Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Military land vehicles task force

Welcome to the Military land vehicles task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below. The coordinators of the Military history WikiProject can be contacted here. Scope [edit] This task force covers all military land vehicles, including tanks, tankettes, tank destroyers, SPGs, APCs, IFVs, military trucks, and military light utility vehicles. It can be considered to be a subgroup of the Military science and technology task force. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Land-vehicles-task-force=yes or AFV-task-force=yes (or Land-vehicles=yes or AFV=yes) to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Military land vehicles task force articles.

The table to the right shows the current article assessment statistics for this task force. A list of the top 500 most popular articles within our scope, as well as the number of page views each article received over the past month, can be found here. With most of our articles assessed as Stub- or Start-Class, there's a lot of work to be done. However, we also have a number of good, A-Class, and featured articles, which have been assessed as amongst the best Wikipedia has to offer. These article serve as a yardstick for what can be achieved and should be aimed for, and can provide ideas about how to write an article and what sources to consult; they are listed below: This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Military land vehicles task force articles) correctly and wait for the next update.
