Welcome to the project
editHi, 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, offline publication, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
- 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! Cam 02:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Crusades etc
editHey Tefalstar, thanks! Yeah, this is what I do "professionally" (although I am still a student so it's not quite a profession yet). My current mission is to find all the articles about crusade historians and make sure there are plenty of links to them, and I've been trying to bring Kingdom of Jerusalem up to Featured status, although I'm not sure I'll ever have time to finish that! I'll help out with the Richard article as much as I can though. That one might be a little harder than Henry...Richard is unfortunately well-known to the general public, and I find it impossible to keep articles like that up to any academic standard (similarly, people don't know anything about the K of J, but they do know what the crusades are!).

Guide to referencing
editClick on "show" to open contents.
Using references (citations) |
---|
I thought you might find it useful to have some information about references (refs) on wikipedia. These are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can removed unreferenced material; and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's highly advisable to also include a reference to say where it came from. Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started.
A reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use Reliable sources, such as published books, mainstream press, authorised web sites, and official documents. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is Original research, e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research.
The first thing you have to do is to create a "Notes and references" section. This goes towards the bottom of the page, below the "See also" section and above the "External links" section. Enter this code:
The next step is to put a reference in the text. Here is the code to do that. It goes at the end of the relevant term, phrase, sentence, or paragraph to which the note refers, and after punctuation such as a full stop, without a space (to prevent separation through line wrap):
Whatever text you put in between these two tags will become visible in the "Notes and references" section as your reference.
Copy the following text, open the edit box for this page, paste it at the bottom (inserting your own text) and save the page:
(End of text to copy and paste.)
You need to include the information to enable the reader to find your source. For a book it might look like this:
An online newspaper source would be:
Note the square brackets around the URL. The format is [URL Title] with a space between the URL and the Title. If you do this the URL is hidden and the Title shows as the link. Use double apostrophes for the article title, and two single quote marks either side of the name of the paper (to generate italics). The date after The Guardian is the date of the newspaper, and the date after "Retrieved on" is the date you accessed the site – useful for searching the web archive in case the link goes dead. Wikilinks (double square brackets which create an internal link to a wikipedia article) function inside the ref tags. Dates are wikilinked so that they work with user preference settings.
You may prefer to use a citation template to compile details of the source. The template goes between the ref tags and you fill out the fields you wish to. Basic templates can be found here: Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference
The first time a reference appears in the article, you can give it a simple name in the <ref> code:
The second time you use the same reference in the article, you need only to create a short cut instead of typing it all out again:
You can then use the short cut as many times as you want. Don't forget the /, or it will blank the rest of the article! A short cut will only pick up from higher up the page, so make sure the first ref is the full one. Some symbols don't work in the ref name, but you'll find out if you use them.
You can see refs in action in the article William Bowyer (artist). There are 3 sources and they are each referenced 3 times. Each statement in the article has a footnote to show what its source is.
When you become familiar with the process, the next step is to have one section, "Footnotes", with links embedded in the text, and another, "References", which lists all of your references alphabetically with full details, e.g. for a book:
If you're ready to go into it further, these pages have detailed information:
I hope this helps. If you need any assistance, let me know. |
RIchard I
editThat's okay, I'm too busy to contribute anything major these days. As for becoming an admin, I have no idea about that anymore, it's totally different from when I became one 4 years ago. I think they'll want you to have something like 2000 edits, and to have contributed to at least one featured article. It's really not that big of a deal, kind of meaningless, except for some extra buttons. Adam Bishop 01:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Pot vs Kettle
editThe use of the term "Adelin" etc is worth using. Moreover, the article was rubbish as it stood, and if you can't see that then I suggest you reconsider your own behaviour. Michael Sanders 00:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- As the article now stands it has a small paragraph on the etymology of his surname, and a rewrite of what is relevant to William - his life, his death, the relevance of his parents' marriage, etc. There isn't enough to require sections. Furthermore, given that you are a self-confessed former vandal, you'll forgive me if I doubt your judgement in the content of articles. Michael Sanders 00:54, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

- I'm terribly sorry if I came across as patronising. The term 'chemistry' has a meaning in the real world and so it should always be used with great care when used as a metaphor as here, I hope you agree. The reference you introduced does not quite support the use you made of it. --John (talk) 16:51, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Crusader dynasties
editHi, yeah that Byzantine-Chinese link would be pretty cool. I've never heard of it...I know there was a lot of contact classically, but I don't know about the middle ages, especially as early as the 11th century. Anyway, for crusader dynasties I'm not sure they really have names, before the Lusignan dynasty. At first it was supposed to be an elected monarchy, Godfrey and Baldwin I had no children, and we don't even really know how Baldwin II was related to Baldwin I. Once Fulk becomes king I suppose there is some legitimacy in claiming there was a "Plantagenet" or "Angevin" dynasty, especially since this linked Jerusalem more closely to England and France, but I still don't think it is that useful of a term. I would just leave out the dynasty parameter altogether, actually. Adam Bishop (talk) 18:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I have to say that I found this rollback quite rude. I had given a reason for my edit, and you didn't even bother to address it in an edit comment or on the talk page. In case my point wasn't clear: Something like "X show on radio Y" (where X is a weekly show which has run for years) is not a valid source reference in the sense of Wikipedia:Verifiability, since it makes it almost impossible for other editors to verify that the claim in question was actually made: Most radio shows are not publicly available after they have been aired, and even if this one was, one would have to listen closely through hundreds of hours to find the passage which contains this information in question.
Please realize that this article has been the target of ongoing hoaxes for months. I just removed the claim that he is a homosexual, even though it was "sourced" in the same way as above, I hope you are not going to reinsert this too (see also WP:BLP).
Regards, High on a tree 17:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for digging out a better reference (but please note that it says 12 December 2007, not 5 December). I still think that encyclopedia articles are not a good place for announcing future activities (WP:CRYSTAL), but I won't spend the next ten days edit warring about this...

i don't know the author of the book cited, but the sicily norman monarchy was founded by Roger I in primis, then bye Roger II.
See the List of monarchs of Sicily too.
Maybe his descents was in touch with sicily and norman kingdoms, but he didn't found them.

Editing templates
editSometimes there is an "edit" link included, but I guess not here...if you need to edit the box itself, you just need to put "template:" before the name of the box.

editHi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.

Falklands War taskforce
editOMG that is so freaky, I was literally considering broaching the same very subject with Justin today! I'm in, but you should definately contact Justin about it (LOL he's our patriarch). I can't remember seeing you around the Falklands articles though, do you have much experience with running a task force??? Ryan4314 (talk) 19:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes it's always rather bothered me looking at articles about ex-Falklands ships (for example) and they're really unencyclopaedic/unreferenced and I've always thought that the articles primarily concerning Argentine forces need a good copyedit regarding their use of the English language, plus it'd be nice to have uniform set of standards to use across all Falklands articles. However I'm afraid I don't know much about running a task force, but I can offer you my 100% enthusiasm. Ryan4314 (talk) 19:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Not really, I have only made a fairly small number of edits to those articles and I'm not any kind of avid expert. Thanks for the offer though- I like the pun (of sorts) in the name of the group ;-) Badgerpatrol (talk) 20:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- LOL I didn't even notice that! 10 points for you ;) Ryan4314 (talk) 20:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just checked your contribs mate, you'll wanna message Narson as well, he's old school cool on the knowledge too. Ryan4314 (talk) 20:50, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Less of the old, thank you, I wasn't even born when the war occured. I just have a weird ability to absorb facts no-one ever cared about. I would take a stab at it with you guys if you wish. While Falklands isn't a speciality area for me, someone has to keep Justin out of trouble. Narson (talk) 21:29, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well u were editing the articles before me, so therefore your one of my patriarchs lol. Also you might wanna hit up Jor70 and see if he's interested, he could add to the Argentine contigent. Oh and Griffiths911 too, he doesn't do much editing but is a Falklands vet with tonnes of knowledge and pics (just check HMS Cardiff's commons page)! Ryan4314 (talk) 21:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- There used to be quite an Irish contingent that edited the articles back in the day, but they were 'led' by VintageKits who got himself indeffed and we havn't seen them for a while. It is a pity, I fear the taskforce will look awfully partisan with the editors who currently edit those articles. Necessary is a good chap though and he seems to be onboard. No-one can say the Danish are pro-British. We blew large chunks out of copenhagen in the Napoleonic Wars and stole their entire fleet. Narson (talk) 21:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yea, until we get more people on board perhaps we should stick to Falklands articles that are less controversial, and just doing formatting edits etc. Ryan4314 (talk) 21:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, at the very least conversation should perhaps occur on the pages of the more controversial things, ensure things are transparant and that people who might object or bring forward a different view have the chance. Narson (talk) 21:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah that sounds fine, in a day or two it should be reasonably clear who and how many people are on board, then we can actually get something set up and start dabbling --Tefalstar (talk) 21:54, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

- LOL if you set it up will Kirill "they (we) will come". Ryan4314 (talk) 15:21, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure if I can lead the group, would someone with more experience like that role? --Tefalstar (talk) 15:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I suggest Justin but I'm not sure if he would enjoy it (plus I can see his 3RR block being dragged up and not sure if he wants to deal with that). Pfainuk seems good. There is always user:ALR too...have we spoken to him? Narson (talk) 22:35, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
- Actually I'd love people to have a look at my 3RR block, two editors with a chip on their shoulders, one an admin, start an edit war but the only person to get a 3RR block is the noob urging the group to take it to talk and not disrupt the article (and I didn't break the 4 revert rule). Anyway, whilst I'd be happy to help out but I doubt I'd be the best candidate to lead. Personally I'd suggest Pfainuk if he's interested or Ryan4314. Justin talk 08:50, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Ayyubid-Crusader War
editHi. I got your note about Template:Campaignbox Ayyubid-Crusader War. I did NOT add Sixth Crusade, etc. to this. In my opinion, Acre and Jaffa are OK and the time span ought to be 1170 (when Saladin started attacking from Egypt) to 1191 (when Richard of England sailed home). The ending date is debatable, but don't forget that Saladin was still scarfing up Crusader possessions in 1188. At any rate, I didn't create this campaignbox and I certainly didn't add the extra stuff. I did remove Crusader invasions of Egypt and put it where it belongs, in both Template: Campaignbox Zengid-Crusader War and Template: Campaignbox Fatimid-Crusader War. These are my recent creations, along with Template: Campaignbox Seljuk-Crusader War. I was inspired to organize the earlier Crusader battles when I saw Ayyubid-Crusader War. Djmaschek (talk) 02:40, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Seljuk-Crusader War
editYou are right that the Seljuk-Crusader War and the Zengid-Crusader War could be merged. I will admit that they are both arbitrary constructions. They were only created because many battles don't fit neatly into one of the crusades and a single war would make a rather long list. Whether I will merge them is another story, since I've already written the Zengid-Crusader war article and the other one is being written right now. Once I decided on this division into two wars, it seemed to have a certain logic. Djmaschek (talk) 03:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

More about Forbelet
editI noticed the discussion between you and Adam Bishop (talk) about the battle of Forbelet. If this is indeed the real name for this action, changing the name of the Battle of Belvoir Castle (1182) article would be okay with me. But please don't forget to cite your source. (This was not a mopping up action after Montgisard (1177).) I'll admit that calling it the Battle of Belvoir Castle was probably improper; I named it myself from the nearest contemporary location. (According to R C Smail, p 152, a few historians were convinced that it was a pitched battle though Smail didn't name what it would be called.) The alternative was calling it the "Crusader Campaign of 1182" but I chose not to because "Campaign" didn't seem to fit within the Battles of the Crusades category. I don't see what good purpose would be served by splitting the article in three parts, since there is little enough information as it is. In John Beeler's narrative, the campaign of 1182 is treated as a single event. (And so was the Battle of Sarmin campaign in 1115.) Djmaschek (talk) 03:11, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Belvoir Castle
editI don't see what purpose would be served by dividing this article into Le Forbelet and Beirut articles. The Beirut siege was really a minor incident in the 1182 campaign. Again, if you want to change the name to Le Forbelet or Campaign of 1182, do what you like. This is wikipedia after all. I would only ask that you provide your source for the name of the battle.

Hey there....
editHi, I reverted your edit again to the LHC lead intro. This has been discussed at some length on the talk page, and reference number 6 already notes that there are a very small minority who are convinced the LHC will destroy the world. Unfortunately these people are not experts on the subject, however they have garnered a fair amount of media attention which is their notability for inclusion within the encyclopedia. Please visit the [[[LHC]] talk page and we can discuss your changes. Thanks and hope you weren't put out by the reversion. Regards Khukri 21:44, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I may have been overruled but thank you for at least giving me the satisfaction that I'm not going senile and am the only person who is mortified at this situation. I almost expected to be barred for even suggesting that Wikipedia was censored (which would be a further irony) and yet no editor appears capable of giving much in the way of a significant answer to the dilemma. --➨Candlewicke :) Sign/Talk 21:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

March Madness 2017
editG'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting
editAs we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time. For the co-ordinators, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:35, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.
