The role of the two world wars in the evolution of Fordism Arnaud could generally improve their questions by more fully specifying the economic and social-science theoretical categories and theories they're using. By citing sources for major concepts. They could also benefit from an understanding of the difference between history as a social-science and history as a humanity: most humanities histories do not attempt to test explicit theoretical hypotheses from "small theories" produced from models. The humanities way of doing history dominates the discipline. |

The effects of war on the workforce The quality of this question could be improved through the use of standard terminology in relation to economic history. It could be improved through the use of one of any of the standard political economies' frames of reference (of your choice even). |

Parable of the broken window and 1929 crisis Are we talking about gross product, or are we talking about material damage. "Destructions" aren't removed from the gross product because they're not products. Assuming that economics represents anything other than its own model is dubious. GDP represents a specific way of looking at aggregate product: for the GDP war products and educational services products are identical. GDP doesn't discriminate between labour quality improvement and product designed for waste. |

Parable of the broken window and 1929 crisis While I disagree with this answer, it is a good answer. Any debate required can be directed towards chat: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/1560/the-time-machine |

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. |

Did the Germans lose the U-Boat war in World war II because of a shortage of quality, rather than quantity? "The key benefits to the German submarine campaign would be in order:...Cryptosecurity." The verb phrase at the start of the list targets the noun. By indicating they needed cryptosecurity I'm suggesting that they had no secure cryptography. |

Subjects of sermons in the Middle Ages You can't ask an absolute comparative in a thousand year period covering the entirety of europe and a significant part of North Africa and Asia when there isn't sufficient material to cover any specified question. It is a poorly researched question. |

Subjects of sermons in the Middle Ages geographic limits, time limits, monasteries, for which estate, in Universities?. There's a lot more specification required. |

general philosophical question about history The separate point is worth a detailed history and philosophy of science question though! |
