The logistics department is a clearing house, where editor skills and resources can be matched to article needs. The aim is to make the path to featured article status easier by listing the specialist resources editors may need to call on to improve their articles.

The department provides assistance in several areas:

• Administrators (for help with sysop requests or general advice)
• Copy-editing (including Manual of Style compliance and comprehensive stylistic editing for featured article candidates)
• Graphics (including maps, diagrams, and charts)
• Linguistics (including simple translation and help with sourcing in a wide variety of languages)
• Personal libraries (links to editors' lists of personal book holdings)
• Photography (including clean-up and retouching, help with fair use rationales, and new images)
• Sources (including verification of journal articles)

[edit] Administrators

The project has a number of members who are administrators. Those listed below are happy to carry out any admin-specific tasks that are requested. If informal dispute resolution is needed then the project coordinators are also available. If an admin (or coordinator) has been particularly helpful, consider awarding {{subst:The da Vinci Barnstar|message ~~~~}}

• Please add your name in alphabetical order above this line.

[edit] Copy-editing

For a DIY approach, see our Academy course on copy-editing essentials

All articles can be improved by copy-editing in one form or another. An uninvolved editor looking at text with fresh eyes will see things that need fixing which the familiar editor won’t. Different articles benefit from different levels of copy-editing. Before requesting a copy-edit, decide which of the following levels is most appropriate.

1. Copy-edit lite: basic proof-reading, spellchecking, punctuation.
2. English variant conversion: for example, from American English to British English, or vice versa.
3. Naturalising: copy-edit for editors whose English is not perfect.
4. FAC prose copy-edit: flow, structure, elegance.
5. FAC technical copy-edit: MoS-compliance for dashes, hard spaces, numbers, measurement conversion.

As a thank you for good copy-editing input, nominators could consider awarding the Copy-editor's barnstar. {{subst:The Copyeditor's Barnstar|message ~~~~}}

Instructions:

• To sign up as a copy-editor, just add your name to the copy-editors list below and add the request page to your watchlist. Please provide an indication of the level of copy-editing you provide.
• To request a copy-edit, either contact one of the copy-editors direct on their talk page or list your request at the bottom of the Requests for copy-editing section below.

[edit] Copy-editors

The following editors will help with copy-edits.

• Please add your name in alphabetical order above this line.

1. Cold War - this article just failed an FAC mainly because of its prose. A thorough level-4 copy-edit is needed in my opinion. --Eurocopter (talk) 10:59, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
2. Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson - a thorough going over in preparation for advancing up to FA-class (preferably in time for a main page appearance by 23 September) would be good. I can handle the content, but an overhaul is definitely needed! Benea (talk) 18:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
3. Thomas Hines - I expect this to be a GA, and a future FA, but its been recommended that this receives a serious copyedit, so a 4 or 5 please.--King Bedford I ^{Seek his grace} 20:14, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
4. North Yemen Civil War - This article is currently going through a peer review, and it has been suggested that I ask for help here. I'm not sure exactly what level of copyediting is needed. Thanks. -- Nudve (talk) 05:11, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
5. United States Naval Gunfire Support Debate - Level 5 copyedit. Sorry for not posting sooner, but I assumed that becuase this was originally part of an FA and spun out just recently it would be in top condition. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:25, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
6. 2008 Nord-Kivu war - as much copy editing as is humanly possible. :P There's a lot of information to keep updated, and the layout is a bit lackluster; this would be a great article with a nice copyedit. Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :D} 23:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
7. National War Memorial (South Australia) - In preparation for another shot at FAC, needs a different set of eyes. Should be fairly close, but I may be wrong. :) - Bilby (talk) 04:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
8. Polish Underground State - per above, copyediting need for B-class --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 04:00, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
9. History of the United Kingdom during World War I its been identified during the A Class review that the article could do with a good copy edit, our intention is to try for FA so a level 4 copy edit would be required if possible. Thanks --Jim Sweeney (talk) 14:45, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
10. British Army during World War I it has been mentioned during the A class review that the article could use a copy edit and help appreciated --Jim Sweeney (talk) 08:34, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
11. Byzantine civil war of 1341–1347 it has been suggested during Peer Review that a native-language editor go through the article. As I intend to nominate it for A or FA class, please be thorough! :) Constantine ✍ 07:11, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

    I'll see what I can do before I leave on August 2nd. Cam ^(Chat) 04:47, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

12. USS Chesapeake (1799) I will soon be taking this article up the GA to FA ladder. I don't believe its in very bad condition but need some uninvolved readers to look over. Please comment on article talk page. Thanks. --Brad (talk) 23:58, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
13. Cleomenean War. Hoping of nominating this article for FA soon. Level 4 and 5 mostly. Kyriakos (talk) 07:22, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
14. Collins class submarine: Following comments at A-class review, and my eventual intention to take the article to FAC, I would like to request a copyedit on the article: Level 4 and 5. Thanks in advance. -- saberwyn 11:01, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
15. Battle of Morotai - I'd like to nominate this article for FA status, but I think that it needs attention from a fresh pair of eyes first. Thanks, Nick-D (talk) 23:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Graphics

Graphics add color and interest to most articles. Maps are often the single most useful addition to a military history article. They can show the deployment of forces and the lie of the land with a clarity and brevity unmatched by a description alone. Diagrams can often serve the same function. Coats-of-arms, and similar, can add color to an otherwise monochrome page. Here are some useful sources for maps:

• Wikimedia Commons Atlas
• Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection at the University of Texas
• Atlases of the History Department of the United States Military Academy
• Library of Congress Digital Maps Collection

More extensive resource lists for particular topics are maintained by the corresponding task forces.

Sometimes, no suitable graphic exists and one needs to be drawn. At other times, an existing map or diagram can be modified or tailored to suit the needs of a particular article.

The simplest solutions is to search available images in the net and link to them as long as we have no solution of sufficient quality or accuracy in commons. So, if an image is available online, but cannot be uploaded to Wikipedia, it may be appropriate to use {{externalimage}} to provide a direct link to the image and a (referenced) description of what the image depicts.

For a thank you for graphic help, consider awarding {{subst:The Graphic Designer's Barnstar|message ~~~~}}

Instructions:

• To offer help, just add your name to the graphics editors list below. Please say whether you prefer to just modify existing material or can design material from scratch.
• To request help, either contact one of the editors direct on their talk page or list your request in the requests for graphics section.

[edit] Graphics editors

• The following editors can help with modifying or creating graphics. Freehand illustrators who work on paper and can scan their illustration for uploading to Commons are also welcome. Please say whether you can create maps.

• Dhatfield (talk) - I specialise in technical illustrations like this tank. Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Images_to_improve has very capable map creators and editors and requests there are normally resolved within a few days. Highly recommended for maps.
• Mohammad adil makes vectorgraphic battlemaps.

• Please add your name above this line.

[edit] Requests for graphics

• Please explain what you are looking for, mentioning the article name, or the name of the graphic that you'd like modified, and sign the request with ~~~~.
• Graphic editors: when accepting a request, please add a comment #: Accepted. ~~~~ under the listing. When the graphic is complete, strike through the request with <s> ... </s>.

• Does anyone know how to do graphical timelines? Need eight of them to start with. Cheers and thank you in advance for contacting me--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 00:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

• Timelines are difficult. See this. Dhatfield (talk) 17:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

• the map used on Operation Totalize is in need of some reworking. Firstly, the colour scheme should probably be changed to match those of the maps used in Battle of Verrieres Ridge. Second, the legend needs to be changed to say "Allied attacks" rather than "British attacks". Notes on the image can be found here. Cheers! Cam (Chat) 23:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• I definitely recommend posting a request at the Graphics Lab for this - it'll probably be done really quickly and well there. Dhatfield (talk) 17:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Offers for teaching how to work on graphics

Please insert here offers for teaching others how to work on graphics.

[edit] Become an image restorationist

Boston, 1775: British tactical map complete with cannon deployment details.

Here's an offer for Milhist members who have an interest in images. I've located a large cache of period military maps in high resolution digital files. There's enough to cover nearly every major battle of the American Revolution and Civil War, plus a smattering of world history. This is highly encyclopedic material and it's more than I can restore alone. Want to start collecting featured picture credits? Fire up your image processing software and contact me; I'll train you. (It's been suggested that I post this here). Durova^Charge! 10:12, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Obtain online images under suitable licences

I can teach you how to search for images in the web(different search engines and settings) and how to write letters for acquiring these images under suitable licences for wikipedia. Wandalstouring (talk) 12:53, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Linguistics

Requests for translations can be addressed to Wikipedia:Translation

The aim is to provide foreign language support to editors researching articles. In addition to broadening the information available, it can help avoid reflecting the Anglosphere point of view that can sometimes come from reporting a subject exclusively from English-language sources. Examples include:

1. Providing translations of short sections from non-English sources into English;
2. Providing translations of photograph captions;
3. Providing the gist of non-English articles for evaluation as a possible source;
4. Helping with foreign language searches for non-English sources for later translation.

As a thank you for help with language problems, consider awarding {{subst:The Rosetta Barnstar|message ~~~~}}

Instructions:

• To provide language support, just add your name to the linguists list below. Please provide a list of the languages you speak.

Could you give me more information about what he writes exactly ? I also read that Mattar writes that the Mufti was not accused of any involvment by Palin Commission. This should be in that book. Could someone check ? Thank you User:Ceedjee (talk) 21:36, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

4. I'm looking for someone with access to Jane's Fighting Ships entries for the late 1980s, who can prove or disprove the fact that HMS Oberon (S09) and another, unidentified Oberon class submarine were operated by the Egyptian Navy following the subs' 1986 decommissioning from the Royal Navy. Information to that effect was added to the article on the boat, but I've removed it because I think its a hoax. See Talk:HMS Oberon (S09) for more details. -- saberwyn 20:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
