As regards http://www.the-orb.net/wemsk/originalwemsk.html 
<http://www.the-orb.net/wemsk/originalwemsk.html>
It's described as:
*What Every Medievalist Should Know 
<http://www.the-orb.net/wemsk/wemskmenu.html>*
The essential tools of the medievalist, provided by James Marchand and 
eduted by Stephen Mark Carey. These 45 lists, arranged topically and 
alphabetically, comprise the premier guide to medieval studies
"These lists are meant for the 
 beginning-to-semi-advanced graduate student. The specialist will find 
nothing here. They are meant to get you started, and to allow you to 
work up in a new field"

I note that one can learn about saints but  Food History and what they 
ate is not included.
Nor is Agriculture. Arithmetic and Astronomy -- yes. The role of Women 
-- NO!

I don't think it's worth our time.

Johnnae (who actually graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in History, 
concentrated in Medieval and no
this was not my program.)
