WHO THE HELL IS /u/k_hopz? They killed it yesterday by delivering up top answers to How significant was Franz Ferdinand in life? Was he known across America? Across Europe? What did he do, exactly?, [Is Gavrilo Princip a "Yugoslav nationalist" or a "Serbian nationalist"?](Is Gavrilo Princip a "Yugoslav nationalist" or a "Serbian nationalist"?), and Was Austria-Hungary considered a powerful country on the eve of WW1, was it seen as comparable to France, Great Britain of Russia?. AH poweruser in the making--they even wrote very strong follow ups.

In addition to all the good stuff on the AMA, /u/elos_ gave a novel of an answer to a question about the evolution of modern battle tactics.

I also liked the answer that /u/k1990 (the kids today!) gave to why we can use newspaper records as historical sources if we know newspapers are biased, as well as their answer to a question about why an important road in Montreal is named after a random pope.

Current mods, keep an eye--that's two more users to watch for flairing.

I want to thank 400-Rabbits for helping out with this question: What was life like for Tezcatlipoca's ixiptla during the year leading up to his sacrifice?

We don't discuss the English Civil War all that often on this sub, but /u/CorporalJohn gave an excellent answer to the question "How were the Royalist forces during the English Civil War organized?"

Some posts I enjoyed this week:

• /u/rosemary85 in Somebody told me once that in Ancient Greek theater culture there wasn't nearly the same emphasis on novelty and originality we have today but instead the same few plays would be tweaked every performance in order to tell the story in the most interesting way. How true is that?

• /u/shlin28 in What was the public perception of the Roman Empire's cultural, religious and architectural heritage in 9th Century England?

• /u/yodatsracist in How and when did our current cusswords come to existing?
