question, nor has the question received any close votes, I think that it is an acceptable question.
Dec 19	comment	Was Churchill a poor HR manager? how do you mesure HR management skill? I know that you've clarified it with your other questions, however, they also raise several questions. Thought the question may be slightly subjective, we do have a precedent that allows question like this, which is why I did not flag it. However, I wanted to see what other people thought about the question.

Dec 17	reviewed	Close How do we derive information for civilizations from periods before record keeping?
Dec 12	comment	What would be a good historic investigation topic? Welcome to History.Stackexchange. Your question may solicit debate and so isn't really allowed by the FAQ. Perhaps you could find a way to reword your question.
Dec 11	comment	Republican thought in the Middle Ages Alright then, if it's allowed, +1
Dec 10	comment	Was the Bosnian Crisis the trigger to WWI and not the assassination? @Person, For an in depth analysis, I'd suggest you read way before 1914 or even 1900. To even comprehend the alliances and the politics of the day, you need read European History from about 1600 up until WW1. I found the book "Rise and Fall of the British Empire" by Lawrence James to be very good. It gave a a through understanding of the times around 1900. I'd summarize it, but the book was several hundred pages long, and only briefly touched on all topics, so was almost a summary in it's self. But, after exams, I'll give it a try.
Dec 10	comment	What are the contributions of Professor Hans List? @ReliableSource, beat me to it. :(
Dec 10	comment	Republican thought in the Middle Ages I thought you were asking for books, which are reference material, but I could be wrong.
Dec 10	comment	Changing troops in first line during battle I don't really understand what is being asked here. Are you asking whether or not this was a one off event? Sorry.
Dec 10	comment	Republican thought in the Middle Ages I don't think that the FAQ allows asking for reference material, but there seems to be a precedent that allows it.
Dec 5	comment	Was the Bosnian Crisis the trigger to WWI and not the assassination? Well, the assassination was the straw that broke the camels back.
Dec 2	comment	What are the historical reasons for the conventional map orientation? Wow, I never knew that Ptolemy was that accurate.
Nov 29	revised	Is the Sri Lankan Civil War really over? added 284 characters in body
Nov 29	comment	Is the Sri Lankan Civil War really over? @ReliableSource, There have been no formal successions or any form of organization after the LTTE was beaten. Most of these conflicts are spontaneous, without much leadership, much like the riots in Lahore, Pakistan, or India. Because there is no leadership or secession, there is no civil war going on.

Nov 28	comment	Did Napoleon ever visit Modern Israel? I believe that the Napoleonothecake was, by asking about Israel, asking about the region that Israel currently occupies today.
Nov 28	comment	Did Napoleon ever visit Modern Israel? I'm going to remove the Daniel 11:40 section as it doesn't really have much to do with Napoleon. You can always change it back if you want, however, if you do, please specify why it is relevant.
