Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Russian, Soviet and CIS military history task force

Welcome to the Russian, Soviet and CIS military history 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.

This task force covers much of the military history of the post-Soviet states and territories formerly part of the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire.

It covers twelve Soviet successor states Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan, and also the nearby state of Mongolia.

However, the military affairs in the area of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania are the subject of the Baltic states military history task force, Finland’s military history is covered by the Nordic military history task force, and Poland’s military history has the Polish military history task force.

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Russian-task-force=yes or Russian=y 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:Russian, Soviet and CIS military history task force articles.

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 significant 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:Russian, Soviet and CIS military history task force articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
