Very interesting:

Miniature wargaming is a form of wargaming which incorporates miniature figures, miniature armor and modeled terrain as the main components of play. Like other types of wargames, they can be generally considered to be a type of simulation game, generally about tactical combat, as opposed to computer and board wargames which have greater variety in scale.

"as opposed to computer and board wargames which have greater variety in scale."

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't there different scales for the minis as well as well as tactical/operational/ strategic level miniature games?

I am just saying…

Dear Captain John Miller.

That is dealt with in paragraph two, just after the quote above.

On the whole, for Wikepedia, it's not bad, in fact fairly even handed and good.
