* With end of year exams beckoning for many members, this has been a quiet month on the talk pages for Milhist. (If you are facing exams yourself, we all wish you the very best of luck!) During this quieter period, some of our most active reviewers are busy revising so it would be really appreciated if you can help with peer reviews or A-Class reviews. You can easily track articles needing review, by copying {{tl|WPMILHIST Review alerts}} to your userpage.
* This month sees our first newsletter editorial. The idea is to provide regular tips and hints to help editors get up to speed with our large (and sometimes complicated) project. This month's piece, by [[User:EyeSerene|EyeSerene]], explains the workings of the project's main template, which is at the core of the project's tagging and assessing activities. &nbsp;[[User:Roger Davies|<span style="color:maroon; font-variant:small-caps">'''Roger&nbsp;Davies'''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Roger Davies|'''talk''']]</sup> 20:26, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

; <big><span style="color: steelblue;">Editorial: "How to use the Milhist template"</span></big>

Welcome to a new occasional feature of The Bugle, where over coming issues we'll be exploring some of the roles, tasks, and technical functions that go into creating what archivist and researcher [[Simon Fowler (author)|Simon Fowler]] has described as the best general resource for military history on the internet.<sup>†</sup> As a project we can rightly be proud of that accolade, and we gratefully acknowledge the debt we owe to those dedicated editors from across Wikipedia that have helped to make the Military history WikiProject what it is today.

Many editors' first inkling of milhist's existence is when they spot our project banner on an article talk page. The banner can be easily added to appropriate articles by any editor, by typing '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST}}</nowiki>''' at (or near) the top of the talk page on a new line, and saving the page with an appropriate [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]]. This short form of the template will add the article to our project, and also flag the article as needing assessment and assignment to a task force by automatically adding it to the [[:Category:Unassessed military history articles|unassessed articles]] and [[:Category:Military history articles with no associated task force|articles with no associated task force]] categories.

As with many templates in use on Wikipedia, additional parameters can be specified. Possibly the most useful to include is the class parameter, because this will help out any editors who come along later to assess the article. To add the class parameter, edit the template markup to look like '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST|class=}}</nowiki>'''... and if you wish, have a read through the assessment guidance on milhists's [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment#Quality scale|quality scale]] and assign a rating from Stub- to B-Class yourself. A banner template with, for example, a Stub-Class article rating will look like '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST|class=stub}}</nowiki>'''. Because B-Class is assessed against a checklist it has some additional parameters, so when adding the project banner to an article talk-page, even if you don't intend to assess the article yourself it can be a real help to subsequent editors to include these too. This version of the template can be entered as '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST|class=|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=}}</nowiki>'''. For detailed guidance on exactly what the five B-Class criteria are, see the [[WP:MH/B|B-class checklist]].

Finally, when adding the milhist banner it's useful to assign the article to one (or more) of our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Task forces|task forces]]. This will help to bring it to the attention of those editors most likely to be interested in, and knowledgeable about, the subject. As with assessment, task force assignment is accomplished by adding a parameter to the template—in this case, simply the name of the task force followed by ''=yes'' (or ''=y''). For example, to assign a Start-Class article to the Second World War and Canadian task forces, the template should read '''<nowiki>{{WPMILHIST|class=start|B1=|B2=|B3=|B4=|B5=|WWII=yes|Canadian=yes}}</nowiki>'''.

For a full list of all the banner template parameters and more detailed usage instructions, see [[Template:WPMILHIST]]; if you are unsure as to whether or not an article belongs with milhist or what task force(s) might be appropriate, or if you have any other questions, you are welcome to ask at our [[WT:MIL|main project talk page]]. Happy templating! [[User:EyeSerene|<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#4B0082">EyeSerene</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:EyeSerene|<span style="color:#6B8E23">talk</span>]]</sup>

Hello! I recently created a [[WP:Village Pump (proposals)#Automatically Updating Editcounts|village pump proposal]] and [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/EditCountBot|request for bot approval]] for a bot that automatically updates editcounts for use in userboxes, templates and such. We are currently discussing the benefits and drawbacks of such a bot, as well as various different ways in which it could be implemented. Since you are a member of [[WP:WikiProject edit counters|WikiProject edit counter]] I thought you may be interested in participating, your input at the discussions would be very welcome. - [[w:User:EdoDodo|<span style="color: #21421E; font-family: Harrington;">EdoDodo</span>]] <sup>[[w:User talk:EdoDodo|<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;color:#33dd44">talk</span>]]</sup> 08:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Space|WikiProject Space]] member! A discussion has been started regarding the future of WikiProject Space [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Space/2010 Reorganisation|'''here''']]; any comments you might have would be welcome! There are mainly two competing ideas: 

# Centralize all the Space-related WikiProjects, such as Astronomy and Spaceflight, and merge them into WikiProject Space, or
# Separate the Astronomy and Spaceflight "sides" of WikiProject, and remove WikiProject Space. 

If you can think of other options, that's great too. Your contribution to the discussion would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

== WikiProjects Moon and Mars activity ==

Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the space-related WikiProjects, some changes have been made to the lists of members of WikiProject Moon ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Moon/Members|here]]) and Mars ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mars/Members|here]]). If you still consider yourself to be an active editor either of these projects, it would be appreciated if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the number of active editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!

==WikiProject Colorado==
{{WPbox|Colorado}}{{Portal|Colorado}}{{NBbox|United States}}
The year 2011 has brought many changes to the [[State of Colorado]].  Several users have asked us to reactivate [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Colorado|'''WikiProject Colorado''']].  We have a new Governor and other state officers, two new U.S. Representatives, many new state legislators, and a new Mayor of Denver.  Many articles about Colorado need to be updated and many Colorado places, people, and organizations need new articles.  [[Portal:Colorado]] needs some new featured articles.

Can you help us?  Please see our list of some [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Colorado#Requested articles|'''requested articles''']].  If you would like to remain an active member of WikiProject Colorado, please leave me a message at [[User talk:Buaidh]] or e-mail me at [[Special:EmailUser/Buaidh]].

==Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Colorado==
It was recently suggested that [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Colorado|WikiProject Colorado]], to which you are a member, may be inactive or semi-active and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject United States|WikiProject United States]]. After reviewing the project it appears that there haven't been much active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the projects talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. Another user has added the project to the WPUS template and I added it to the list of supported projects in the WPUS main project page but before I take any further action I wanted to contact each of the active members for their input. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 23:32, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:File:Typhoon in Hong Kong.jpg]]==
[[Image:Information icon4.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:File:Typhoon in Hong Kong.jpg]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#F2|section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the '''[[File talk:Typhoon in Hong Kong.jpg|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  <!-- Template:Db-noimage-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Sfan00 IMG|Sfan00 IMG]] ([[User talk:Sfan00 IMG|talk]]) 12:19, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

== Invitation to the African Destubathon ==

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon|African Destubathon]]''' which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
