Turning 150: An interview and a discussion |
The editors are very pleased to mark the achievement of 150 editions of The Bugle.
The Bugle was first published in March 2006. Until October 2010 it was edited by the coordinator team as a whole. Climie.ca and The ed17 became the inaugural editors that month, in an edition which also established the current format. Ian Rose replaced Climie.ca a year later, and Nick-D replaced The ed17 in October 2012. There have also been several guest editors, including TomStar81 and Peacemaker67.
Throughout its history The Bugle has sought to provide members of the project with an update on recent activities, recognise editors' achievements and encourage new and improved articles. Over time its scope has increased, and it now regularly includes op-eds on military history topics or issues related to developing articles, as well as book reviews. Occasional features include interviews and review essays. Importantly, these have been contributed by many members of the project, for which we and previous editors have been grateful. As many other Wikipedia newsletters have struggled to put out regular editions, or have become defunct, reaching 150 continuous editions is a notable milestone for the project.
All 150 editions of the newsletter are available at its archives.
To mark the occasion, we've interviewed some of the key figures in the newsletter's history. We are also very keen to hear your reflections on The Bugle, and ideas for the future.
