Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, and project-wide collaboration.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 01:54, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue XII - February 2007
Project news The new consolidated review department—combining the existing project peer review and A-Class review with a listing of project articles undergoing various external featured content candidacies and reviews—is now operational. Two new templates have been introduced: {{Infobox Firearm Cartridge}}, a primary infobox for use with firearm cartridges and artillery shells. {{Command structure}}, an auxiliary infobox designed for use with {{Infobox Military Unit}}. An effort is being made to have task forces maintain annotated bibliographies for their topic areas; several task forces have already begun to construct them. The project reached two important milestones this month: 500 active members and 30,000 articles in the assessment system. A military version of Wikipe-tan has been created; a new userbox featuring one of the images is available for interested project members.	From the coordinators The third project coordinator elections have now concluded. Seven coordinators have been selected to serve for the next six months: Carom (talk · contribs) FayssalF (talk · contribs) Kirill Lokshin (talk · contribs) Kyriakos (talk · contribs) LordAmeth (talk · contribs) Petercorless (talk · contribs) Wandalstouring (talk · contribs) Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all of the candidates who put themselves forward for this responsibility, and to the retiring coordinators for all of their efforts to improve the project! Kirill Lokshin, Lead Coordinator
Current proposals and discussions {{Infobox National Military}} is being developed to replace the old {{Military}} template; comments on the draft version are welcome. A proposal to introduce a category tree for military campaigns, as well as a number of associated classification guidelines, is being discussed; comments would be very appreciated.
