The big difference is, Wikipedia is not, has not ever been, and will never be a resource for original research. It is essentially an online...
Most of those edits appear to be typographical or format edits (updating broken links and such). Very few if any appear to be actually correcting...
You have to wonder why he's going with some private company like that instead of a big auction. This would be the highlight of a Major auction,...
That is awesome! Really cool to see the punch on its own, and its cool that they saved it.
For many regions of the world, the "hoes" or "axes" or "knives" that were traded were originally intended to be hoes and axes and knives. They...
