What are the main U.S. military innovations since 1945 who have had civilian applications? Can't be answered historically. See the history and sociology of "Technoscience" for a full account. |

Who was Charles Kingston O'Mahony? Worldcat indicates a birth date in the union record. The union record author's last book was published immediately prior to the death date on that grave, which bears the same birth date. You've got a location to look for local newspaper obits now. |

Is there parallelism between Aztec cannibalism and ingestion of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ that Catholics practice in their Communion ritual? If someone can explain how human beings can have a sized concordance maybe this question would be answerable. Also how a concordance can possess the capacity to figure. The question needs to be rewritten for clarity. |

How Successful Were the International Brigades? Given that Beevor works primarily as someone who produces synthetic histories with large scopes, and is not a Spanish Civil War specialist, I would rely on other works. |

Is Wikidpedia's article on Odette Hallowes accurate? Wikipedia's standards in history articles are meant to be held to something like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:HISTRS . This excludes research from primary sources, and excludes accepting "dodgy" claims of history such as Newspapers making interpretations of primary sources. What the Telegraph editors choose to publish, lurid or not, is not "disciplinary history." Disciplinary historians tend to have a lag time (reading, writing, publishing) after archival openings, and then there's a lag until someone writes it up for the encyclopaedia according to policy. |

Why does Islam seem so much more like Judaism than it does like Christianity? This question could be improved by the citation of the history of religions for its assumptions and theory. The apparent theory of history used (of a chain of progress) is the reviled "Whig" theory of history btw; this question is "bad" in that it is fundamentally "bad" history, per Butterfield (1931) The whig interpretation of history |

Is Wikidpedia's article on Odette Hallowes accurate? In the first paragraph of the story, "according to newly declassified government papers," you'll find the reason why older sources don't mention this. I personally do not trust Newspapers with historical sources, and the Telegraph has almost certainly construed the most lurid reading of the new source material possible. |

Is Wikidpedia's article on Odette Hallowes accurate? Given that we don't know which "history books" you read, this question about Odette Sansom Hallowes is impossible to answer. |
