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

1. Consider expanding an article from :Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles as part of the Stub Reduction Drive and nominating it at Did You Know?.
2. Per WP:MOSCAPS, television shows, such as RAW and iMPACT!, should be written as Raw and Impact!.
3. Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See MOS:BOLD for appropriate uses of bold text.

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

We're less than a month away from the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 and now is the time to make sure that all articles are the best that they can be. This is our busiest time and thousands of people will come to Wikipedia and will see our work. We need to show them that Wikipedia is a place to come for facts and a site that they can rely on. I can't emphasize enough how important it is for members to take part in discussions on talk pages. We have 65 members and usually less than five people step up and comment. Editing Wikipedia means is being part of a community. Take pride in what you do here and make your positions known! I hope to see you all editing like a storm next month, and don't forget to submit news for the next newsletter here. Happy editing, Grk1011/Stephen (talk).
