—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 March 28, we are at 7.85%, with 373 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 242 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.

This section is devoted to helping project members become familiar 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 WP:PW/SG#Sources.
2. A list of unreferenced wrestling-related BLPs is generated here. Please help out by sourcing these articles.
3. Please consider helping out with the project's cleanup listing by fixing problems listed and removing the article from the listing.
4. Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
5. The Biographies of living persons policy should be strictly adhered to when adding to information to biography articles.

1. Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a reliable source and is verifiable.
2. Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written neutrally, from a non-point of view perspective.
