[edit] Is it only for Modern history?

Or it includes the war of ancient time. --Hairwizard91 17:29, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

It certainly could include ancient history as well. I only added Korean War items because I've been working on them, and because Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea/History seems to cover pre-1900 items. Since you've been working on older history, I think it's your decision whether to include ancient military history there, or to start adding them here. Either one will be fine with me. --Reuben 21:12, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Probably should write up a scope. From ancient to today.--D-Boy 07:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Task force?

Shouldn't this project be here under WP:MIL ?

Anyways, I'll help on any materials. AQu01rius (User • Talk) 04:15, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Mmm. The location of the subpage doesn't particularly matter, I suspect; but I'm wondering if it would be possible to set this group to function as both a workgroup of WP:KOREA and a task force of WP:MILHIST? Kirill Lokshin 04:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Don't see why not, personally. Not sure exactly what that would signify... -- Visviva 07:59, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

In other words, it would be possible to add some features (a few templates, basically) to this page that would make it appear (to the rest of MILHIST) that it was a task force, while at the same time keeping it a workgroup here. I'm loath to do this without the consent of the membership here, of course. Kirill Lokshin 13:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I'm just the janitor, though; hopefully others will weigh in. -- Visviva 02:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

You really should merge this page into a task force.--D-Boy 20:20, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I created a Korean military history task force under WPMILHIST. Up to you guys if you want to merge it or not =) AQu01rius (User • Talk) 00:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Creating a duplicate page probably wasn't the best way to go about this, though. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 00:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, after a little back-and-forth juggling, the nascent task force has been merged here with all its structural features; the net effect is that this group is now functionally both a Korea working group and a MILHIST task force. I think this is actually the best way to proceed, at this point.

One thing we ought to figure out is a single category to have tagged articles put into; at the moment, the two project banners are generating different categories, which is rather redundant and quite confusing. I don't particularly care which one we use; but we should pick one. Kirill Lokshin 02:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

So, would anyone object to filing everything into Category:Korean military history task force articles? Kirill Lokshin 04:35, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

No objections here; I'll update {{Korean}} accordingly. -- Visviva 06:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Task force image

This is the current image for this task force. Anyone have better suggestions? AQu01rius (User • Talk) 00:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Are there any easily recognizable Korean symbols that aren't too politically charged? Kirill Lokshin 01:56, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Maybe a turtle ship? Don't think we have a properly iconic icon for that at present, though... -- Visviva 03:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging campaignboxes

There's a bunch of strangely overlapping campaignboxes for the Japanese invasions that should probably be merged into a single template; if anyone knows the chronology involved and can assist, it would be quite appreciated:

• {{Campaignbox Hideyoshi's Invasions}}
• {{Campaignbox Chungju Campaign}}
• {{Campaignbox Admiral Yi 1st Campaign}}
• {{Campaignbox Admiral Yi 2nd Campaign}}
• {{Campaignbox Admiral Yi 4th Campaign}}
• {{Campaignbox Japanese Blitzkrieg in Korea}}
• {{Campaignbox Japanese Left Army (1597)}}
• {{Campaignbox Kangwon Campaign}}

Thanks! Kirill Lokshin 02:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review request for Joint Security Area

There's a new peer review request for Joint Security Area that may be of interest to editors here; any input there would be appreciated. Thanks! Kirill Lokshin 23:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested articles

The requested articles departement gets reorganized. The requests get moved to the specific taskforce. In case of error move it to a concerning task force.

• United Nations Partisan Forces Korea
