The contest department of the Military history WikiProject aims to motivate increased quality in military history articles by offering a form of friendly competition for project members making improvements to them. The primary contest available is a simple rolling competition that awards points for improving articles, as originally developed by the LGBT studies WikiProject.

The contest is simple in structure and administered by the project coordinators:

1. The contest runs from the first to last day of each month. Editors nominate the articles they intend improving and have until the end of the month to make the improvements.
2. As articles are reclassified, nominees are expected to update the table with improved grades and add the appropriate points.
3. Early the following month, a project coordinator checks the entries, and tallies them up. At their discretion, coordinators may include points from A-Class and FA reviews which close slightly after the last day of the contest period.
4. The coordinators tally the nominators' points totals; determine the monthly, quarterly, and annual winners; and select one article from each assessment class per month to be highlighted as examples on the project's quality scale.

[edit] Contest entries

Please note that this section is now a separate, transcluded sub-page, which you might like to watchlist separately. Thanks!

The beginning class of the article is the classification at the beginning of the month. Please add entries in alphabetical order by user name in the following form:

 | [[User:Username|Username]] || [[Talk:Article name]] || Entry class || End class || Points || Checked |- 

Nominees should track their own entries, updating the table with the new classes and points earned as articles are reclassified (to avoid month-end congestion). This is self-scoring (but not self-assessing) so requests for assessments should be made through the normal channels. At month end, the closing coordinator will check the points claimed and tally them up; and update the master scoreboard.

For the scoring period ending 31 December
