WikiProject Report: Military history
WikiProject Military history, a WikiProject that works to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history, was founded by TeunSpaans (talk · contribs) on 21 October 2002, first named WikiProject Battles. The Battles WikiProject was then merged with WikiProject Wars, created by Ilyanep (talk · contribs), and the two became the Military History project. With around 700 active members and 240 inactive members, it is one of Wikipedia's largest projects. The original worklist for the project was created by Kirill Lokshin (talk · contribs) on 28 January 2006.
The project was first to introduce the "new articles" page to bring attention to the new articles created on the topic. This approach quickly gained popularity among other WikiProjects and communities and recently was automated by the AlexNewArtBot.
