...for reverting my user page back. I got pissed off at vandals who keep wrecking the [[List of Rugrats Characters]] page, and put a rant on the talk page. So...one of the little bastards decides to vandalize *my* page. How mature... Thanks again, though. --[[User:SigmaX54|SigmaX54]] 00:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to the inaugural edition of '''the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter'''! I hope this will be a good source of news to those people interested in what's happening around our pro wrestlimg community. I plan to release it every Sunday.

This newsletter will just be a way to get the community announcements to people who don't have the time to check the mesageboards, as well that to those just curious about the news. The newsleter will consist of a ''project news'' section (to do with what's happening on Wikipedia), and a ''current events'' section (relating to news in the "real world"). The newslette will also contain the Collaboration of the Week announcement.

That's all. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please post them at [[User talk:The Chronic/WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter|this talk page]].

Welcome to the ''second'' issue of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Professional_wrestling/Outreach/Newsletter|WP:PW newsletter]]. We apologize for the delay. There was an issue regarding the delivery process.

Anyways, we had a lot of good feedback for the last newsletter. We not only received feedback at the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Outreach/Newsletter|newsletter's talk page]], but ''I'' also received some messages on my talk page as well. Thank you to those who responded. The only complaint we received was about [[typographical error|typos]], and we will try our best to keep the newsletter error-free.

Please continue to offer feedback and new ideas for the next issue. The more we have, the more we'll know how to improve the newsletter. Again, thanks!

*Former TNA professional wrestler [[Chris Harris]] has officially signed with [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] as confirmed by himself in his personal website.
*[[Ron Killings]] and [[Paul Wight|The Big Show]] are still being reported as to having signed WWE contracts. As there is no reliable source for anything of the sort, be prepared for their names to be continually added to the [[World Wrestling Entertainment roster|WWE Roster]] article and information about their returns being added to their own articles. There is also apparently an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old '''K-Kwik''' gimmick.
*[[Bobby Lashley]] is being reported to have been released by WWE. His profile has been removed from WWE.com. But again, there is no reliable source for his release, so be prepared to revert his removal from the roster article and edits to his own article.

As I'm sure you noticed above, this is the 20th edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! It has come a long way since the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Issue 001|first issue]], and I'm sure it will only improve from here. I'd like to thank everyone reading this for continuing to read the newsletter, biweekly.

I'd like to especially thank those who have helped to get the newsletter to it's 20th edition; [[User:The Hybrid|The Hybrid]], [[User:The Chronic|The Chronic]], [[User:TJ Spyke|TJ Spyke]], [[User:Alex Roggio|Alex Roggio]], [[User:LAX|LAX]], [[User:ThinkBlue|ThinkBlue]], [[User:Nikki311|Nikki311]], [[User:GaryColemanFan|GaryColemanFan]], [[User:Gavyn Sykes|Gavyn Sykes]], [[User:D.M.N.|D.M.N.]], [[User:Nahallac Silverwinds|Naha]], [[User:NiciVampireHeart|NiciVampireHeart]], [[User:SRX|SRX]], [[User:Zenlax|Zenlax]] and, [[User:RkOrton|RkOrton]].

Also, lastly I'd like to thank [[User:Misza13|Misza13]], for sending the newsletter out for us, though his [[Wikipedia:Bot|bot]]. His bot has to be the most important part of the process, because without it, the newsletter would not get sent to project members.

I know that's a long list, but they all deserve recognition for their hard work towards the newsletter. So again, thank you to that list of people, and thank you to all of the newsletter's biweekly readers. If you have an questions, comments, or feedback about the newsletter, remember those links below.

Thanks, man

[edit]

...for reverting my user page back. I got pissed off at vandals who keep wrecking the List of Rugrats Characters page, and put a rant on the talk page. So...one of the little bastards decides to vandalize *my* page. How mature... Thanks again, though. --SigmaX54 00:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

... for reverting the vandalism. I've given up on this guy. Waiting for some admin to notice my complaint at WP:AIV. - TwoOars (T | C) 22:37, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, a vandal who corrects his own spelling. Anyway don't bother reverting. Just let him do whatever till he gets blocked. - TwoOars (T | C) 22:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

From the Editor

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! I hope this will be a good source of news to those people interested in what's happening around our pro wrestlimg community. I plan to release it every Sunday.

This newsletter will just be a way to get the community announcements to people who don't have the time to check the mesageboards, as well that to those just curious about the news. The newsleter will consist of a project news section (to do with what's happening on Wikipedia), and a current events section (relating to news in the "real world"). The newslette will also contain the Collaboration of the Week announcement.

That's all. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please post them at this talk page.

Hi,
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.
