Welcome to the ninth Bugle for 2021!
First of all, voting has begun in the 2021/2022 coordinator election. Voting ends at 23:59 UTC, 28 September, so please stop by. There is also a nomination for Coordinator Emeritus.
Turning to this edition of the Bugle, the regular article news section features many new FA and A-class articles. The book reviews section includes two entries by Hawkeye7 on the history of the British Army and so-called 'niche wars', as well as the usual round-up of reviews published elsewhere. Nick-D has contributed a very topical op-ed on the perils of defence procurement which includes some tips on writing Wikipedia articles on the topic.
Welcome to the new members who joined the project during August: A._C._Santacruz, Kailanmapper, tintinkien, Bluecountrymutt, Bzuk, Dafranca, JWilliamCupp, Jwillbur, Minipup, Randoperson1, Ratnahastin, Riddley, sofonias2000100 and TijlBogaerts.
Your editors, Ian Rose (talk) and Nick-D (talk)

In another tightly contested round of the article improvement contest Gog the Mild again squeaked into first place in August with 43 points from four entries. Zawed and Hog Farm tied for the second place spot with 36 points each. Tomobe03 and Djmaschek also submitted entries. This means that in the overall contest the three leading scorers are only 13 points apart. As always, ensure the articles you work on are entered for the current edition of the contest.
