RE: BNC

It is against the manual of style to have citations in the header. 2008 WWE Draft uses a different approach to source entire sections. Maybe that would be a better idea? Nikki311 21:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

From the Editors

As I'm sure you noticed above, this is the 20th edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! It has come a long way since the first issue, and I'm sure it will only improve from here. I'd like to thank everyone reading this for continuing to read the newsletter, biweekly.

I'd like to especially thank those who have helped to get the newsletter to it's 20th edition; The Hybrid, The Chronic, TJ Spyke, Alex Roggio, LAX, ThinkBlue, Nikki311, GaryColemanFan, Gavyn Sykes, D.M.N., Naha, NiciVampireHeart, SRX, Zenlax and, RkOrton.

Also, lastly I'd like to thank Misza13, for sending the newsletter out for us, though his bot. His bot has to be the most important part of the process, because without it, the newsletter would not get sent to project members.

I know that's a long list, but they all deserve recognition for their hard work towards the newsletter. So again, thank you to that list of people, and thank you to all of the newsletter's biweekly readers. If you have an questions, comments, or feedback about the newsletter, remember those links below.

[[The Miracle Ultraviolence Connection]]

The page has been made and the wrestlers have been merged... please try to expand and reference the article asap or it will end up getting prodded. As its regarding both wrestlers it should be easier to expand and maybe if the article get to a good quality and the information is sufficient then maybe they can have there own articles. Anyway good luck and a good place to start would be with some real names. --- Paulley (talk) 15:26, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

:That's ok, are they the same people that were apart of Special K, back in the day lol... if so they have quite a long history so expanding the career section and sourcing shouldn't be that much of a problem. --- Paulley (talk)

Editing tips

This is a new section in the newsletter to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style, which should help them in editing not only professional wrestling articles, but all articles in general.

Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See MOS:BOLD for appropriate uses of bold text.
If you do not want your information removed from articles, please use proper grammar and cite your sources.
Please avoid adding rumors to articles. Most rumors cannot be sourced with a reliable source and go against the Biographies of Living Persons policy.
Avoid jargon such as face/babayface, heel, turn, etc. in articles. People unfamiliar with professional wrestling will not understand what these words mean. See WP:JARGON for more information.

Our project has a cleanup listing. Please help by adding sources or expanding any articles listed here.
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).

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 verified with a reliable source
Do not 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 infobox, per MOS:IMAGES.

Deletion Discussions

::*Deleted: Chris bullock, Hexagon Crown Champion, The Face Lift, and WWE title history since Draft (2008).

::*Kept: Irish Whip Wrestling International Heavyweight Championship.

::*Redirected: SmackDown All-Star Kick-Off.

WWE Hall of Fame and the List of members of the WWE Hall of Fame articles have been merged.
It has been proposed to merge the History of World Wrestling Federation back into History of World Wrestling Entertainment after they were split.
Based on the members list, there are currently 211 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.
There are currently 584 articles in :Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.
The Broken external links and Dead links tools that assisted the project in fixing external links has not been updated for a period length of time, and as a result, it is not functioning any longer.

Editing tips

----

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

Consider expanding an article from the project's list of stub articles and nominating it at Did You Know?. The project's goal is to have 100 total DYKs by the end of the year.
Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
Addition of content that is likely to be challenged in an article needs to be verified with a reliable source
Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See MOS:BOLD for appropriate uses of bold text.
When adding an image to an article, follow MOS:IMAGES and align the image based on the direction the subject of the image is facing.

Editing tips

----

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!.

Editing tips

----

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

Consider expanding an article from the project's list of stub articles and nominating it at Did You Know?. The project's goal is to have 100 total DYKs by the end of the year, and we are currently on 74.
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.
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.
All Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point-of-view, representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources.
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.

Editing Tips

----

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.

Editing Tips

----

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.
Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
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).
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 words to avoid. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.

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 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.

Editing Tips

----

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

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 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 {{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.
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.
If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain consensus from the project first.

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 16, we are at 12.13%, with 519 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.

Editing Tips

----

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.
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.

As part of the project's 2009 New Year's Resolutions, there was an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of January 2, we are at 10.14%, with 476 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.
{{User|GaryColemanFan}} recapped the prgress of the project this year and since it's creation at WT:PW#2009 WP:PW progress.
A new set of New Year's Resolutions for 2010 have been announced at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Resolutions 2010.

List of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling albums

Hello, {{BASEPAGENAME}} … I recently encountered the article about List of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling albums and in my opinion, it either does not verifiably satisfy the Notability criteria for {{ #switch:{{lc:proposed}}

| academics = Academics

| biographies = Biographies

| people = Biographies

| companies = Organizations and companies

| groups = Organizations and companies

| fiction = Fiction

| movies = Films

| music = Music

| web = Web content

| proposed = one of the following guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia: Academics, Biographies, Organizations and companies, Fiction, Films, Music, Web content}}, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright.

I am considering tagging {{la|List of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling albums}} for deletion according to the Deletion policy … I do not have time to examine the article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature.

I have created this initial entry on your Talk page because you are either the original author of the article, or else a recent contributor to it; I will leave more detailed information regarding my specific concerns about the article on its Discussion page … please respond either there or on this Talk page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

Be sure to read Ownership of articles, and remember that Some Other Editors (including at least one administrator) may not share your opinion about the notability of the article's subject.

I do not mean to imply that your contribution is unappreciated … perhaps you should read Starting an article … and remember, there was a time when I knew less about how Wikipedia works than you know right now{{#if:|.|, and I am always available to help you become a more proactive contributor.}}

To better understand why I have used this template, please read Flag templates for deletion warnings … I realize that some of the expressed possible concerns may not be appropriate in this case.Xyberdawg (talk) 05:29, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
