This is a new section in the newsletter to help familiarize project members with the [[WP:MOS|Manual of Style]], which should help them in editing not only professional wrestling articles, but all articles in general.
#Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See [[MOS:BOLD]] for appropriate uses of bold text.
#If you do not want your information removed from articles, please use proper grammar and [[WP:CITE|cite your sources]].
#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]].
#Avoid jargon such as [[Face (professional wrestling)|face/babayface]], [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]], [[List of professional wrestling terms#T|turn]], etc. in articles. People unfamiliar with professional wrestling will not understand what these words mean. See [[WP:JARGON]] for more information.

November 2008

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

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]
