Welcome to the Egyptian military history group, an initiative of the Military history WikiProject that aims to improve and better organize Wikipedia's coverage of Egyptian military history, from ancient times up to the present day, a topic that is somehow badly represented on the encyclopaedia. The plan, for now, is to gather all the interested editors and useful resources in one place in order to achieve efficiency and high-quality content.

Open tasks
[edit]You can add any task that you feel requires further attention to the following table and/or list.
Worklist
[edit]Article | Grade | Editor(s) currently working | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Egyptian–Hittite peace treaty | B | None | Could be a GA candidate. |
Crusader invasions of Egypt | C | None | Article doesn't have a single reference. |
Ali Bey al-Kabir | Stub | None | Important stub article that requires further expansion. |
Muhammad Ali's seizure of power | C | None | Too many uncited paragraphs. |
Timeline of the Sinai insurgency | List | Fitzcarmalan (inactive on this topic since August 2015; see here) | Outdated, and the article's current list format may look more suitable for an encyclopaedia if converted into table format with prose that includes more detailed information on the conflict's events. |
