Requests for assessment

Editors can self-assess articles against the five B-class criteria(FAQ) up to and including C-Class. If you have made significant improvements to an article against one or more of B-class criteria and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below, specifying which criteria you have worked on. If you feel unable to assess against one or more of the B-class criteria, please say so when posting. Requests for formal A-Class review should be made at the review department. Please consider entering articles you have improved in the military history article writing contest.

Experienced assessors are encouraged to take a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators#AutoCheck report for August and check a few of ≈ B-Class assessments. Feel free to downgrade them if you consider they don't meet one or more the criteria. Please also delete any that you have checked. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Spaceflight/Assessment, whose articles often overlap with military history topics.

  • Portuguese conquest of Hormuz Expanded by me. Wareno (talk) 00:55, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
    The article looks good for B Class except that the lead (introduction) is too short for B-class, and especially for such a detailed article. Please expand the lead. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Academy/Writing an effective article introduction and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section for more information. Please post a reply here when this is done so the assessment can be finished at B class. Then I think a good article review would be appropriate. But note that the requests for good article assessments are quite backed up. See Wikipedia:Good article nominations if you have not submitted one before and are interested in pursuing a review at that level. Thanks Donner60 (talk) 07:32, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
    I have made the changes you @Donner60 and @Hawkeye7 have requested and hoping the article is now fit for B Class. Wareno (talk) 19:01, 29 July 2026 (UTC)
    James-Baillie Fraser (1825) generates a warning that the book is too old for an ISBN. Consider using the form <surname, given names> for the References and moving all the book references into that section. Also: Who is Fraser (fn 2)? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:47, 26 July 2026 (UTC)
    @Wareno: Is Fraser 1828 (fn 2) or 1825? What is Brás 1875 (fn 22)? Is it Earle & Villers 1990 or Earle & Villiers 1990 (fn 32)? Also: there are now ISBN incompatbility warnings for Boxer, Fraser and Wilson. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:40, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
  • Hans Roehrig (Hans Röhrig) —A Luftwaffe fighter pilot. Note, I requested the page to be moved from Hans Röhrig to Hans Roehrig, move pending. Please review MisterBee1966 (talk) 08:33, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
    Meets all MILHIST B-class criteria but use one name spelling throughout and double check numbers (for example table dates 10th victory to 6 August while prose says 20 August). Aeengath (talk) 13:25, 28 August 2026 (UTC)
  • Convoy PQ 15 B pls Keith-264 (talk) 10:55, 29 August 2026 (UTC)
    B-class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 05:11, 30 August 2026 (UTC)
  • Assessed B-class. Donner60 (talk) 17:59, 31 August 2026 (UTC)
