Half-way through the year, and that means another set of awards to hand out, as the June tallies have been calculated!

For the 'Flairs' Choice' Award, the honors this month fell upon /u/copperbrook, who tackled "In the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty," they mention female Scotland Yard employees, one who searches a female suspect and an investigator who goes undercover to gain the confidence of a suspect. What opportunities were available to women in policing in London in 1893?".

Complementing them on the other side with the 'Users' Choice' Award is /u/undercoverclassicist who enlightened us on "Did people realize they were part of a civilizational collapse during the bronze age collapse?"

The 'Dark Horse' Award, recognizing the top-voted non-flair, saw several worthy newcomers in close competition, but /u/lordbigbutts edged out with their discussion of "Were the policies of the British government under Churchill responsible of causing the Bengal Famine of 1943?".

This month's 'Greatest Question', voted upon by the mods, circles us back to the beginning, with /u/ArmandoAlvarezWF's question of "In the Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty," they mention female Scotland Yard employees, one who searches a female suspect and an investigator who goes undercover to gain the confidence of a suspect. What opportunities were available to women in policing in London in 1893?" catching eyes on its own, and wonderfully answered by /u/copperbrook of course.

Finally, the 'Excellence in Flairdom' award for June goes to /u/facepoundr! If you've seen the advertising for the AH 2020 Conference--all those awesome graphics? That's facepoundr. Basically, bow down. Thank you SO much, facepoundr!
