—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 December 6, we are at 12.63%, with 601 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 of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve is included on the stub article subpage.
- As part of this, the project's second stub drive has been set up, and will run until the end of 2009. Please help out if you can.
Based on the members list, there are currently 233 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.

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.
Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
When adding headers to articles, do not add wikilinks to them and only capitalize the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns.
Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and we only have short amount of time left to achieve them this year. Please consider helping out by achieving an aim listed.
