#Consider expanding an article from the project's list of [[:Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles|stub articles]] and nominating it at [[Template talk:Did you know|Did You Know?]]. The project's goal is to have 100 total DYKs by the end of the year.
#All Wikipedia articles should be written from a [[WP:NPOV|neutral point-of-view]], representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources.
#When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)]].
#Addition of content that is likely to be challenged in an article needs to be [[WP:VERIFY|verified]] with a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]
#Do not [[WP:OVERLINK|overlink]] terms in an article, only make links where they are relevant to the context.
#When creating an article that has an image, make sure the image is right-aligned in the lead or in the [[WP:INFOBOX|infobox]], per [[MOS:IMAGES]].

#When editing an article, use the [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] to provide a brief summary of your edits; this helps users understand what was changed in the article.
#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]].
#Per [[WP:MOSCAPS]], television shows, such as ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]'' and ''[[TNA Impact!|iMPACT!]]'', should be written as ''Raw'' and ''Impact!''.

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[WP:MOS|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#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]].
#Refer to [[WP:NC]] during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, be [[WP:BOLD|bold]] and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a [[WP:Naming conflict|naming conflict]], follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
#Avoid [[WP:OVERLINK|overlinking]] in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. [[Wikipedia:Lists|Lists]] are the only exceptions to this policy.
#The [[Wikipedia:Lead section|lead section]] of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article's contents. The size of the lead will depend on the size of the article.
#Adhere strictly to the [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|Biographies of living persons]] policy when adding to information to biography articles.
:#Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a reliable source and is [[WP:V|verifiable]].
:#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a [[WP:NPOV|non-point of view]] perspective.

----
This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[WP:MOS|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#[[WP:TRIVIA|Trivia sections]] are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
#Avoid adding statements that will [[WP:DATED|date]] quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
#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]].
#The [[WP:LEAD|lead section]] of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article's contents. The size of the lead will depend on the size of the article.
#Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See [[MOS:BOLD]] for appropriate uses of bold text.

*As part of [[User:Nikki311/NYR|the project's New Year's Resolutions]], there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of July 5, we are at '''11.97%''', with '''499''' 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs|stub article subpage]] of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
*Based on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list|members list]], there are currently '''225''' members participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling|WikiProject Professional wrestling]].
*The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Cleanup listing|WP:PW cleanup listing]] was updated again on June 21. Please help out with fixing any of the problems listed, and removing them from the list.

'''''—Project'''''
*As part of [[User:Nikki311/NYR|the project's New Year's Resolutions]], there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of July 5, we are at '''11.72%''', with '''492''' 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs|stub article subpage]] of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
*Based on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list|members list]], there are currently '''225''' members participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling|WikiProject Professional wrestling]].
*A discussion is currently ongoing regarding the "In wrestling" sections of biographies. Please join in [[WT:PW#Changes in style|here]].

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#Adhere strictly to the [[WP:BLP|Biographies of living persons]] policy when adding to information to biography articles.
:#Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] and is [[WP:V|verifiable]].
:#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a [[WP:NPOV|non-point of view]] perspective and is neutral.
#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]].
#If a sentence seems to be untrue or does not have a source, add a <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tag directly after it. In the case of biographies of living persons, if the material is contentious and either unsourced or poorly sourced, it should be removed immediately.
#Please remember that [[WP:FUR|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.
#If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] from the project first.

#The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed [[User:Nikki311/NYR|here]], and a list of topics that are close to [[WP:GT|Good topic]] status is listed [[User:IMatthew/Featured topics|here]]. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status.
#If you come across an article that fails [[WP:N|notability]] requirements, you can tag it for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] if the criteria apply, [[WP:PROD|propose]] it for deletion, or nominate it at [[WP:AFD]].
#The [[WP:LEAD|lead]] section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article's contents. The size of the lead will depend on the size of the article.
#Please avoid adding rumors to articles. Most rumors cannot be sourced with a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] and go against the [[WP:BLP|Biographies of living persons]] policy.
#Be aware of the new format in the "In wrestling" sections of biographies, and apply the relevant section ([[WP:PW/SG#In wrestling]]) to new articles that you create, or previously created articls that have not yet been updated after the change.

:#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a [[WP:NPOV|non-point of view]] perspective and is neutral.
#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 [[WP:FUR|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.
#Refer to [[WP:NC]] during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, [[WP:BOLD|be bold]] and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a [[WP:NCON|naming conflict]], follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
#[[WP:TRIVIA|Trivia sections]] are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.

Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status.
#If you come across an article that fails [[WP:N|notability]] requirements, you can tag it for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] if the criteria apply, [[WP:PROD|propose]] it for deletion, or nominate it at [[WP:AFD]].
#If a sentence seems to be untrue or does not have a source, add a {{fact}} tag directly after it. In the case of biographies of living persons, if the material is contentious and either unsourced or poorly sourced, it should be removed immediately.
#Avoid [[WP:OVERLINK|overlinking]] in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. [[WP:L|Lists]] are the only exceptions to this policy.

*As part of [[User:Nikki311/NYR|the project's New Year's Resolutions]], there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%.

*Based on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list|members list]], there are currently '''230''' members participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling|WikiProject Professional wrestling]].

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#[[WP:TRIVIA|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 [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] from the project first.
#Please familiarize yourself with the general [[WP:N|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, [[WP:BOLD|be bold]] and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a [[WP:NCON|naming conflict]], follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
#Avoid adding statements that will [[WP:DATED|date]] quickly, for example "soon" and "now".

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#Do not give undue weight to [[WP:RECENTISM|recent events]] in articles.
#If you come across an article that fails [[WP:N|notability requirements]], you can tag it for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] if the criteria apply, [[WP:PROD|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 [[WP:FUR|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 [[WP:WTA|words to avoid]]. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#[[WP:CRYSTAL|Wikipedia is not a crystal ball]], so do not add speculation about future events to articles.
#Help out with the project's [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Cleanup listing|cleanup listing]] by fixing problems listed and removing the article from the listing.
#The [[WP:LEAD|lead section]] of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article.
#If you come across an article that fails [[WP:N|notability]] requirements, you can tag it for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] if the criteria apply, [[WP:PROD|propose]] it for deletion, or nominate it at [[WP:AFD]].
#Be aware of [[WP:WTA|words to avoid]]. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.

If you are added to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam]], please feel free to remove your name if you desire.<br />If you wish to continue receiving the newsletter as normal, please add your name to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active]]. If you simply wish to receive '''''notification''''' of a new issue, but not have the full newsletter delivered to your talk page, please add your name to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Notification list|notification only list]].<br />If you have any queries please contact me at [[User talk:NiciVampireHeart|my talk page]] or leave a message at [[WT:PW]].
