CZ:Military Workgroup

Workgroups are no longer used for group communications, but they still are used to group articles into fields of interest. Each article is assigned to 1-3 Workgroups via the article's Metadata.

As of 2024, editors are in the process of removing thousands of articles from the Military Workgroup and deleting them from the wiki. These are articles which delineate great details about specific weapons systems, U.S. military operations, bases and procedures, military-minded political interest groups, and in some cases, the chemistry needed for explosives and bombs. These are NOT the kinds of material this wiki seeks to provide, and it baffles the current editorial staff that so much of it was permitted in the past. The material is so messy and interthreaded that the removal project will probably require at least two years.

We do seek articles about military history, battles, and thorough, researched discussions of particular military matters--but not the inner workings of a given country, nor anything that could even remotely be used to help partisans in modern wars to create, evaluate or manage weapons systems. Even if other wikis allow this, Citizendium shall not. Military articles must attempt to be objective about politics and should not promote political organizations, interest groups, or individual thinkers.

This workgroup can organize and coordinate efforts to create and improve articles relating to military affairs. If you are interested in participating, you may add yourself to Category:Military Authors, discuss issues on the Military Workgroup Forum, or simply dive in and begin contributing. If you'd like to be an editor, please ask the Editor in Chief to be added to Category:Military Editors.
