The table to the right shows the current article assessment statistics for this task force. A list of the top 500 most popular articles within our scope, as well as the number of page views each article received over the past month, can be found here. With most of our articles assessed as Stub- or Start-Class, there's a lot of work to be done. However, we also have a number of good, A-Class, and featured articles, which have been assessed as amongst the best Wikipedia has to offer. These article serve as a yardstick for what can be achieved and should be aimed for, and can provide ideas about how to write an article and what sources to consult; they are listed below: This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Japanese military history task force articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.
