[edit] OpenTasks

Here are some open WikiProject Reenactment tasks:

Major work needed:
- Goals and scope need to be defined
- Comparison of historical reenactment events needs serious improvement
- Lists of groups needs serious improvement:
- Historical reenactment needs to be abstracted (currently focusses on American Civil War)
- Authenticity (reenactment) needs to be expanded (currently focusses on less-authentic medieval reenactment)
- Codex Belli needs an English summary of the basic ruleset
- Living history needs to be expanded
Articles to write:
- Stone Age reenactment (might be just experimental archaeology)
- Ancient reenactment for Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, etc?
- Dark Age reenactment (redirect to Medieval reenactment?)
- Modern reenactment for 18th-20th century reenactment (American Civil War, Napoleonic Wars, World War II)
- Articles for major reenactment groups? (What defines a "major" reenactment group anyway?)
- Article about gunnery displays? Might be crossreferenced for details on black powder focused reenactment groups
- Boer War reenacting is a new (and experimental) trend, primarily with mostly modern reenactors.
- Category:Middle Ages weapons is looking really bare at the moment.
- American Civil War firearms category is not generalized; there is only a Category:American Civil War rifles.
