Welcome to Milhist!
[edit]
Hello and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you are interested, or you can add it directly to your user page by copying the following: {{WPMILHIST Announcements}}.
- Important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, writing contests, and article logistics.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- We've developed a style guide that covers article structure and content, template use, categorization, and many other issues of interest.
- If you're looking for something to work on, there are many articles that need attention, as well as a number of review alerts.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask any of the project coordinators or any other experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome, and we are looking forward to seeing you around! Roger Davies talk 10:30, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Equipment of the Indian Army edits
[edit]Just wondering why you undid my edit? Given that there was no explanation of why in the edit summary, I reversed the edit. Any equipment going on to an equipment list, or any quantities changed should come with appropriate citations for the sake of verification, and anything removed should be explained in the edit summary. - Jonathon A H (talk) 21:50, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- The small arms like Zittara, A-7 aren't used by the India Armed forces.Zittara as a matter of fact is not even with a single unit of the army.OFB is still considering on manufacturing them, they even removed it from their online product list.The PKM machine guns are used in the T90S,BMP-2S,T-72M1 as co-axial weapons and also by infantry as a general purpose machine guns though I still need to find some images to prove my point but they are used.Sorry but I have a tough time getting to know this User talk section in wikipedia. - Saumya Supratik (talk) 09:28, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oh, that's fine, I have no problem with it being removed. It's just nice to have an explanation in the edit summary. Otherwise it can be difficult to tell the difference between vandalism, improper edits, and helpful edits. Edit summaries should be added for just about any edit, actually - additions, removals or changes. And no worries. But yeah, some sort of citations should be given for any additions, too. Also, if the PKM is used by the infantry, then it should be added (with proper citations), but weapons that are strictly vehicle mounted shouldn't be added to the small arms list. It's redundant since the vehicles are also listed, and the vehicle articles usually detail what's mounted on the vehicle. If there's anything I can help with, let me know. As for talk pages, usually it's best to keep the conversation all in one place. To let someone know when you've replied, you can use the talkback template. Just place that on their talk page with appropriate sections filled in. :) - Jonathon A H (talk) 19:55, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Please see WP:Referencing for beginners for a guide on how to properly included references for added info. WP:Citation templates may be of some assistance, too. Also, please use the edit summary for all edits, not just the first one. Finally, images alone probably should not be used as a reference as they require some interpretation by the viewer - items or individuals can be misidentified, or disputed, and without proper context can be entirely misleading (IE An image of a soldier examining or testing a weapon may lead someone to believe that the weapon is used by that particular nation when it is not, or a soldier wearing a donated uniform could be misinterpreted as belonging to the military of the contributing nation etc.) Text references are preferable. As to what other things are looked for in a good reference, you may want to read this: WP:Identifying reliable sources - Jonathon A H (talk) 16:53, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
- Okay I will go through them.But giving sources and citations of every single weapon is necessary?There are plenty of weapons which do not have a source like the NSV,KPV.We don't even know if the M4A1 Carbine is being used by any of the special forces.As for the PKM we donated around 5000 of them to Nepal free of cost.So I believe we have more of them.

March Madness 2017
[edit]G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
- tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
- updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
- creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.
The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.
The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.
For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
