Add A-Class=current to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax).
From there, click on the "currently undergoing" link that appears in the template. This will open a page to discuss the status of the article.
Place === [[Name of nominated article]] === at the top.
Below it, write your reason for nominating the article and sign by using four tildes (~~~~).
Add{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of A-Class review requests below.
If an article is nominated a second (or third, and so forth) time, either because it failed a prior nomination, or because it may no longer meet the standards and may thus need to be demoted:
Be sure to provide a prominent link to the last archive at the top of the nomination statement (e.g. "Prior nomination here.").
There is no limit on how quickly renominations of failed articles may be made; it is perfectly acceptable to renominate as soon as the outstanding objections from the previous nomination have been satisfied.
Commenting
The new Milhist A-Class standard is deliberately set high, very close to featured article quality. Reviewers should therefore satisfy themselves that the article meets all of the new military history A-Class criteria before supporting a nomination. The quality scale will be supplemented by a FAQ in due course. As with featured articles, any objections must be "actionable"; that is, capable of rectification.
Closing and archiving
Reviews remain open for a maximum of one calendar month or until such earlier time as a project coordinator determines that either (a) clear consensus to promote or to fail exists or (b) no consensus will be reached (in which case the status quo prevails). Consensus to promote normally requires (a) that at least three uninvolved editors consider the article has met all five military history A-Class criteria and (b) that any criteria-based objections have been entirely resolved.
To close a review, coordinators should:
Add {{subst:archive top}} and {{subst:archive bottom}} to the top and bottom of the review subpage, respectively.
Change the A-Class=current in the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page to either A-Class=pass (if the nomination is successful) or A-Class=fail (if it is not), and update the assessment class if needed.
Update (or add) the {{ArticleHistory}} section at the top of the article's talk page to record the review.
Move the {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article}} from the list of requests below to the current archive page.
Any editor in good standing may request a reappraisal of an A-Class article's status. The procedure is as follows:
Edit the code in the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page from A-Class=pass to A-Class=current and save the page.
The Milhist project banner will now read: "This article is currently undergoing an A-Class review". Click on the currently undergoing link. This will take you to the last A-Class review for the article's promotion.
'''Reappraisal review''': I am nominating this article for reappraisal because it may no longer meet the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/A-Class|A-class criteria]] ~~~~
:'''Reviewers''': Please say whether Milhist should '''Keep''' or '''Demote''' this article. Reviewers should satisfy themselves that the article fails on at least [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/A-Class|one A-class criterion]] before recommending '''Demote''' and should explain their reasons when commenting.
Return to the article's talk page and update the link for the last review in the {{ArticleHistory}}.
Update the transclusion in the relevant assessment archive page, found by using the "What Links Here" feature.
Add{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article}} at the top of the list of A-Class review requests below.
Keeping or demoting
Reviewers should satisfy themselves that the article meets the current military history A-Class criteriaFAQ. Any demotion comments should specify the criterion/criteria which the article appears to fail.
Closing and archiving
Reviews remain open for a maximum of one calendar month. A project coordinator will close the review and determine either (i) that clear consensus to keep exists or (ii) that the demotion comments reasonably reflect failings to reach the current A-Class standard. Absent consensus, the status quo prevails.
To close a review, coordinators should:
Add {{subst:archive top}} to the top and {{subst:archive bottom}} to the bottom of the review subpage.
Change the A-Class=current in the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner on the article's talk page to either A-Class=pass (keep) or A-Class=fail (demote).
Update the {{ArticleHistory}} section at the top of the article's talk page with either kept or demoted.
Move the {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Name of nominated article}} from the list of requests below to the current archive page.
