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!
The second month of the 2020 Military History Article Writing Contest attracted nine participants. First place was taken by Parsecboy with a 79 points from seven articles to take the WikiChevrons, followed by Harrias with 34 points to receive the Writer's Barnstar. Also scoring were Djmaschek, Gog the Mild, Kges1901, Peacemaker67, Robinvp11, Sturmvogel 66 and Zawed. Congratulations and thanks to all participants. You can self-assess up to C-class for the contest, but B-class assessments need to be done by another editor. This is best organised by posting at WP:MHAR. Make sure to add your entries for the March contest as soon as they are promoted, this allows the coords to check them progressively.
