This is the home page for the new B-Class Assessment Drive (BCAD).
The drive is due to start about 11 March 2008. Add this page to your watchlist to follow developments.

Coordinator/s: Roger Davies

Welcome to BCAD - the Military history WikiProject initiative for experienced wiki-gnomes to tidy up B-Class Milhist articles with incomplete B-Class checklists.

The drive

Last year, we changed the B-Class assessment system. We introduced a five-point checklist: each criterion needs to be fulfilled for the article to be promoted. In summary, these are that the article:

• B1 - is suitably referenced and cited;
• B2 - reasonably covers the topic;
• B3 - has a defined structure, including a lead section;
• B4 - is free from major grammatical errors;
• B5 - contains appropriate supporting graphics, infoboxes, or images.

However, the {{MILHIST}} template also contains an override, so an editor can change the class to B-Class without completing the criteria parameters.

The objective of this drive is to ensure that (1) all five criteria are completed and (2) articles not fulfilling the five criteria are re-graded to Start- or Stub-class.

The rewards

As a token of our appreciation for your efforts, we will be presenting the following awards:

• 
  Three stripes (500 articles)
• 
  Chevrons (1000 articles)
• 
  Golden Wiki First place

You need to qualify for the three Stripes, you need to work through 500 articles for the Three Stripes and 1000 for the WikiChevrons. The editor with the top tally overall will also be awarded a Golden Wiki.
