If there is a [[WP:Naming conflict|naming conflict]], follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
#Avoid [[WP:OVERLINK|overlinking]] in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. [[Wikipedia:Lists|Lists]] are the only exceptions to this policy.
#The [[Wikipedia:Lead section|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 [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|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 [[WP:V|verifiable]].

----
This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[WP:MOS|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#[[WP:TRIVIA|Trivia sections]] are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
#Avoid adding statements that will [[WP:DATED|date]] quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
#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 [[WP:LEAD|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.

'''''—Project'''''
*As part of [[User:Nikki311/NYR|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs|stub article subpage]] of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
*Based on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list|members list]], there are currently '''225''' members participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling|WikiProject Professional wrestling]].
*The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Cleanup listing|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.

*As part of [[User:Nikki311/NYR|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 '''11.72%''', with '''492''' 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs|stub article subpage]] of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
*Based on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list|members list]], there are currently '''225''' members participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling|WikiProject Professional wrestling]].
*A discussion is currently ongoing regarding the "In wrestling" sections of biographies. Please join in [[WT:PW#Changes in style|here]].

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#Adhere strictly to the [[WP:BLP|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 [[WP:RS|reliable source]] and is [[WP:V|verifiable]].
:#Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a [[WP:NPOV|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 <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> 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 [[WP:FUR|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 [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] from the project first.

#The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed [[User:Nikki311/NYR|here]], and a list of topics that are close to [[WP:GT|Good topic]] status is listed [[User:IMatthew/Featured topics|here]]. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status.
#If you come across an article that fails [[WP:N|notability]] requirements, you can tag it for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] if the criteria apply, [[WP:PROD|propose]] it for deletion, or nominate it at [[WP:AFD]].
#The [[WP:LEAD|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.
#Please avoid adding rumors to articles. Most rumors cannot be sourced with a [[WP:RS|reliable source]] and go against the [[WP:BLP|Biographies of living persons]] policy.

Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status.
#If you come across an article that fails [[WP:N|notability]] requirements, you can tag it for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] if the criteria apply, [[WP:PROD|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 [[WP:OVERLINK|overlinking]] in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again. [[WP:L|Lists]] are the only exceptions to this policy.

'''''—Project'''''
*As part of [[User:Nikki311/NYR|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 '''12.24%''', with '''527''' 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs|stub article subpage]] of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
*Based on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list|members list]], there are currently '''230''' members participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling|WikiProject Professional wrestling]].

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#[[WP:TRIVIA|Trivia sections]] are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
#If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain [[WP:CONSENSUS|consensus]] from the project first.
#Please familiarize yourself with the general [[WP:N|notability policy]] of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
#Refer to [[WP:NC]] during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, [[WP:BOLD|be bold]] and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a [[WP:NCON|naming conflict]], follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
#Avoid adding statements that will [[WP:DATED|date]] quickly, for example "soon" and "now".

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#Do not give undue weight to [[WP:RECENTISM|recent events]] in articles.
#If you come across an article that fails [[WP:N|notability requirements]], you can tag it for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] if the criteria apply, [[WP:PROD|propose]] it for deletion, or nominate it at [[WP:AFD]].
#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]].
#Please remember that [[WP:FUR|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.
#Be aware of [[WP:WTA|words to avoid]]. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.

'''''—Project'''''
*As part of [[User:Nikki311/NYR|the project's New Year's Resolutions]], there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of November 8, we are at '''11.76%''', with '''521''' 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs|stub article subpage]] of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
*Based on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Members list|members list]], there are currently '''232''' members participating in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling|WikiProject Professional wrestling]].

----
This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and general editing tips.
#[[WP:CRYSTAL|Wikipedia is not a crystal ball]], so do not add speculation about future events to articles.
#Help out with the project's [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Cleanup listing|cleanup listing]] by fixing problems listed and removing the article from the listing.
#The [[WP:LEAD|lead section]] of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article.
#If you come across an article that fails [[WP:N|notability]] requirements, you can tag it for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] if the criteria apply, [[WP:PROD|propose]] it for deletion, or nominate it at [[WP:AFD]].
#Be aware of [[WP:WTA|words to avoid]]. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|AfD]] nomination of [[List of CZW events]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|left|48px|]]An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for [[Wikipedia:Deletion process|deletion]]. The nominated article is [[List of CZW events]]. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also [[Wikipedia:Notability]] and "[[WP:NOT|What Wikipedia is not]]").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of CZW events]]. Please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the [[WP:AfD|articles for deletion]] template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

'''Please note:''' This is an automatic notification by a [[WP:BOT|bot]]. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --[[User:Erwin85Bot|Erwin85Bot]] ([[User talk:Erwin85Bot|talk]]) 01:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|arbitration process]]. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve.

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Non-Stop Obliteration. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 00:52, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recreation of Deleted Page

[edit]

You have recreated the page Non-Stop Obliteration which was deleted once. And will be deleted again as well as your little Scorpion page. I suggest you stop making these pages and posting this garbage on your userpages. Wikipedia is not the place for your little fantasy stuff. Do not make these pages again once they are deleted, nor make any pages connected to this NSO stuff. Doing so will get you banned. Please take time to read the user information to see what is allowed to be posted on Wikipedia. --DanteAgusta (talk) 23:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of List of CZW events

[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of CZW events. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of CZW events. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter message

[edit]

It has recently been brought to the attention of WP:PW that the newsletter is being to delivered to several users who have not been actively editing for several months. As a result, their talk pages have become increasingly large, unmanageable and slow to load due to a lack of archiving.
In response, this message is being sent to all editors listed in Category:WikiProject Professional wrestling participants to say that anyone who does not list their name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active before May 16 will be automatically listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, and will no longer receive the newsletter or any notification of it. If you are added to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, please feel free to remove your name if you desire.
If you wish to continue receiving the newsletter as normal, please add your name to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active. If you simply wish to receive notification of a new issue, but not have the full newsletter delivered to your talk page, please add your name to the notification only list.
If you have any queries please contact me at my talk page or leave a message at WT:PW. Thank you for your co-operation. ♥NiciVampireHeart00:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
