What topics do we cover?
We generally consider any article related to historical or modern-day warfare or military affairs to be within our scope.
Most of our work focuses on eight broad areas:
- Military operations, battles, campaigns, and wars.
- Military personnel, including both leaders and common soldiers, as well as other people involved in military affairs.
- Military units and formations, ranging from small units to national armed forces.
- Military equipment and technology, weapons, armour, and vehicles.
- Military facilities and structures, such as fortifications, bases, test sites, and memorials.
- Military historiography, publications, and historians.
- Types and periods of warfare, the military histories of particular nations and groups, and general military science and doctrine.
- Depictions of military history in all media, such as video games, painting, sculpture, music, film, poetry, and prose.

What do we do?
Our goal is to build the foremost free-content encyclopedia of military history in the English language by:

- Providing guidelines and recommendations for editors of military history articles; and
- Serving as the central point of discussion for all issues related to military history in Wikipedia.
We are currently working towards four major milestones:

What advice can we offer?
We maintain three sets of formal guidelines for articles related to military history:
- The content guide covers article content and structure.
- The notability guide covers the notability of topics.
- The style guide covers naming conventions, usage and style, sourcing and citation, templates, and categories.
In addition, our Academy offers training and instruction on a wide range of subjects related to military history and Wikipedia. |
