New developments at the Military history WikiProject
Over the last few months, the Military history WikiProject ("MilHist") has launched several major new initiatives aimed at improving content within its scope, including the Academy, Operation Majestic Titan and Operation Great War Centennial. In addition, the WikiProject's semi-annual coordinator elections concluded with the promotion of TomStar81 to lead coordinator, the selection of a new coordinator tranche, and the granting of emeritus status to former lead coordinator Roger Davies.
Existing programs, meanwhile, have continued to enjoy considerable success, with the most prominent being the A-class review system. Statistics collected earlier this year showed that military history articles have a significantly higher chance of successful promotion to featured article status than the average article—a trend which is, in large part, related to the quality of MilHist's reviews.
Analysis by MBK004 shows that 70% of military history articles nominated as featured article candidates were promoted against an overall average of 51%, and that 84% of promoted articles had successfully passed an A-class review.
