Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy/Site-wide rulings that effect the Military history WikiProject

While the Military history WikiProject is by rights one of the best run WikiProjects on Wikipedia, it is still part of the English Wikipedi and therefore still subject to certain decisions and consensus made at the site-wide level. These rulings directly impact the ability of the project members to edit freely in a given area, and it is important that a MILHIST coordinator be aware of rulings on these matters in order to implement a proper response.

Similarly, certain editors are considered hazardous to Wikipedia's health and have been unilaterally blocked/banned from Wikipedia. Despite this, determined editors will find a way to disrupt Wikipedia in order to add their content, and it is important that a coordinator have a passing understanding of which editors and what subjects to watch for in order to spot and alert the project to potential issues.

What follows is a brief summary of rulings as they related to areas and editors within MILHIST's scope. This is not intended to be a complete list, and information here is likely to be greater use to Wikipedia's Administrator corps than it is to the average Wikipedia Coordinator.

Arbcom
Wikipedia's Arbitration committee serves as a board whose goal is to address certain problematic issues and editors by ruling on given matters. An Arbitration decision effects both editors and the subject, although the extent to which these are effected depends on the ruling in question. This section therefore lists arbitration rulings that directly or indirectly impact the Military history WikiProject and give a brief explanation of the ruling. More detailed information may be found on the relevant arbitration page.
