The Reviewing Drive is a backlog reduction drive, which will run from 00:01 UTC on 1 April through to 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2021. The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project; however, only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. This year the drive is focused on the following areas:

More specific notes about what these entail can be found below. Only quality reviews will be accepted; project coordinators will spot-check claimed entries and reserve the right to disqualify reviews that they deem to be substandard. Gaming the system is frowned upon and may result in disqualification from the whole drive.

Scoring

You will receive points for each article/page you work on, based on the schedule listed below.

Notes

The coordinators will post awards to your talk page within a few days of the end of the drive once entries have been checked and scores tallied.

Now you can begin working on articles in the categories listed above. For each article:

1. Review the selected article
2. List the article under the appropriate category in your worklist section, as well as a link to the review page
3. For A-Class or Featured article reviews, indicate if the review is a content review, source review, or image review.

Questions about the drive can be asked on the talk page here. In the first instance, please use the {{@MILHIST}} notification to gain a co-ordinator's attention.
