[edit] 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.
- We've developed a number of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.
- The project's monthly newsletter will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—and wherever—you'd like:
- Additional reviewers for the military history peer review and A-Class review processes are always needed!
- Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
- All project members are invited to help with this fortnight's project collaboration.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.
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 17:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Benphillips, Great work on the 2nd Guards Taman. I assume from your WPMILHIST note that you may push on with other Guards divisions of the Russian Ground Forces. I linked the 2nd Guards into place in the Russian Ground Forces article as you can see. Cheers Buckshot06 22:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Ben for your note. I'd say the 4th Guards Tank is probably the next priority, yes. Keep up the good work! Buckshot06 19:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Great work on building up the 4th Kantemirov entry. One thing that might improve it is listing your sources at the bottom of the article. Which one do you intend to do next? Cheers Buckshot06 20:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
No, there are some good sources that you only need to run through Babelfish. Look at http://www8.brinkster.com/vad777/glavn.htm. Babelfish has a feature of linking between translated pages, so you should be alright. The Kantemirov Division returned to the Moscow area in Autumn 1945 (so I've just read) and has stayed there ever since. Probably it's first deployment since 45 was Chechniya.

Are you going to push on with the 106th? Cheers Buckshot06 18:51, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nomonhan
I'm trying to track down info on it, especially OOBs, really detailed stuff, and on the Sov Siberian & Kwantung Armies. Have you seen any really authoritative sources? Thanks. Trekphiler
