Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Incubator/Egyptian military history

Welcome to the Egyptian military history group, an initiative of the Military history WikiProject that aims to improve and better organize Wikipedia's coverage of Egyptian military history, from ancient times up to the present day, a topic that is somehow badly represented on the encyclopaedia. The plan, for now, is to gather all the interested editors and useful resources in one place in order to achieve efficiency and high-quality content.

Timeline of the Sinai insurgency	List	Fitzcarmalan (inactive on this topic since August 2015; see here)	Outdated, and the article's current list format may look more suitable for an encyclopaedia if converted into table format with prose that includes more detailed information on the conflict's events.
