February might be a short month, but there were still plenty of great answers to vote for this week, and y'all have made your choices known!
The 'Flairs' Choice' award was neck and neck voting, but the final determination saw /u/keyilan take the prize for "What was widely spoken in China before Mandarin Chinese was standardized?"
The 'Users' Choice' award was just as tight a race, with /u/TheRGL winning fair and square even if they wrote about "Is there evidence to support Canada and the UK rigged the 1949 Newfoundland referendum?"
The 'Dark Horse' Award, highlighting the most voted for non-Flaired user, goes to /u/OneWeirdTrick who provided some insight into How did the "stereotype" of an alien being physically grey, big eyed, creature came to life ?
For this month's 'Greatest Question', voted on by the mods, we were quite interested by /u/thechao's inquiry into "In the west we had a "theory of humors" before modern medicine; what was the pre-contact "medical theory" of the Mayans?". Sadly it isn't answered yet, but still time to get the response it deserves!
The Excellence in Flairdom Award for February 2021 goes to /u/Starwarsnerd222! They're a Ping-Pong ball of endless positive energy, whether that means putting enormous effort into multi-part posts or bringing an equal amount of enthusiasm to the flair community. Thank you so much, Starwarsnerd!

Well I am glad to hear the Bows have it! Thanks to everyone who read the answer and to the people who thought it was up the the high calibre of answers in this subreddit.
Congratulations all!
yo what. sick. thanks folks. i shall cherish this for the entire month.
A great and glorious congratz to /u/keyilan, /u/TheRGL, /u/OneWeirdTrick
Woah! Thanks a bunch to everyone who read those multi-part posts (there's no sign of them stopping anytime soon) and especially to those who enjoy the Saturday Showcase series. I promise you this next entry (which may take another week thanks to mock exams) will be the longest (and hopefully most informative and interesting) yet!
A massive thanks to the mods as well for the award, though due credit must also be given to all the flairs who I've had the honour of chatting or messaging with. It's thanks to their own positive energy that I now have restored faith in humanity (or at the very least, the public history realm).
A grand congratulations to all the other award winners too, and here's to a great month of March for the AH community!
A well deserved congratulations to all the winners and thanks for spreading such knowledge
