Eddington experiment
editThe best account on-wiki seems to be Tests of general relativity#Deflection of light by the Sun. The article mentioned there, Kepler problem in general relativity, turns out to be a general article about the mathematics of the general problem. I'm wondering what the best title for the experiment would be. Category:Physics experiments has articles closest to what I'm thinking of (though the Category:Experiments looks like it needs re-organising). I'm thinking either "experiment" or "expedition". We have Category:Scientific expeditions. The article could also focus on the eclipse, though that distracts from the expedition and experiments. Seeing as the article should cover the results and the impact and the later history, it should be "experiment". Maybe Eddington experiment and/or 1919 Solar Eclipse Expeditions? There are also (though less widespread) the names Dyson-Eddington experiment and Dyson-Eddington-Davidson experiment. People: Arthur Stanley Eddington, Frank Watson Dyson, Charles Rundle Davidson [1]. Paper: "F. W. Dyson, A. S. Eddington, and C. Davidson, Phil. Trans. Royal Soc. London. Series A 220 (1920) 291-333".

National war graves agencies
edit- Commonwealth War Graves Commission
- American Battle Monuments Commission
- French equivalent (good basis for an article - National Commission for French Military Graves)
- Also: are there equivalents in Russia and other countries in Europe?
World War One memorials and related topics
editIf the memorial commemorates a large number, and the designer, date of unveiling, and who unveiled it, are known, then that should be enough for an article on it. Smaller memorials can be noted in the article on the battles.
- Arras Memorial (created)
- Loos Memorial (created from a redirect)
- Pozieres Memorial (created)
- Le Touret Memorial (created from a redirect)
- Villers-Bretonneux Memorial (created)
- Vis-en-Artois Memorial (created from a redirect)
- Soissons Memorial (created)
- Delville Wood Memorial (created)
- Beaumont-Hamel Memorial (already written)
- Messines Ridge Memorial
- Arras Flying Services Memorial
- Sir Gilbert Dyett (created) (1891-1964), an Australian Victorian-born Gallipoli veteran, founder and President of the Returned Services League 1919 to 1946 ([4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]).
- Lieutenant-General Sir Louis Vaughan (created) (1875-1942). Nicknamed 'Father', Louis Ridley Vaughan was chief of staff to General Sir Julian Byng, commander of the Third Army from May 1917 until the end of the war (this army fought at the Battle of Cambrai), and was Byng's representative at the unveiling of the Cambrai Memorial ([12], 'Byng of Vimy: An Appreciation', Army Quarterly, LXXI (October 1935), pp. 11–16 by Lieutenant-General Sir Louis Vaughan, [13], [14], "The best known photo of Louis Vaughan (5th from the left in the back row - Cambrai, 11/11/18)", "Obituary from the The Times, Tuesday, Dec 08, 1942; pg. 6; Issue 49413; col E".).
- If we have an article on Cross of Sacrifice, we can have one on Stone of Remembrance (created) as well. See the Commonwealth War Graves Commission#Cemetery design section.
- A fascinating overlap between war poetry and commemoration is The King's Pilgrimage (created), a poem and book about the trip undertaken by King George V in 1922, touring the war cemeteries and memorials in France and Belgium.
- American Battle Monuments Commission - they have excellent details on their website of the WWI memorials they are responsible for. And there are a number of redlinks that can be filled in (11 redlinks for WWI monuments), and articles expanded (the eight WWI cemeteries and memorials are articles already, but some may only be stubs). Examples: Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial ([15]), and Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial ([16]).
- The CWGC produced a massive set of registers of the dead, and published and still do publish updates as well. For an example, see here. For a big listing of them, see here. These can be used to describe the memorials (the area of the battlefields they covered, the time period, and the forces inscribed on them), and can be used for consistent and reliable descriptions. An example of the later CWGC updates and corrections is here.
- An additional CWGC resource is here, though note that the CWGC provide a lot of documentation freely through their website, and that will be more up-to-date.
- It may be possible to find some of the inscriptions on Flickr, and then search for the text online to confirm and find a source. For examples, see here and here.
- There is a heart-rending story here about a German set of statues known as 'The Mourning Parents'. We have an article an picture already, but possibly could be expanded a bit.
- A very nice introduction here to the series of articles from 'Your Archives'.
- The Times Digital Archive - search for "La Ferte sous Jouarre" brought up 20 hits, of which several are excellent articles on that memorial and the WWI memorials in general.

- Video
Don't forget the online archive of Pathe News. Some amazing clips there.
- 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 Commemorative Museum is another possibility (it covers three wars, but is on site of Delville Wood Memorial, so close ties to the WWI battlefield and memorials). Also note (if not done already) the bit about how 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.
- Lists
- 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 Poets’ Corner (with other poets), but a separate list would allow more freedom to annotate and give the context: Richard Aldington, Laurence Binyon, Edmund Blunden, Rupert Brooke, Wilfrid Gibson, Robert Graves, Julian Grenfell, Ivor Gurney, 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 the Canadian Army in the Second World War, 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
edit- 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
edit- Physics
- Chemistry
- Earth science
- Astronomy
- Botany
- Zoology

Steere, Jr. (born 1936) was chief executive of Pfizer, see for example William and Lynda Steere - not to be confused with his father (William C. Steere) and his son William C. Steere III. See also Pfizer past CEO Steere, a key company builder, retires from its board (from 2011). Still involved with the Pfizer Foundation (philanthropic organisation).

Hayden Memorial Geological Award
editAs 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
editOne 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
editHas 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)
