Requests for assessment
[edit]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 December 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.

- Davis Tillson - another American Civil War general, just created, could use a check against B-class criteria. Thanks in advance ...GELongstreet (talk) 03:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Bot assessed C class. Bot determined that coverage and accuracy criteria not met. I suggest adding a few sentences to the lead and separating the biography section into Early life, American Civil War and Later life sections, though they will be brief. APPLETONS’ CYCLOPAEDIA OF AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY VOL. VI. SUNDERLAND—ZU RITA has an entry for him. This appears to have some additional information. Since it was published in 1888, he was still alive. I earlier downloaded information from this book since it is available online. I was gathering information on the few generals who still needed biographies but did not find time to proceed. I don't remember a reason but I didn't note the online info for citation so I cannot readily add it here. I think it can be easily found, however. Donner60 (talk) 19:33, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Bot has instructions not to issue a B to an article with a one-sentence lead. Also, i Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:53, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

List of aerial victories claimed by Herbert Ihlefeld— Please assess, thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:39, 3 January 2025 (UTC)- Changed bot assessment to BL class. Bot noted b1 not met. I see no deficiency in citations and assume the bot thought the list key should have a citation. It doesn't need one. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 19:50, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Can we get a reference for the two spitfires shot down over London on 11 September 1940? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:53, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- @MisterBee1966 and Hawkeye7: Thanks. Missed those. Reading through too fast, I guess. Donner60 (talk) 20:04, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- @MisterBee1966 and Hawkeye7: Rolled back premature reassessment; had it up already and inadvertently clicked to add it. Donner60 (talk) 20:09, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Donner60 and Hawkeye7: The claims on 11 September 1940 are linked to the source by Mathews and Foreman, now explicitly cited. Please see the legend, the respective column, and the section heading. Cheers MisterBee1966 (talk) 20:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- @MisterBee1966 and Hawkeye7: Reassessed as BL class. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 08:35, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Military cooperative, one from Category:Military history articles needing attention only to supporting materials, I added some relevant images that might help it achieve the b5 criteria? - Dumelow (talk) 10:25, 3 January 2025 (UTC)- B class. I have added a subsection and sentence that these are called Commissaries & Exchanges in the United States with a citation to a US Department of Defense website. Thanks.

List of aerial victories claimed by Alfred Grislawski— Please review and assess, thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:20, 5 January 2025 (UTC)- BL class. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 05:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Helmut Bennemann— Luftwaffe fighter pilot and wing commander. Please assess, thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 12:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)- B class. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 05:18, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
