Welcome to the second Bugle edition for 2018!
This edition features a huge collection of new A-class and featured content in the article news section. The new A-class articles include no less than four joint nominations, which may be a record for a single month. The book reviews section also includes plenty of content, Nick-D assessing a book on the Royal Navy in the Napoleonic Wars, and Hawkeye7 looking at two books on World War II.
Hawkeye7 has also contributed this month's op-ed, which discusses the divergence in the organisation and doctrine of the national components of the British Expeditionary Force during 1918. TomStar81's regular summary of this month in World War I covers dramatic Central Power gains in Russia and some important Allied advances in Palestine.
Lastly, we'd like to announce an upcoming edit-a-thon, which will take place in April. The April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive aims to target several areas including tagging and assessment, improving our task forces, and content creation. This year's drive will also see collaboration with Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red to try to improve our coverage of topics related to women in the military - which is currently rather under-developed. The drive will begin on 1 April and continue through to the end of the month. Interested editors are encouraged to sign up now at the link mentioned above.
Your editors, Ian Rose ( talk) and Nick-D ( talk)
Interested in contributing? |
The Bugle is always looking for contributions from members of the Military History Wikiproject. These can cover pretty much anything relevant to the project, including reviews, op-eds and how-to guides. The Bugle's archives provide an indication of what's been covered in previous editions.
If you'd like to contribute to future editions of The Bugle, submissions can be posted directly at The Bugle's newsroom here. Alternately, if you'd prefer to draft a contribution in your user space, the editors can move it across.
The editors would be very pleased to discuss ideas for articles, or provide feedback on drafts.
