Instructions for updating
- Locate the article with the most votes; in a tie, keep open for 24-48 hours for tiebreaker to find the new USCOTM.
- Adjust WP:WikiProject United States/COTM/current to the current USCOTM (keep the wikilink).
- Add
{{UScur|date=April 2024}}to the new one. The old one should have the template left on, as it will automatically indicate it is no longer under the focus of the drive. - Correct the new changing date located above at WP:USCOTWN
- Update the information on WP:USCOTWHIST, adding the information about the last USCOTM and the date, # of votes, article name, and # of words onto the top of the wikitable.
