Perhaps you can start a separate category. Also, there are several from Mtre.

The way I figure it, each article just needs to be separate unto itself, and then you can have heading articles linking them just like wikipedia. Because I have them already written I'm starting with fencing drills. I can then make an article Fencing Drills (Foil) that links all of the drills articles I've written, The same thing can be done with Techniques (parry 4, parry 6, lunge, etc can each have a separate article). and possibly tactics as well.

I submit an answer, tell myself I'm done, can't help but do another... and so on and so on. A little frustrating to see the same questions several times in a row (but hey, it's random). Also frustrating to not see an officially-accepted answer, but as I found when I took the exams a year ago, a lot of the answers can be successfully argued. (The exam writers are hopelessly vague at times.) It's probably a good thing you don't allow comments on specific questions or you'd see a full-scale war break out.

It would be nice if it had a "This is your score so far" indicator, and a "this many questions to go" indicator, and a way to tell the *correct* answer to the last question, not just what other people have said.
