• Improve Wikipedia's coverage of the Napoleonic Wars, the Wars of the French Revolution, and related and contemporaneous conflicts in the period from roughly 1792 to 1815.
• Create new articles and stubs for topics where none exist.
• Expand and improve existing stubs and articles.
• Willing to conduct, upon request, peer reviews of articles in conjunction with or independently from Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Peer review.
• Flesh out the War of the Sixth Coalition and its many battle articles. Especially the 1814 campaign, where there are too many stubs.
• Complete, expand and improve La Grande Armée, then submit it for review of the project as a whole, and if deemed ready submit it for FAC.
• Move on to deal with the War of the Third Coalition. There are many battles articles which need starting.
• Clean up the war and battle categories for the Napoleonic Wars.
• Clean up the coalition campaignboxes.
• Render assistance to SoLando in completing the Order of Battle of the Waterloo Campaign.
• Create categories for people in Napoleonic Wars that are not 'commanders' (who must have commanded at least a corps). We need something similar to the Category:British people of the War of 1812.
• Add things here
