- Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
I think this task is suitable for its own project, rather than coming under any of the above. The Milcastle articles have a degree of similarity, but each adds it own part to the story of Hadrian's Wall.

Discussion
[edit]- Perhaps this could be more easily done under the umbrella of WP:MILHIST, either within the fortification task force or as a new group in the incubator? Given the relatively small number of articles involved, I'm not sure that the administrative overhead of an entirely separate project would be worth it; you'd likely wind up spending more time on building infrastructure than on actual article work.

- I think this overly replicates the Fortifications task force, as well. 70.24.251.71 (talk) 06:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
