—Project

As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 5%. As of February 14, we are at 10.07%, with 472 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.
Based on the members list, there are currently 236 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.

Editing Tips

This section is devoted to helping project members become familiar with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

The Biographies of living persons policy should be strictly adhered to 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 neutrally, from a non-point of view perspective.

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.
Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
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.
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.
