I have the historical sources and the knowledge, but need to learn more about operating in Wikipedia format. I'd also like to write articles on other key battles in Napoleon's 1812 campaign: Polotsk I & II, Tarutino, Vyazma, etc. Anyone who can give me more orientation, please contact me at Wikipedia or at my email. Thank you.)

[edit] Tagging articles

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Napoleonic-task-force=yes to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Napoleonic Era task force articles.

[edit] To-do

• Improve Wikipedia's coverage of the Napoleonic Wars, the Wars of the French Revolution, and related and contemporaneous conflicts in the period from roughly 1792 to 1815.
• Create new articles and stubs for topics where none exist.
• Expand and improve existing stubs and articles.
• We are also willing to conduct, upon request, peer reviews of articles in conjunction with or independently from Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Peer review.
• Flesh out the War of the Sixth Coalition and its many battle articles. Especially the 1814 campaign, where there are too many stubs.
• Render assistance to Ansbachdragoner with War of the Fifth Coalition and French Revolutionary Army.
• Complete, expand and improve La Grande Armée, then submit it for review of the project as a whole, and if deemed ready submit it for FAC.
• Move on to deal with the War of the Third Coalition. There are many battles articles which need starting.
• Clean up the war and battle categories for the Napoleonic Wars.
• Clean up the coalition campaignboxes.
• Render assistance to SoLando in completing the Order of Battle of the Waterloo Campaign.
• Create categories for people in Napoleonic Wars that are not 'commanders' (who must have commanded at least a corps). We need something similar to the Category:War of 1812 British people.
• Add things here
