Ship Characteristics lacking uniformity

So I'm just a kid basically and don't know what I'm talking about. However, there are a lot of ships on here that I often find myself at, and it is strange there isn't a formal way to set up the stats of the ships. Some include cost, some don't. some include ship badge, some don't. ship mottos, classification numbers, consistent displacement(some include full load and regular, others don't specify). I feel like it would make sense if not to standardize it at least advise for certain info to be included Mlayap (talk) 00:28, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

@Mlayap: Part of that is because we can only include the information we can find in reliable sources. Some ships are much better covered than others. Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 16:40, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Nominations for military history newcomer of the year for 2024 are open!

Military history newcomer of the year 2024

• 
  First place
• 
  Runners up

As we approach the end of the year, it is time for us to nominate the editors we believe have made a real difference to the project. In addition to the Military historian of the year, all Milhist editors are invited to nominate a promising newcomer that they feel deserves a nod of appreciation for their hard work over the past 12 months for the Military history newcomer of the year award. The award is open to any editor who has become active in military history articles in the last 12 months.

Like the Military Historian of the Year, the nomination process will begin at 00:01 (UTC) on 16 November and last until 23:59 (UTC) on 30 November 2024. As the awards process is one of simple approval, opposes are deprecated. After that a new thread will be created and a voting period will commence on 00:01 1 December 2024 during which editors will be able to cast their approval vote for up to three of the nominees. At the end of this period on 23:59 30 December 2024, the top editor will be awarded the Gold Wiki; all other nominees will receive the WikiProject Barnstar.

Please nominate editors below this line, including links in the nomination statement to the most significant articles/lists/images editors have worked on since 1 January 2024. Please keep nomination statements concise; excluding links to the articles/list/images in question, the ideal nomination statement should be about 20 words. Self-nominations are frowned upon. Please do not vote until the nominations have been finalized. Thanks, and good luck! On behalf of all the coordinators, Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:13, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

1. CommissarDoggo (talk · contribs): A new joiner to the project this year, their work includes bringing the American VC winner William Henry Harrison Seeley to GA and expanding Michael Wettlaufer from stub to B class. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:10, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
2. Matarisvan (talk · contribs): Significant additions to Indian military history, a notoriously difficult topic on Wikipedia - they have also since been voted a coordinator of the WikiProject. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:10, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
3. Klutserke (talk · contribs): Second World War naval history, including the significant expansion and re-writing of HMS Sheffield (C24) and the creation of articles including 8.8 cm SK C/25 naval gun. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:22, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
4. Wahreit (talk · contribs): Can I nominate Wahreit for extensive editing to Second Sino-Japanese War articles like the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. He joined Wikipedia in April 2024 and has done good work from the beginning. Oh and plus 25k to Battle of Nanking Alexysun (talk) 00:24, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

1. noclador (talk · contribs): Since 2005 has been working mainly on articles about the Italian Army. In 2023 started a project to write articles for all the Italian Army units active after WWII. Since August 2023 noclador has brought to B-class 298 articles about units of the Italian Army, of which 289 were created from scratch. Created 145 articles in 2023 and 2024.

   Thanks. A barn star would be appreciated but this nomination ... seems excessive — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:05, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

3. Zawed (talk · contribs): Another year, another seemingly endless quantity of New Zealand-related articles. From the Second World War and articles such as Mick Ensor, to the 1869 Battle of Te Pōrere, Zawed consistently produces a variety of high quality content. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 21:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
4. Donner60 (talk · contribs) - for extensive behind-the-scenes work as a coordinator, especially their tireless work with the assessment process. Hog Farm _Talk 15:01, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
5. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk · contribs) - prodigious output of articles relating to British naval ships, e.g. HMS Regulus (1785) and personalities, and also heavily involved in reviewing articles. Zawed (talk) 06:23, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
6. Hog Farm (talk · contribs) - another editor with a strong article output, this time relating mostly to the US Civil war, e.g. Edward W. Gantt. Zawed (talk) 06:23, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
7. Hawkeye7 (talk · contribs) - yet another editor with tremendous output, particularly in military logistics e.g. Operation Matterhorn logistics. Does a lot of backroom stuff for the project. Zawed (talk) 06:23, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
8. Simongraham (talk · contribs) - works away on naval ships, with many articles created and taken up to GA, e.g. HMS Harpy (1909). Zawed (talk) 06:23, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Aviation experts needed!

Hi all. I am working through Category:Military history articles needing attention only to supporting materials with a view to eliminating its backlog (as almost every article should be able to have an image or infobox). I'm coming across quite a few articles on prototype or low-production aircraft models. Most have an infobox or image so should be B class, however they feel a little short to me. I know next to nothing about aircraft so wondered if someone would mind having a look to see if they contain enough to satisfy the coverage aspect of B-class. A sample below:

• I suggest you post this at WT:WikiProject Aircraft (or link to this discussion there) also. Regards -Fnlayson (talk) 17:40, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Thankyou. I've just dropped a post there, asking for help - Dumelow (talk) 17:44, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Some of those overlap with Category:Aviation articles needing attention to supporting materials as they have no images. There is also Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of aircraft, I went through this category recently using a script that could tell if an article had images but the 'image needed' parameter had not been changed to 'n' on the talk page. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 19:32, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

An infobox counts as supporting materials, so the absence of a picture doesn't fail b5.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:41, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Merging WW2 RAF / Free French squadrons into native air forces

Following on from this discussion in January 2023 on the MILHIST talk page. A large number of other countries squadrons have been merged/moved to their native air forces. Looking at the French series, 326, 327, 328, 329, 340, 341, 342, 343, 344, 345, 346 & 347, i've put merge notices on the correct French Air Force squadrons that i've found but my knowledge of the French Air Force is poor and knowledge about their Naval Air Arm is non-existent.

Is anyone able help to connect up the WW2 RAF squadrons with their native air force squadrons? Gavbadger (talk) 00:04, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Actually, upon further review, it does seem that the FMA 21 is its own aircraft. My confusion was with the fact that the French Dewoitine D.21 was also used by the Argentine Air Force, but the FMA 21 is a different aircraft. According to the I.Ae. 22 DL (or FMA 22) page, it was developed from the North American NA-16. I will start the new page for the FMA 21 as I.Ae. 21 DL to be consistent with the existing page of its successor. Tylermack999 (talk) 14:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Archiving Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Requests for project input

Is someone able to set-up automatic archiving of the above after say 30 days? Sorry, I don't have the technical know how - Dumelow (talk) 09:12, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I just went through and pruned it, including for closed discussions, but some level of auto-archiving would be preferred. Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 16:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I have added archiving, and moved the deleted entries to the archive. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 17:44, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

• Good move. That'll help with entries that are readded to the main page. -Fnlayson (talk) 19:58, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Requested move at Talk:Israeli incursions in the West Bank during the Israel–Hamas war#Requested move 18 November 2024

There is a requested move discussion at Talk:Israeli incursions in the West Bank during the Israel–Hamas war#Requested move 18 November 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Feeglgeef (talk) 00:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Just FYI for American Civil War editors

If you're ever doing map research and find anything that would qualify for Commons:Category:Old maps of plantations in the United States it would be wonderful if you could please add them to the category. ACW maps are one of the best sources for plantation maps which is often very connected to American slavery research...so it would much appreciated! TIA jengod (talk) 16:40, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

NA-class

Does this project have categories for NA-class pages? These are usually for pages which are not articles and do not have a separate category. We currently have non-existent categories like Category:NA-Class North American military history articles which are filling up. This is due to some changes we are making in the meta banner, but most projects already have these categories set up, so I'm just wondering why this one doesn't — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:46, 14 December 2024 (UTC)
