Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Fortifications task force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to the Fortifications task force of the Military history WikiProject! The task force coordinators are: Woody (talk) and Roger Davies (talk).
Contents |
[edit] Scope
This task force covers all fortifications, including both Classical and Medieval fortresses as well as modern forms of fortification.
[edit] Indefinite collaboration
The Fortifications Task Force maintains an article collaboration. The collaboration has no clear deadline and will end when the article in question reaches an acceptable level of quality or until the consensus is to move on.
The current article of collaboration is Alton Castle, it is a relativly obscure structure and there is not an extensive amount of information on the site so goals are quite modest. Please help out!
