message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then.

message: Who else here would support bringing NZ into a Task Force through renaming and expanding the scope of the 1st Australian Task Force?
Buckshot06 05:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mmm, despite the past history of the two countries being linked during certain periods (via ANZAC), they do currently have independent militaries.  I'm not sure that explicitly pairing nearby countries as task force scopes is a good idea unless the scope is made purely geographical (e.g. an Oceanian military history task force). Kirill Lokshin 05:37, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

text: While that proposal does have a lot going for it, Australia and New Zealand have quite distinct military histories and lumping them together would be misleading. For instance, the Greek campaign was the only occasion Australians and New Zealanders fought alongside in WW2. --Nick Dowling 05:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hey Nick, ever hear about the Battle of EL Alamein? ;) Hawkeye7 20:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

text:  I must agree with Kirill and Nick, though a combined taskforce has merits it is probably not the best direction to take the Australian Taskforce. As Nick pointed out two military histories are quite different, they just get merged together very often due to Gallipoli and WWI. I'm luke warm Oceanian task force, would it include Australian involvement in the region and WWII stuff as well. Hossen27 06:18, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't think than an Oceania task force would make much sense as the countries in this region have suprisingly distinct histories. For instance, New Caledonia's military history is almost completly different from Australia and New Zealand's as New Caledonia is part of France. --Nick Dowling 06:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

text:  (edit conflict) Well, an Oceanian task force would basically include everything related to the region (see, for example, how the scope of the Balkan task force is set up); but I'm not really convinced that it would be a worthwhile way of grouping things here. The more obvious solution would be to create a separate task force for New Zealand, if the interest can be found; I'm not sure how many editors would be interested in that specifically, though. Kirill Lokshin 06:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I've always thought that there should be a separate New Zealand task force.
