Requests for assessment

Editors can self-assess articles against the five B-class criteria^(FAQ) up to and including C-Class. If you have made significant improvements to an article against one or more of B-class criteria and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below, specifying which criteria you have worked on. If you feel unable to assess against one or more of the B-class criteria, please say so when posting. Requests for formal A-Class review should be made at the review department. Please consider entering articles you have improved in the military history article writing contest.

Experienced assessors are encouraged to take a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators#AutoCheck report for June and check a few of ≈ B-Class assessments. Feel free to downgrade them if you consider they don't meet one or more the criteria. Please also delete any that you have checked. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Spaceflight/Assessment, whose articles often overlap with military history topics.

• Portuguese conquest of Hormuz Expanded by me. Wareno (talk) 00:55, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

  The article looks good for B Class except that the lead (introduction) is too short for B-class, and especially for such a detailed article. Please expand the lead. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy/Writing an effective article introduction and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section for more information. Please post a reply here when this is done so the assessment can be finished at B class. Then I think a good article review would be appropriate. But note that the requests for good article assessments are quite backed up. See Wikipedia:Good article nominations if you have not submitted one before and are interested in pursuing a review at that level. Thanks Donner60 (talk) 07:32, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

  James-Baillie Fraser (1825) generates a warning that the book is too old for an ISBN. Consider using the form <surname, given names> for the References and moving all the book references into that section. Also: Who is Fraser (fn 2)? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:47, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

• Special forces of Rhodesia - considerably expanded in response to an AfD. Nick-D (talk) 10:07, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

  Will add it to my watchlist to improve where I can, if it survives the AFD which it seems like it will. Not sure it's at a B-class yet. B1, B3 and B4 are fine. B5 was missing a supporting material or graphic last time I checked. B2 is borderline -- it's got basic coverage but I'd like to see more coverage, particularly around TTPs and training process, and actual operations. I'll leave it at Start for now, but I think it would be trivial to get up to C. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 17:40, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

• Adalbert Schneider — German naval officer, please review. Thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 15:27, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

  Not a review, but note that Adalbert_Schneider#Promotions is not well visible in dark mode; consider removing the transparency. A.Cython(talk) 16:26, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

  B class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:47, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

• Philip Ensor: new article, please assess. Thanks in advance, Zawed (talk) 10:22, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
  • B class. Be advised that Kampfgeschwader is better translated as Bomber Wing--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:20, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

    The problem with Wing (military unit) is that it has two meanings, one by the USAF and one by everybody else (including the USN). Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:47, 26 July 2026 (UTC)

• Operation Turkey — new article on a harsh Rhodesian counter-insurgency tactic Nick-D (talk) 11:02, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

  Meets all MILHIST B-class criteria. -Aeengath (talk) 12:24, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

• HMS Nelson (1814) Please assess for B class--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 12:13, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

  B class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:43, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

• Convoy QP 15 B pls Keith-264 (talk) 17:03, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

  Meets all MILHIST B-class, but one question @Keith-264: the infobox says "3 merchant ships sunk" but the body seems to only document two, Goolistan and Kuznetz Lesov, is a ship missing? Aeengath (talk) 18:18, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

  • The third ship is the Soviet destroyer, I'll clarify Regards Keith-264 (talk) 18:58, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

    B class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:43, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

• HMS Conqueror (1855) Please assess for B class.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:29, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

  B class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:43, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

• Pacifism in France. Please could I have an assessment for B-class and ideas on how to improve? Thanks.Equivalent-Text2598 (talk) 19:42, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

  Grammar seems off. "Jacques Fontanel argues led to pacifism", "Although previously, Police had focused on preventing this Pacifist sentiment in Parisian inteligensia" Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:43, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

  @Hawkeye7 Thanks for your feedback, is it better now? Equivalent-Text2598 (talk) 21:45, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

  @Hawkeye7. Just tagging you, sorry. I think I have fixed this. Thanks for your feedback.

  Are there any other errors/things stopping it from hitting B-Class.

  Thanks. Equivalent-Text2598 (talk) 21:46, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

• Gelimer the last Vandal King, please assess for B-class. It also needs a WPMH banner at the talk page. Thank you. A.Cython(talk) 22:43, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
