The Military history WikiProject Newsletter: Issue XII - February 2007
The new consolidated review department—combining the existing project peer review and A-Class review with a listing of project articles undergoing various external featured content candidacies and reviews—is now operational.
Two new templates have been introduced:
{{Infobox Firearm Cartridge}}, a primary infobox for use with firearm cartridges and artillery shells.
An effort is being made to have task forces maintain annotated bibliographies for their topic areas; several task forces have already begun to construct them.
The project reached two important milestones this month: 500 active members and 30,000 articles in the assessment system.
A military version of Wikipe-tan has been created; a new userbox featuring one of the images is available for interested project members.
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all of the candidates who put themselves forward for this responsibility, and to the retiring coordinators for all of their efforts to improve the project!
{{Infobox National Military}} is being developed to replace the old {{Military}} template; comments on the draft version are welcome.
A proposal to introduce a category tree for military campaigns, as well as a number of associated classification guidelines, is being discussed; comments would be very appreciated.

We are on the cusp of having 9000 novel and other narrative prose articles tagged as part of the project. With this volume of articles, we need all the editorial help we can get.
Now there are three Task Forces ("Short story", "Science Fiction" & "Crime") - see below
Member news
The project has currently 214 members, 8 joined & 1 leavers since the last newsletter at the start of February 2007
Other news
The Assessment department has managed to assess (in some form) nearly all the main articles. The emphasis will now change to identifying needed article improvement, however keeping a watch on newly tagged articles with a view to properly assess those.
A new Peer review department has kicked off with one of my early articles as a starting point. Please do give it a look, start reviewing and suggest other articles that you believe could benefit from another pair of eyes.
Currently stalled - if anyone has the means to help out here with re-generation of these list - please do!
Current debates
The End of Fair Use? is notification of a serious debate going on across WikiPedia.
Another possible problem hasn't really got going as a debate but maybe should have. It highlights a need to put in content to articles that asserts "notability" and gives proper referencing to articles.
Volunteers needed - if any members feel able to take on project tasks such as leading Task Forces, editing this Newsletter, monitoring and maintaining the Announcements template, heading up Outreach activity, managing Collaboration or Assessment activity or anything else you believe needs special attention, please let us know.
