From the editors

 

Welcome to the second Bugle for 2023!

Rather unusually, no articles were promoted to A-class in January. Many A-class reviews are open, and members of the project are encouraged to contribute to assessing whether these articles meet the A-class criteria or not.

More happily, six articles within the scope of the project were promoted to featured status in January, as were four pictures. The article news section covers these articles and images.

Following on from Nick-D's article on military sites in the UK last month, Catlemur has provided a great review essay on military museums and sites in Athens. Staying on the topic of reviews, Hawkeye7 has reviewed two books - one covering the challenges of translating languages, and the other the Anglo-American alliance during World War II.

Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)


Awards and honours

  • There were no awards last month.


Contest department

 

MilHist's traditional article writing contest has kicked off for 2023, with eight editors submitting a total of 28 articles in the opening round of the year. Zawed emerged the winner by a whisker with 45 points (six articles), beating Sturmvogel_66 (also six articles) by a single point. Zawed takes the WikiChevrons for January, while Sturmvogel_66 has to be content with the Writer's Barnstar. Honourable mentions go to Pickersgill-Cunliffe, Hog Farm, Gog the Mild, Djmaschek, and Catlemur, who submitted the remaining entries.

If you are up for a bit of friendly competition, consider submitting the articles you are currently working on for the February round of the contest.
