The votes are in!
For the third month in a row, we again have a unanimous vote from both flairs and users. This month the top spot goes to /u/bloodswan for answering "What is the origin and development of the footnote(1)?".
The combined votes of flairs and users for second place then goes to /u/ancienthistory for "When looking for pulp publications on the Nazis, almost all magazines make a point about being "for men" – does that mean they were merely pornographic or is there a deeper significance (in genre e.g.) behind that?".
And finally, the Dark Horse Award, for the highest voted contribution from a non-flair had a clear edge to /u/kayelar, for "Why has Country Music remained so white? What cultural and industry forces kept the genre that so willingly borrowed from blues, gospel, norteño, and mariachi so completely dominated by white artists and tied to white identity?".
So as always, a big congratulations to the winners, and a big thanks to everyone who contributed to the subreddit in the past month! Also a reminder, if you want to nominate answers for the monthly awards, the best way to do so is to submit your favorite posts every week to the Sunday Digest!

Super congratulations to /u/kayelar, /u/AncientHistory, and /u/bloodswan! There was some awesome original research in the winning answers this month, and to a lot of the nominees as a whole. A+ job to all.
Wow, thank you all so much! Was pretty surprised to see this notification this morning.
And congratulations to the other winners and nominees. There were some very impressive answers this past month.
Congrats! I liked all of those answers, especially the footnote one by /u/bloodswan .
