[edit] OpenTasks

Here are some open WikiProject Reenactment tasks:

• Major work needed:
  • Goals and scope need to be defined
  • Comparison of historical reenactment events needs serious improvement
  • Lists of groups needs serious improvement:
    • List of medieval reenactment groups
    • Comparison of historical reenactment groups
  • Historical reenactment needs to be abstracted (currently focusses on American Civil War)
  • Authenticity (reenactment) needs to be expanded (currently focusses on less-authentic medieval reenactment)
  • Codex Belli needs an English summary of the basic ruleset
  • Living history needs to be expanded
• Articles to write:
  • Stone Age reenactment (might be just experimental archaeology)
  • Ancient reenactment for Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, etc?
  • Dark Age reenactment (redirect to Medieval reenactment?)
  • Modern reenactment for 18th-20th century reenactment (American Civil War, Napoleonic Wars, World War II)
  • Articles for major reenactment groups? (What defines a "major" reenactment group anyway?)
  • Article about gunnery displays? Might be crossreferenced for details on black powder focused reenactment groups
  • Boer War reenacting is a new (and experimental) trend, primarily with mostly modern reenactors.
  • American Civil War firearms category is not generalized; there is only a Category:American Civil War rifles.

Feel free to edit this list or discuss these tasks.
