Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/March 2020/Project news

Welcome to the third Bugle for 2020!

As the regular article news section notes, an unusually low number of articles were promoted to featured status in February. The number of new A-class articles was about average, however. There are quite a few active nominations for featured and A-class status, so extra reviewers would be very helpful.

Our project backlog drive March Madness 2020 is about halfway through and is making significant inroads. Over 850 pages have been tagged for Milhist, more than 310 Milhistbot-assessed articles have been checked, and task forces have been added to more than 1,100 articles. We've also made a significant dent on the Good Article reviewing front. Great work so far, keep on going!

Finally, we'd like to wish all our readers the very best in light of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic.

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