How can you help?

 

You don't have to join our project to work on military history articles. We welcome everyone who wants to help improve these topics, and encourage you—project member or not—to participate in all of our activities and take complete advantage of the support we offer.

Ourlist of open tasks contains thousands of articles that need different types of improvement. Article reviews and other discussions can be found on ourlist of article alerts (watch). Please feel free to select something that interests you and start editing!

If you would like to advertise your participation, you can formally join the project byadding your name to thelist of members, or by adding one of ouruserboxes to your user page. Whether or not you join the project, you can sign up to receive our monthly newsletter,The Bugle, by adding your user name tothis list.

TheArticle Improvement Drive is a backlog reduction drive, which will run from 00:01 UTC on1 November through to 23:59 UTC on30 November 2025. The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project; however, only work on articles whose talk pages are tagged with with WikiProject Military History banner will be considered eligible. This year the drive is focused on eliminating four specific backlogs:

Articles tagged as citing no sources (around 1,100 articles)Category:Military history articles needing attention only to structure (around 300 articles)Category:Military history articles needing attention only to supporting materials (around 400 articles)Category:Military history articles needing attention only to grammar (around 50 articles)Points will also be awarded for improving articles to B-class, to further our long-term goal of having 15% of all articles at or above this level, and carrying out assessments of articles listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Requests.

The drive coincides with Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Backlog drives/November 2025 and editors may wish to participate in both drives. To participate, see the last two sections atWikipedia:WikiProject Military history/November 2025 Article Improvement Drive

What topics do we cover?

 

We generally considerany article related to historical or modern-day warfare or military affairs to be within our scope.[Note 1]

Most of our work focuses on eight broad areas:

  1. Militaryoperations,battles,campaigns, andwars.[Note 2]
  2. Military personnel, including both leaders and common soldiers, as well as other people involved in military affairs.[Note 3]
  3. Military units and formations, ranging from small units to national armed forces.
  4. Military equipment and technology, weapons, armour, and vehicles.
  5. Military facilities and structures, such as fortifications, bases, test sites, and memorials.
  6. Military historiography, publications, and historians.
  7. Types and periods of warfare, the military histories of particular nations and groups, and general military science and doctrine.
  8. Depictions of military history in all media, such as video games, painting, sculpture, music, film, poetry, and prose.[Note 4]
Notes
  1. ^The American usage of "military" is applicable here; in other words, the project concerns itself with anyarmed forces rather than only with land armies.
  2. ^Other than a requirement for military orparamilitary involvement, we do not limit the events to which terms such as "war" or "battle" are applied; it is generally enough for the term to be used by reliable sources. Editors should beware, however, of interpreting such usage too literally; the popular media often uses them to describe civil law enforcement matters such as "gang wars" or "street battles", which are not typically within our scope.
  3. ^Military service does not in and of itself place an individual within the scope of the project—particularly in the case of service in modern militaries. To qualify them, an individual's military service must have been somehow noteworthy or have contributed—directly or indirectly—to their notability.
  4. ^We generally cover only those depictions for which a discussion of historical accuracy or real military influence is applicable. A distinction is made between fictionalized depictions of historical warfare and purely invented depictions of fictional warfare; topics sufficiently divorced from actual history that a discussion of actual military history would no longer be relevant to them—such as futuristic warfare inStar Wars or fantasy battles inLord of the Rings—are not considered to be within the project's scope. However, songs and music with long military associations—for example,It's a long way to Tipperary andLili Marleen—are within our scope.

What advice can we offer?

 

We maintain advice pages oncontent andnotability related to military history articles, and there is a formal style guideline as well:

In addition, ourAcademy offers training and instruction on a wide range of subjects related to military history and Wikipedia.

Who coordinates our project?

 

Theproject coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers.

How is our project organized?

 

We have organized activities within the project under four main departments:

A group of project members are currently undertaking a special project calledOperationMajestic Titan which aims to create the largest featured topic on Wikipedia, covering every modern battleship ever planned or built.

Previous special projects have included work on theAmerican Civil War,World War I and theD-Day landings.

We also maintain task forces to organize collaboration on particular military history topics:
