I don't know all the answers I give off the top of my head. Many of them I search for online or use an index.

Apr 12	awarded	Nice Answer
Feb 28	comment	How were girls educated during the Talmudic era? This book ("Jewish Life in the Time of the Talmud") may be of interest.
Feb 28	revised	Who is the author of “תוספות ”אילמלי on כתובות ל״ג עמ׳ ב׳? English to Hebrew (to conform with all other instances of Hebrew in the post), moving quotation mark to surround the word
Feb 27	comment	Who is the author of “תוספות ”אילמלי on כתובות ל״ג עמ׳ ב׳? Also, was the reference to "Kesuboth" at the end of the question a typo?
Feb 27	revised	Who is the author of “תוספות ”אילמלי on כתובות ל״ג עמ׳ ב׳? Formatting
Feb 27	comment	Who is the author of “תוספות ”אילמלי on כתובות ל״ג עמ׳ ב׳? Probably whoever wrote Tosfos on Kesubos.
Feb 27	revised	שכרו הרבה מאד or is it על פי פעלו added 109 characters in body
Feb 27	comment	How does the tree of life work? Related: judaism.stackexchange.com/q/20653/1569
Feb 27	comment	What is a “migu” I always read it as "מִגּוֹ." We also find many times something like "מִגּוֹ מַשְׁרִיתָא" in Targum Onkelos (e.g. Devarim 2:14), meaning "from within."
Feb 27	revised	Asking a shaila where disclosure of classified information might be necessary I think this was the intention of the author of this answer (if it wasn't, he should probably revert the edit)
Feb 26	comment	What differentiates the Artscroll Talmud compared to other translations? This is a critical review of the new English Steinsaltz edition. (Most Hebrew editions are mostly the same, as far as I've seen in my unscientific study.)
Feb 26	comment	Why doesn't everyone say 'Al HaNisim for both days of Purim? @DoubleAA The Mishnah Brurah records a dispute whether to say Al HaNisim on Shushan Purim outside of a walled city. I can't find it right now, but I remember that it was in the laws of Purim rather than those of Chanukah.
Feb 26	awarded	halacha
Feb 26	comment	Why doesn't everyone say 'Al HaNisim for both days of Purim? Saying Al HaNisim is also a dispute in the Mishnah Brurah (I don't have time to find it now, but it's in the laws of Purim).
Feb 26	comment	What are the consequences of Vashti’s dual nature? הכי קרא שמה ושתי, שהיתה שתי נשים
Feb 25	comment	Are there any Jewish sources that discuss vampires? The werewolf question has animals on it.
Feb 25	comment	Are there any Jewish sources that discuss vampires? And this post on Hirhurim brings the sources for vampires in Sefer Chasidim.

Feb 25	accepted	How did Achashverosh not think that Mordechai would be disturbed by the decree to kill all the Jews?
Feb 25	comment	What does the Megillah mean when it says Mordechai was “dover shalom” to all his seed? Rashi says the entire nation's seed (i.e. it means "all its seed," referring to the לעמו previously mentioned). Most translations to English say his own seed.
