According to our article Pope Julius II said "I forbid under the pain of excommunication anyone to speak or think of Borgia again". Does this still apply to Roman Catholics? Thank you, DuncanHill ( talk) 00:43, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
Which law professors are experts on Florida election law? Futurist110 ( talk) 03:29, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
According to M. Lincoln Schuster, ed. (1941). "Introduction". A Treasury of The World's Great Letters. London & Toronto: William Heinemann Ltd. p. xlvi. "in Venezuela the post office permits love letters to go through the post at half rate, provided they are sent in bright red envelopes". Was there any truth in this? Thank you, DuncanHill ( talk) 19:27, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

A recent television programme on BBC1 (Who do you think you are?) referred to a British soldier being present at the Battle of Verdun (1916). He later fought at Passchendael in 1917. Were any British unis involved with Verdun. They are not mentioned in the WP article on Verdun although it is said that part of the German object in the barttle was to take the French attention away from the French and British attacks on the Somme. I have never read of them being at Verdun in any book or article. Spinney Hill ( talk) 23:18, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
