How to add to the community bulletin board

The community bulletin board has 2 sections that can be used by Wikipedians for announcements: "Events and projects" and "WikiProject notices". In general, keep it concise (under 2 lines), refrain from fancy formatting, and new entries should be placed at the top of their section.
  • Before editing, make sure you are on Wikipedia:Community bulletin board, not Wikipedia:Community portal, where the board is transcluded.
  • Events and projects: In this section, only organized events, projects, and/or competitions should be listed. These are organized by how often they occur:
    • The Yearly section is for uncommon events, like events that only occur every year, once, or irregularly. The Monthly section is for events that occur each month, or are always ongoing.
  • WikiProject notices: In this section, any announcement, request for help or other notice from a WikiProject should be listed here.
    • Entries should be signed, and ordered from newest to oldest.
    • Entries are to be removed after a period of 6 months.

Welcome to the community bulletin board, which is a page used for announcements from WikiProjects and other groups. Included here are coordinated efforts, events, projects, and other general announcements.

Yearly or infrequent events

Monthly or continuous events

  • Monthly contest, WikiProject Military history. 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. The contest runs from the first to last day of each month.
  • Guild of Copy Editors' editing blitz. The October 2024 editing blitz is a one-week-long effort by the Guild of Copy Editors to reduce its backlog. The themes are: articles on the GOCE Requests page from June to August 2024, and articles on the June 2023 and July 2023 backlog. It will begin on 13 October, 00:00 (UTC), and end on 19 October, 23:59 (UTC). Stay tuned for the next event.
