It has recently been brought to the attention of [[WP:PW]] that the newsletter is being to delivered to several users who have not been actively editing for several months. As a result, their talk pages have become increasingly large, unmanageable and slow to load due to a lack of archiving.<br />In response, this message is being sent to all editors listed in [[:Category:WikiProject Professional wrestling participants]] to say that anyone who '''''does not''''' list their name at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active]] before '''May 16''' will be automatically listed at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam]], and will no longer receive the newsletter or any notification of it. 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]]. Thank you for your co-operation. ♥[[User:NiciVampireHeart|<font color="black">'''Nici'''</font>]]♥[[User_talk:NiciVampireHeart|<font color="purple">'''Vampire'''</font>]]♥[[Special:Contributions/NiciVampireHeart|<font color="red">'''Heart'''</font>]]♥ 00:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

'''''—Project'''''
*As part of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Resolutions 2010|the project's New Year's Resolutions]], there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 5%. As of May 9, we are at '''7.70%''', with '''370''' 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs|stub article subpage]].
*Based on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list|members list]], there are currently '''244''' members participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling|WikiProject Professional wrestling]].
**If you are actively editing and contributing to articles under the scope of WP:PW, it is suggested that you add your name to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list/Active|list of active members]].
*A recall is ongoing to see which active members of WP:PW still wish to receive the full newsletter fortnightly. Those that do should add their name to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active]] before May 16.
