The Academy is the Military history WikiProject's online training school. It was set up to help editors of all levels broaden their range of article-building skills, by gathering together essays for a wide range of subjects. These essays vary in nature from "how to" articles, providing practical advice and easy-to-follow instructions, to general discussions of a topic. The Academy is probably most useful for newcomers, but it also aims to offer insights into good working practice for those with more experience.
The talk page is intended to provide active support and for discussion of how the Academy may be developed. The Academy is currently very much a work in progress and all editors are cordially invited to help improve it.
