This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style ↗ and general editing tips.
#All Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point-of-view ↗.
#Do not overlink ↗ terms in an article, only make links where they are relevant to the context, and only link each item once. Tables ↗ are the exception to this rule, e.g. the results table in pay-per-view articles.
#When editing an article, use the 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 ''RAW ↗'' and ''iMPACT! ↗'', should be written as ''Raw'' and ''Impact!''.

----
This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the 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 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 overlinking ↗ in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. Lists ↗ are the only exceptions to this policy.
#The 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 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 verifiable ↗.
:#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a non-point of view ↗ perspective.

:List of Extreme Universe characters ↗

left|48px| ↗A tag has been placed on :List of Extreme Universe characters ↗, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators ↗ wait a while for you to add contextual material.

'''''—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 2, we are at '''11.96%''', with '''505''' 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 '''225''' members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling ↗.

The style guide ↗ has been updated to reflect the new consensus on the formatting in the "In wrestling" sections of biographies, and the new format can be found at WP:PW/SG#In wrestling ↗. Please help out in converting all biographies to the new format.

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style ↗ and general editing tips.
#The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and a list of topics that are close to Good topic ↗ status is listed here. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to Good Article ↗ status.
#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 ↗.
#The 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 reliable source ↗ and go against the 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.

#The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and a list of topics that are close to Good topic ↗ status is listed here. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to Good Article ↗ status.
#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 ↗.
#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 overlinking ↗ in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. Lists ↗ are the only exceptions to this policy.
#Do not give undue weight to recent events ↗ in articles.

WPS Awards

Hi there! I appreciate your enthusiasm in making articles for most of the WPS awards and a category for said articles, but I'm not sure it was necessary/appropriate to do so. Most of the award articles are stubs and will be for a while, and there were several mistakes besides.

Also, out of curiosity, why did you create a second "See Also" division in the 2009 season article?

Anyway, hope to see you around! =-)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Guerrero-Maya-Jr.jpg

64px|left|File Copyright problem|link= ↗
Thanks for uploading ''':File:Guerrero-Maya-Jr.jpg ↗'''. However, it currently is missing information on its '''copyright''' status and its '''source'''. Wikipedia takes copyright ↗ very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the '''image use policy ↗''' to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on '''copyright tags ↗''' may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page ↗. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion ↗ and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [{{fullurl:Special:ListFiles/Bigkhrisdogg}} a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 22:02, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Guerrero-Maya-Jr.jpg

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thanks for uploading or contributing to ''':File:Guerrero-Maya-Jr.jpg ↗'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria ↗, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page ↗, and edit it to include a non-free rationale ↗.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions ↗" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion ↗ and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you.

<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history ↗ of each individual file for details.</span> Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of Progress Chapter Two: The March Of Progress

Hello. Thank you for previously encouraging me with creating wrestling-related articles. I have a request for you. I recently started working on a project which has the objective of documenting all of Progress Wrestling's Chapters from first to least with mainspace articles for each. However it wasn't too much until I stumbled upon a deletion tag for the second-ever event of this kind. The user blames the notability of the event and I tried to explain them that my idea is to somehow categorize all of these events as a book with pages. I tried to find the best possible links to coverages. Is it possible that you could throw an eye on the situation or even help me out in the deletion debate? Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards! JeyReydar97 (talk) 21:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

::I'll see what I can do about it. However, I think there is still too early to create the page since the event is taking place at the end of August and the match card might be close to inexistent as of now. A lot of changes can occur in one month and a half time. If I forget about it, maybe you can take your chance and at least try to start it.
