Welcome to the seventh Bugle for 2021!

After some lean months recently, this month's article news section includes five new A-class articles, six new featured articles, three new featured pictures and a new featured list. Congratulations to the editors who nominated this content!

The book review section has a World War I theme, both works covering lesser-known theatres of the war. has reviewed a book covering the somewhat neglected naval war in the Adriatic Sea, and covers a recent and very detailed work on the Australian capture of German New Guinea in the war's opening months.

The quarterly reviewing awards for April to June have been handed out, with a total of 168 FA, FL, A-Class, GA and peer reviews conducted by 23 editors in the last quarter. Good to see a few new names among the reviewers. These numbers are significantly down on 2020, where the lowest quarter had over 230 reviews. Top of the list was Buidhe with 29 reviews, Hog Farm (22) and Sturmvogel 66 (17) also receiving the WikiChevrons. Thanks to all who reviewed, you made a significant contribution to the throughput of quality content by this Project.

Lastly, project members are reminded that Coordinator Elections will be held in September. As always, all project members are encouraged to participate either by voting for coordinators or by running for one of the open positions. The project has two academy essays that may be of use to you: becoming a coordinator and advice from former coordinators. Please feel free to ask questions of the current coordinators as well.

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