# Depictions of military history in all media, such as video games, painting, sculpture, music, film, poetry, and prose.<ref group="Note">We generally cover only those depictions for which a discussion of historical accuracy or real military influence is applicable. A distinction is made between fictionalized depictions of historical warfare and purely invented depictions of fictional warfare; topics sufficiently divorced from actual history that a discussion of actual military history would no longer be relevant to them—such as futuristic warfare in ''[[Star Wars]]'' or fantasy battles in ''[[Lord of the Rings]]''—are not considered to be within the project's scope. However, songs and music with long military associations—for example, ''[[It's a long way to Tipperary]]'' and ''[[Lili Marleen]]''—are within our scope.</ref> |

We generally consider any article related to historical or modern-day warfare or military affairs to be within our scope.[Note 1] Most of our work focuses on eight broad areas:
We maintain advice pages on content and notability related to military history articles, and there is a formal style guideline as well:
In addition, our Academy offers training and instruction on a wide range of subjects related to military history and Wikipedia.
The project coordinators are the designated points of contact for issues concerning the project, and are responsible for maintaining our internal structure and processes. They do not, however, have any authority over article content or editor conduct, or any other special powers.
To contact the coordinators, please leave a message on the coordinators' discussion page, or use the {{@MILHIST}} notification template on any other discussion page on Wikipedia. |
We have organized activities within the project under four main departments:
A group of project members are currently undertaking a special project called Operation Majestic Titan which aims to create the largest featured topic on Wikipedia, covering every modern battleship ever planned or built. Previous special projects have included work on the American Civil War, World War I and the D-Day landings.
We also maintain task forces to organize collaboration on particular military history topics:
