Welcome to the Wikipedia Reference Desk Archives
|
---|
This is an archive where you can browse all of the old questions and answers from the reference desk. Not all questions have been archived (nonsense and questions not meant for the reference desk have not been saved). Some of these pages are very large and may crash even high-end computers. We recommend you don't open many windows at the same time. If your question has been archived but you feel that it hasn't been adequately answered, ask your question again on the reference desk. Link to the archived discussion here and attempt to be clearer and provide more information in your new question. |

For archivers |
