—Project

As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of August 16, we are at 12.24%, with 527 articles currently in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
Based on the members list, there are currently 230 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.

Editing Tips

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain consensus from the project first.
Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
Refer to WP:NC during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, be bold and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a naming conflict, follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".

Editing Tips

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

Do not give undue weight to recent events in articles.
If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, you can tag it for speedy deletion if the criteria apply, propose it for deletion, or nominate it at WP:AFD.
Avoid using dirtsheets as sources. Adhere to WP:RS when adding information with a source to articles. For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
Please remember that fair use images and media can be only be used if no free equivalent is available or could be created. Fair use images uploaded when a free equivalent exists will be deleted.
Be aware of words to avoid. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.
