Bay of Pigs Invasion

This was a very important battle in the cold war. The Cuban Missile Crisis would not have occurred if this operation had succeeded; which made the United States promise not to invade Cuba again. Fidel Castro has stayed in power (well basically) ever since. Hello32020 13:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Operation Prime Chance

Another important U.S. operation conducted during the Iran-Iraq War, this one was nearly concurrent with Operation Earnest Will. As with Earnest Will, this page looks like a prime candidate to become featured if it can get a little TLC from the Military History Project. For this reason, I am nominating the article as a collaboration for the fortnight.

Operation Praying Mantis

Another important U.S. operation conducted during the Iran-Iraq War, this one resulting from the Iranian mining of the U.S. Navy frigate Samuel B. Roberts. As with the other two, this page looks like a prime candidate to go featured if it can get a little TLC from the Military History Project. For this reason, I am nominating the article as a collaboration of the fortnight

2. It's rather small for an interesting piece of history - and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten attention earlier. --Nomader^Talk 23:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Mozambican War of Independence

I have started off this article to the best of my ability, and have entered it here for collaboration for two reasons. Firstly, I am finding it very difficult myself to find information on the topic, while there are books available i can't find any in my local library etc. and it would be brilliant to see the article thrive with collaboration with other users. I have tried to draw attention to it before, to no avail unfortunately. My second reason is based on comments on my userpage by User:Mike McGregor (Can), who suggested the idea of an African military wikiproject dealing with (amongst other things) African independence wars. It is my hope that the creation of a good article on the mozambican war of independence through collaboration will help rally support for the aforementioned wikiproject. Many thanks,--SGGH 09:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not going to be in country when the next article for collaboration is chosen, rest assured I'm still beaming my support for this article across the Atlantic! --SGGH 11:05, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Crossbow

The basic reason for this nomination is that I got sick reading repeated times pseudocitations and the struggle who "invented" this thing. The last case was an editor emphasizing its Asian roots and dissing the gastraphetes as less efficient without source or argument. In some cases the cited content may not exactly correspond to the named sources. Unfortunately it demands knowledge of too many different aspects for the currently active editors.
