Category talk:Military organization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Sub-Categories

After I saw requests in several military article talk sections for anyone to do a better job of organizing the massive collection of articles not in any sub-category, and also a huge volume of somewhat related sub-categories, I moved some stuff to try to add a little bit more organization.

Looks to me like the content of Category:Types of forces and Category:Types of military are so similar that perhaps they should be combined into a new sub-category:Types of military forces, which might go into the Category:Military organization, which is in turn in Category Military in Category:War.

• The two categories host organizations from army, navy, air, marine, SOF, etc. It would be more clear to do away with Category:Types of military and Category:Types of forces, and instead creat Category:Navy Organization , Category:Army Organization , and Category:Navy Organization. All of these belong inside Category:Military organization MCG|^(talk) 27 Aug 06

Most of the contents are not organizations but true types (e.g. artillery, infantry, etc.); holding them in Category:Types of forces is more sensible than trying to split them out along the (modern!) branch lines. Kirill Lokshin 08:20, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Is there not a more clear descriptor than "types"? I would think "military organization" would sugest describing the break-down of military to army/navy/air to infantry/cavalry/armour etc. When talking of specific units & formations, I tend to think of "military organizations."

These will eventually get pulled into Category:Military units and formations by type, once that's created; I've also created a Category:Military branches to hold the modern army/navy/air view. Kirill Lokshin 08:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Seen. I like it. MCG|^(talk) 27 Aug 06

Actually, the Military history WikiProject is about to undertake a comprehensive review and restructuring of this entire category tree; I'll make sure that your concerns here find their way into the discussion. Kirill Lokshin 08:31, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
