[edit] Guidelines

• Always cite your sources as fully as you possibly can! This is priority number one.
• Use inline citations - a simple reference at the end of an article is not acceptable - take pride in your citations!
• If you feel you need to include an unreferenced statement, place a {{fact}} tag after the statement and request a reference from someone in this project in the Shared references section.

[edit] Open Tasks

• Create a project banner.
• Michael Sinclair (soldier) - This article has come a long way but we still need information on the "60 second escape" and "Final escape and death".
• The entire article Colditz Castle has become very unwieldy and needs major revisions, see Talk:Colditz Castle

[edit] Challenges

Use this section to request assistance on pieces of information which are particularly hard to find.

• Find a reliable source for the date of birth of Michael Sinclair.
