Military history edit
Thank you for adding this content to Military history, that article could really use some more work, we sorely are underevloped in our coverage of history and historiography. On Wikipedia we have a policy called WP:Verfiability which means that anything that could be percieved as an opinoin, and thus have challengers, needs to be cited in a reliable source. Like I said, the statements you added are very much correct, however, in order for the statement to stick on Wikipedia, you will need to reference it to some type of academic article or discussion. I hope you continue to edit, and am glad to suport you as much as you may need as you get used to the community. I left some basic readin gup above in the template, and if you ever have any questions feel free to ask me. The best advice I can give however, is Be bold and try to expand areas you know but be ready to get advice from experienced users who are trying to defend the quality of the content on Wikipedia. Happy editing!!! Sadads (talk) 12:02, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
