—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 September 26, we are at 6.96%, with 348 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 247 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 lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article.
Please consider helping out with the project's cleanup listing by fixing problems listed and removing the article from the listing.
Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
The Biographies of living persons policy should be strictly adhered to when adding information to biographical 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.
