I was pretty late with my post on the Velvet Underground and avant-garde/drone music, as an addition to u/hillsonghoods great answer on the topic.

I was pretty late in responding to /u/Flyingskwerl's excellent question concerning why ethnic cleansing is not considered a crime by the United Nations and the difference between genocide and ethnic cleansing, as I didn't have the resources on-hand to answer it at the time it was asked.

Edit: I also just answered /u/oqieau's month-old question about whether or not the Christian feast day "Nativity of John the Baptist" had a date change, specifically concerning the Episcopal Church's Calendar of Feast Days.

I liked /u/Iphikrates' answer in this thread: I’m watching Troy:Fall of a City on Netflix. They have cast black actors to play Achilles and his Myrmidon Warriors. It’s a cool way to differentiate them from the other Greeks, but is there any historical reference for this?

Also I would like to see an answer to this question: Was there a Jewish civil rights movement in America? How did anti-Semitism become culturally unacceptable?--I have some thoughts, but not to the standards of this sub.

I had a post about 'mercenary armies' in the Early Modern Period that I was late in posting but nevertheless deserves some attention.

I really loved /u/AncientHistory’s top notch answer to my question about censorship of horror radio.

Very busy last weekend so never got around to posting then, so this is actually two weeks of saved answers...

• /u/TheProfessor8 on "Sherlock Holmes famously uses "the 7% solution," aka, injected cocaine, to stimulate his mind when he's not on a case. How easy would it have been to get cocaine in 1860s-1880s London, and who were the primary users?"

• /u/Wagrid on "When did Richard the Third decide to become King? Was it immediately after his brother's death, or sometime later, or even before Edward died?"

• /u/Yodatsracist on "Why did social fraternities like the Freemasons and Elks see their membership fall so dramatically after the 1960’s in the US?"

I'd still be really interested in hearing any answers about where men at arms in the Hundred Years War got their horses. and how the Roman military confederation raised such huge armies

If I'm allowed to plug my own posts, I'm quite happy with this answer to u/mumbamba's question about religious contact and tolerance in antiquity.

/u/NientedeNada answered Was the Meiji Restoration the revenge because the Tokugawa faction won during the Sengoku period? with the two of us disproving some traditionally told popular stories about the supposed rituals done by the Satsuma and Chōshū clans to demonstrate their hatred of the Tokugawa Bakufu.

/u/onthefailboat gave a good answer about the use of alcohol by slaves in the US in Alcohol and slaves, with an interesting follow-up about the black market that existed at the time.

And /u/NientedeNada had some tremendously entertaining responses in Regarding Sakoku: What would be realistic/likely circumstances for a group of Japanese "tourists" travelling Europe in 1810?. The whole thing deserves more attention, particularly their suggestion for how to plausibly depict a covert Japanese mission to Europe.
