History of terrorist organizations designations/undesignations by Israel @NicolasRaoul I added the why to your questions, because without that it was probably a little too close to just a straight reference question. If you think it is too far from the original scope of your question by all means change it back, and the community can decide if it is appropriate. |

History of terrorist organizations designations/undesignations by Israel @NicolasRaoul This is an interesting question, but can you reformat it to better conform with the guidelines of the faq: history.stackexchange.com/faq As it stands right now this question seems to be searching for reference material, and not necessarily concerned with say the history of classifying terrorist organizations. |

Who really put to flight American hostages in America's embassy in Tehran in 1979? @user37324 if your question is about who had the more "important" role in the operation then that is not a good fit for the site. All of the reputable sources say that it was a joint operation conducted by the CIA and Canadians. I answered your question about "who" put them on the plane, and the answer is unequivocally both the CIA and Canadians. |

Freedom of speech in Germany since WW2 There is way too much discussion style comments going on in this question. Discussion is for The Time Machine: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1560/the-time-machine the comment section is NOT for discussion. |

Historically accurate films about the English Civil War @FelixGoldberg, but this is no different imo than asking for reference material on a topic. This kind of question would invite a list from people, and the question is more concerned with modern interpretation, than what actually happened. |

Life in the middle ages for ordinary people? I like your question, but do you think you can narrow it a little more, and perhaps be more specific? |

How does Nigeria stay together? @HermannIngjaldsson et al., the comments section is not really appropriate for discussions. The chat room for the site "The Time Machine" is a better venue: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1560/the-time-machine That being said I thought the comments were in fact quite good, and I think you guys could have hashed it out if you were chatting. |

Ted Nugent and draft dodging @FelixGoldberg, yeah I don't really have a good answer for why not the Nuge. That is why I gave the question an upvote, and hopefully someone can find an answer. |

Ted Nugent and draft dodging I feel like this question tows a fine line. On the one hand, Ted Nugent is certainly "famous," but is he the kind of famous that will be remembered long after he is dead? I'm thinking along the lines of say JFK, Louis Armstrong, Marlon Brando, Albert Einstein, etc. |

Natural born citizen Because you don't have to be born to two US citizens to be a natural born citizen if you are born on US soil. The sources are also not the most on point for the state of current law. |

Gregório Amúrrio: dates of birth and death Can you expand the question a little more to include why it is that you believe he is historically significant? Citing the wikipedia page isn't really sufficient imo. |

What was the first emergency management agency in the world? Were the Vigiles an arm of some sort of governmental body? |

What was the first emergency management agency in the world? I am most interested in an agency that dealt with natural disasters, so fire from the list you mentioned. Sickness, or pandemics, could qualify I suppose. |

Why is Che Guevara so famous? do you have the source for the quotes? I'm not a fan of Che Guevarra, but your message would carry a lot more weight with a citation. |
