Welcome to the eighth Bugle for 2023!
Adam Cuerden has contributed an excellent op-ed on sourcing, using and improving images for use in Wikipedia articles. Adam is among the most prolific featured picture contributors and describes the article as potentially a "five-article series that all got published at once", so it's well worth a read.
Turning to the regular sections, the article news section includes five new featured articles, two new featured pictures and a pair of new A-class articles. The book review section includes the usual round up of interesting reviews published on other websites.
Lastly, the project's Coordinator Elections are coming up next month. All members of the project are encouraged to participate either by nominating for one of the positions or voting. The project has two academy essays that may be of interest: becoming a coordinator and advice from former coordinators. Please feel free to ask questions of the current coordinators as well.
Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)
