message: List of Norwegian battles has a lot of red links to battles needing creation, ranging from the year 900 to 1814. If anyone needs some inspiration. :) Inge 10:17, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We have a requested articles departement or you can try to set up a task force. Furthermore there is the possibility to translate from the Norwegian wiki (+ you can directly search for others capable of Norwegian and possibly interested in history).

replies: text: Going on the task force idea, I don't think that a Norwegian task force would work but how about a Scandanavian one? Kyriakos 02:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  List of Norwegian battles 

message: After creating the article on the Battle of Yawata, I learned that there is very little information on the battles of the Muromachi period. Please take a look at it. --Ineffable3000 21:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Another unexpected CFD nom 

message: For anyone curious, I've made some changes to the layout of the template, including a more useful "simple" version that links explicitly to the full one.  I've also replaced the instance on the main project page with the simple version, as it reduces the page size by about a third.  I'm not sure whether we still need the "Skip to TOC" bar at the top now that the template has been shrunk, though.
Comments would be very welcome! Kirill Lokshin 04:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Probably a stupid question, but does any task force deal with Islamic military history? 207.160.66.129 15:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not "Muslim" military history per se, although a variety of other task forces cover aspects of it.  I don't necessarily think that would be a good idea for one either; while the military history of the Islamic conquests would be a good topic for a task force, "Muslim military history"—which would include, presumably, anything done by Muslims, rather than the Islamic state (Caliphate, etc.) in particular—would be as unworkable as "Christian military history" would be as a scope. Kirill Lokshin 16:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

text: No, but actually we have no military task force for any religious group. The African military history task force deals with a large number of Islamic countries (+ the Islamic conquest in Africa). Likely the Indian military history task force also deals with the military history of Muslims on the Indian subcontinent. The Medieval warfare task force is about all from 500BC (~100BH) to 1500BC(~900AH) and isn't bound to any regional borders. There is no task force explicitly covering Central Asia or the Gulf for example. Perhaps the Muslim conquest could be covered by one task force. Furthermore the recent global conflict of diverse groups of Islamic faith with many Western nations and others could really benefit from a task force. If you go through our list of editors you will find several editors writing on different aspects of Islamic military history. We can create any task force if you provide a clear definition for the scope and enough interested participants sign up. Wandalstouring 16:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Muslim military history? 

message: In light of the fact that the current nomination for :Category:Sieges by country seems to have gone down the drain as far as maintaining the "X of Y" convention is concerned, and the discussion above hasn't come up with any better term than "involving", I'd like to propose a mass renaming of battle, operation, and war categories to use it.  The main benefits would be:
# Create a consistent naming scheme across all such categories.
# Make more explicit the fact that the categories are set up by participants, not by location (this has gotten to the point where I've written up a FAQ about it).
# Resolve the concern raised in the current nomination that the "X of Y" terminology could overlap with the normal naming of particular events.
