Welcome to WikiProject Brazil on the English Wikipedia! We are a project dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to Brazil, with an emphasis on subjects with regional and national significance. This project was formed to coordinate the development of Brazil related articles and help maintain the Brazil Portal. Some project goals are to help list and categorize Brazil related articles, develop quality standards for articles and build templates that help users browse the articles that fall under this project. This project also provides a place for Wikipedians to share information and resources regarding improvements to Brazil related articles. Here, editors can ask for help with certain articles and bring otherwise overlooked articles and problems to the attention of other editors. For more information of the role of WikiProjects, check out WikiProject guidelines. The goals of this group are; to provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that describe aspects of Brazil, to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Brazil by creating, expanding, and maintaining factual articles, to serve as the point of discussion for issues related to Brazil in Wikipedia. To achieve the goals, this project group has developed features to help in managing its creative work. It includes Departments, which coordinate work on certain tasks, such as peer review or project-wide collaboration and Work Groups, and focus on content and articles related to Brazil, such as states, politics and history.

 * 2) Military personnel, including both leaders and common soldiers, as well as other people involved in military affairs.
 * 3) Military units and formations, ranging from small units to national armed forces.
