Articles

• 'The Gardener' (short story by Kipling - also look at his other war poetry, fiction and reports).
• Disambiguate The Gardener to list several meanings for this phrase.
• Full text (poor OCR) of the book The King's Pilgrimage is here: [17]; [18]; [19]; [20].
• Other Kipling short stories related to the war are: 'Mary Postgate' and 'The Debt'.
• Ideas for Kipling's war poetry and stories: 1) Short stories "The Gardner", "Mary Postgate", "The Debt": [21], [22], [23]; 2) Look at the Kipling Society for a good overview of his war ouvre: [24]; "Kipling and Shaw’s attitudes to war" (no link), [25], [26], [27]; 3) General listing of Kipling's war works: [28] - seems not to include poetry; 4) General WWI poetry again: [29].
• Gilbert Clayton (created) looks interesting ([30]) - was found on requested articles at the WWI portal.
• List of Colonel Generals has several Austro-Hungarian generals that could be filled in using this website
  .
• Specifically Leopold Freiherr von Hauer, covered here, and also found on requested articles at the WWI portal.
• Follow up on the TV documentary Not Forgotten: Soldiers Of Empire ([31]) - in particular the West Indies bit, and also a much more ambitious article on British Empire and World War I and/or British Empire in World War I ([32]). What we have seems to be what is currently at British Empire#First World War.
• The Muse in Arms (created) - relatively famous book of poetry published during the war (for an example of an article on a WWI poetry anthology published much later, see Up the Line to Death).
• Lots and lots of WWI war poets could have articles - need to be selective here.
• Guerres Mondiales et Conflits Contemporains ([33]) - major history journal on the world wars - others include Journal of Contemporary History and Vingtième Siecle
  .
• Ireland and World War One - excellent article (in fact that whole BBC site is excellent) - some names and articles include: Ireland and World War I, Francis Ledwidge, Tom Kettle, 36th (Ulster) Division, 10th (Irish) Division, 16th (Irish) Division, Tom Barry, John Redmond and his brother Willie Redmond, James Connolly, Patrick Pearse, James Larkin, "The 12 July Orange parades were cancelled, and five minutes' silence was observed in Belfast that day" - cover the reasons for joining up to fight in the war, the Rising during the war, the links with Germany (e.g. Roger Casement), different responses after the war by Protestant (Unionist) and Catholic (Nationalist) communities, and the various memorials.
• Something could be written on the official war artists (most or all of whom have articles). The beginnings of lists are at war artist, but the details of how the UK handled this in WWI and WWII are here and here and here and here. The War Artists' Advisory Committee was set up for World War II, and for World War I the official body was a committee at the "Ministry of Information" (something also needs to be written about that, as it seems several different organisations in the UK in WWI had responsbility for propaganda and wartime information), and the key point is here: "In 1916 the Ministry launched the Official War Artists scheme". Find a name for that scheme and that can be the starting point for a short article mentioning who organised this and who the artists were.
• Delville Wood was replanted with acorns from South Africa, themselves from trees descended from acorns brought to South Africa from Europe ([34]
  ).
• The Ypres League (created) looks like a fascinating story. See here.
• Australian Historical Mission has lots of material available: [35], [36], [37]
• St Barnabas Society (not to be confused with the current Catholic converts organisation, or the shelter for the homeless in Hong Kong, but some sources are here:[38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45]).
• A fantastic resource on New Zealand in WWI is here.
• There are numerous personal accounts of the war online, such as this one. A project space list of such resources might be useful.
• An article on the Graves Concentration Units might be possible. See the pdf linked here, and here. For a list of such subsidiary units of the British Army in WWI, see here and similar lists elsewhere (easy to overdo this, there are a lot of these support units, though in this war in particular, the ration of support units to combat units was increasing).
• Memorial Gates (created) on Constitution Hill. See here and here and image here
  .

• If redlinks filled in on
  List of Colonel Generals
  , work some more on that.
• More work on List of Commonwealth War Graves Commission World War I memorials to the missing in Belgium and France (co-ords, fill in redlinks, get map sorted, and so on).
• List of the 16 Great War Poets commemorated at Westminster Abbey (source). They are already listed at
  David Jones, Robert Nichols, Wilfred Owen, Herbert Read, Isaac Rosenberg, Siegfried Sassoon, Charles Sorley, Edward Thomas
  .
• List of British Army generals who died during World War I (see here).
• List of the commanders (Corps generals and above) of the British Army in World War I. See
  List of British corps in World War I, Category:Corps of the British Army in World War I, and chapter 7 ('The Donkeys') in Mud, Blood and Poppycock (Corrigan, 2003). See also the painting 'Some Generals of the Great War' (1922, John Singer Sargent) which is captioned by Corrigan in his book (centrefold spread of photos and paintings). See also here (NPG) and here (Wikimedia Commons). There is an equivalent commission for the politicians, see here (NPG) and here (Wikimedia Commons). For a larger challenge, extend this to other branches of the British Armed Services, to all the high levels of military leadership in the war, include some politicians, and include all combatant nations. Start has been made here
  .
• List of official histories of World War I. Maybe extend more generally to other wars and other official histories. See
  Official History of Australia in the War of 1914-1918, History of the Great War, History of the Second World War. Some links: [46], [47]. If Official Histories is too vague or narrow, then look at categorising or listing multi-volume history works, such as [48], [49], [50], [51]. The second one is not an official history. The third and fourth could be merged. A good list of official histories is here
  .
• List of World War I anthologies is possible, using resources like this Word document from the Birmingham Centre for First World War Studies (HTML version), the Echenberg War Poetry Collection, and other sites such as Poetry of the First World War (from Scuttlebutt and Small Chow), and also the Oxford site and others listed elsewhere on this page or on the "to improve" page. More poetry links: [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58].
• Look for other lists to start or work on.

Alerts

• Keep an eye on Template:WPMILHIST Announcements/World War I and Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/World War I task force/Article alerts - those pages seems to be key to following content matters on WWI that the task force is aware of, and both look very helpful.

Journals ideas

• Pick 6-8 major sciences, and the most prestigious current journals for those sciences.
• Do the same, but for countries and going back in time, to get idea of how this has changed over time.
• For the same 6-8 major sciences, pick out the oldest journals, with the longest history.

Major sciences

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Earth science
• Astronomy
• Botany
• Zoology
• Biochemistry
• Medicine
• Mathematics

The above is a bit subjective, of course.

Royal Geographical Society lists

• Template:RGSPresidents
  has two redlinks, but if that completes it, then turn into a list.
• Gold Medal (RGS) - rename to expand abbreviation, and then carry on where someone else left off here.

Hayden Memorial Geological Award

As of the date of writing, one red-link left (fr:Gustave Dewalque), also need to check whether the awards have ended or if updates are needed.

Cunningham Medal

One red-link is John Christian Malet (1847-1901). It is not that easy to find more than fragmentary biographical information. He was Professor of Mathematics at Queen's College, Cork (now University College Cork) from 1880 to 1887 (pp.105-106 in Mathematics in Victorian Britain, 2011). And he was a student at Trinity College Dublin. Try to find obituary in usual places. Death announced in: Science, New Series, Vol. 14, No. 365 (Dec. 27, 1901), pp. 1021-1024 [90]. His publications are under "John C. Malet". [91]

Actonian Prize

Has two red-links: George Warington [1840-1874] (difficult, died young in Africa of consumption aged 34 on 25 February 1874, see here) and Benjamin Thompson Lowne (easier - see here). Carcharoth (talk) 13:06, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
