@Anvar Ah, then we're talking about the Trakai Island Castle (the old one is not on a lake).

comment Was there a connection between Vietnam war violence and the climate of violence in the United States during 1968?
@FelixGoldberg I never said he doesn't have a point. I asked for clarifications exactly because I was hoping we could somehow discover a good question behind all this. When my question was met with an (imho) insulting response, I gave up and went with a literal answer (which, I'll admit, is not entirely sarcasm free). Also Samuel won't be notified of your comment. @username comments only generate notifications for people who've posted at least one comment under the post or have edited it. If you want to notify him of your comment, you should post a comment on his answer.

Care to explain what's insulting you in: Why do you think the photos are related with the 68 riots?

Nonsense. I removed my comment because you responded to my simple question ("Why do you think the photos are related with the 68 riots?") with an insulting comment.

Are we talking about the Old Trakai (Vytautas birthplace, destroyed in 1391) or the Trakai Island Castle (where Vytautas died)?

comment Was Horst Tappert a member of the SS?
@Luke CW's primary purpose is to encourage collaboration by allowing edits from lower reputation users (without review). Its secondary purpose is to discourage people from abusing the edit - bump dance with trivial edits. None of these applies here, I see no reason for this question to be CW. Eugene deserves all the rep from it.

comment Looking for a symbol for Southern USA communism
The hammer and sickle was used by southern Communists (see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Southern-Worker-1931-09-19.jpg), so you could just use that.

I saw that, I was looking for the older question to close yours as a duplicate, and was quite surprised when I found out it was self deleted right after you answered it. Anyway, this isn't a bug, an asker is prevented from deleting their own question only if there's an upvoted answer. Unfortunately, your answer never had a chance of getting an upvote, since the question was deleted almost immediately after you posted it. Glad you took the time to repost it, +1 on both the question and the answer.

comment What is the nature of questions that can be answered by historical sources and methods?
Argh, I wish you haven't posted all these questions and answers in such short time. The vote fraud script that runs daily isn't exceptionally smart, if people don't take care to space out their votes on your posts, the script will reverse them.

comment What would be the time frame for Adam & Eve & Family
@RenanMalkeStigliani If you are looking for historical context (with regards to a particular text of the Bible), Biblical Hermeneutics Stack Exchange might be the more suitable site. I'm not very familiar with the site though, please check their FAQ and look for similar questions before you ask your own.
