This is the new format of TI. More Short articles of 250 words or

If an article has a bibliography, then there's 120 word limit to covers
endnote or footnotes along with bibliography.
Anything over a short bibliography requires that a reader contact the
author or the corporate offices
for the rest of the sources. They are seeking articles or mentions of
humor and travel/big event articles.
They are planning to feature some aspect of fighting, arms, armor, etc.

121 words on the sources.
I don't know where the longer articles will be able to be published in
the future. It's a major concern of mine,

history and "how to" piece. I personally would have been more
interested in something on how peas were cooked and served in period
in different regions.
I also would have liked more reliance on primary sources. I don't
have it in front of me, but I think the closest they had to a primary
source was "A Medieval
