—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 July 5, we are at 11.97%, with 499 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 WP:PW cleanup listing was updated again on June 21. Please help out with fixing any of the problems listed, and removing them from the list.
