Today:

Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Day of Reflection. Nobody can read everything that appears here each day, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.

From the AMA I wanted to highlight this answer from /u/ScipioAsina

And from /u/tobbinator who gave a great overview of the dozen or so factions in the Spanish civil war.

I was quite fond of /u/heyheymse's response in the thread about sports team nicknames.

A few weeks old, but reviewing flair applications I came across /u/NurseAngela's post on sex and hygiene that definitely deserved a wider audience. We often see the same names being highlighted in this thread, so it's great to know that we're still attracting excellent new flaired users.
