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 October 24, we are at 6.91%, with 347 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.
This section is intended to warn users about potential targets of vandalism and speculation: professional wrestling events from major promotions for the months of October and November.
Evan Bourne was written off television due to a shoulder injury. He underwent surgery on October 12 and is expected to be inactive for approximately four months.
This section is devoted to helping project members become familiar with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.
A list of unreferenced wrestling-related BLPs is generated here. Please help out by sourcing these articles.
Be aware of words to avoid. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.
Please consider helping out with the project's 2010 Resolutions, and help achieve one of the goals listed.
Please remember that 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.
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.

Re: Question
I'm so sorry it took me so long to respond, BulbaThor. I've snowed under in real life at the moment. First of all, welcome to wikipedia! I don't believe we've ever interacted before, but it's always nice to meet new editors with an interest in pro wrestling. Secondly, I realise this is probably too late to help, but anyone can warn a user. There's a page at WP:WARN detailing all the different templated warnings and when to use them. In this case, for unreferenced rumours either use {{subst:uw-unsourced1}} or a higher level one (e.g. {{subst:uw-unsourced3}}), or {{subst:uw-biog1}} if it's controversial and about living people. Generally with warnings, you start off low (level 1) and increase up through the levels. If you go to warn somebody and find there's already a recent level 2 (for example) on their talk page, you progress up. If the warning end up saying 'final warning' or something along the lines of 'do this again and you'll be blocked', you can report the user to WP:AIV following the instructions there. Hope this helps. :) NiciVampireHeart20:51, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bulba Thor has raised issues about a conflict of interest in the writing of this article. I am an art historian and art journalist. I have edited this article to render it objective. I have also added some historical context. Causteg (talk) 17:09, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
CWC stuff to sort out once I'm back from t'pub (and sober)
To go in article:
Prestige
Notable sides to have won the Cup Winners' Cup and some notable finals include:
1963: Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 Atlético Madrid - Tottenham became the first British side to win a European trophy, two years after becoming the first post-war side to complete the English league and cup double. Spurs beat reigning champions Atlético Madrid by a scoreline which remains the joint largest margin of victory in a one-match European final.
1972: Rangers 3-2 Dynamo Moscow - Rangers' victory was marred by a pitch invasion by their fans, which led to a one-year ban for the team from European football, marking the first time the holders were unable to defend the title.
1973: AC Milan 1-0 Leeds United - Referee Christos Michas was later banned by UEFA from refereeing international club matches due to match fixing..[1] The crowd at the final reacted to his perceived bias towards Milan that they threw missiles during the victors' lap of honour, but despite protests the result was not overturned.[2]
1979: Barcelona 4-3 Fortuna Düsseldorf - Barcelona, the tournaments most succesful participants, won the their first of their four titles.[3]
1984: Juventus 2-1 FC Porto - Juventus would go on to become the second team to follow victory in the Cup Winners' Cup with a successful European Cup campaign.
1985: Everton 3-1 Rapid Wien - Everton, who also won the English league the same season, became the second side to be barred from defending their title the following season due to a five-year ban on British clubs entering UEFA competition after the Heysel stadium disaster.
To go on talk page:
I've tried to tidy up the 'Notable Finals' a bit, including dropping some which had poor claims to notability, it still requires some work, but I'd like to hear opinions on the following before I continue:
Of the 23 finals listed, ?? involve a British team - is this bias or coincidence?
Is it necessary to mention Tottenham winning the double when it's not related to their participation in the cup?
Is the West Ham final notable for having players who would go on to win the world cup? The Bobby Moore fact is interesting trivia, but IMO doesn't make the final itself particularly notable, and would be better on his own page.
Man City (1970) have been removed because their notability came from winning a domestic cup the same season. From what I understand from wikipedia, they won the FA Cup in season 1968-69, and thus qualified for the CWC 1969-70, or am I missing something?
It's stated that Rangers were unable to defend their title due to the ban - did the winning team usually get a place in the following years competition? If so the wording needs to reflect this.
I've tried to make the Leeds-Milan final more neutral sounding - Leeds fans who know more of the subject may wish to add reliable sources that justify the refereeing being one-sided so it can be reworded to reflect more on the ref than the fans reaction.
Hi. When you recently edited Rock City (club), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blur (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Yes, my sister is locked, but I'm not going to ask you unlock it! But she begs me to do was download the image, Ultimate Spider Woman in article Jessica Drew! Just before this picture was in the article, but through the fault of my sisters have it removed, and she wanted to correct this mistake, but was blocked! But to you not to be confused look at the Russian version of the article Jessica Drew!--Ultimate Anna (talk) 17:46, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily this image download! I'll give you the link where I have stored the other covers of the Ultimate Spider Woman! You can choose what you like! But from the Russian version of Jessica, you can take a photo where she is without a suit! Here is the link http://hawnee94.tumblr.com/post/24717323850 --Ultimate Anna (talk) 01:19, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry I'm a little busy! Can you show me the link I gave you, the one who is interesting Ultimate Spider Woman, perhaps someone can help! --Ultimate Anna (talk) 20:56, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This image has been removed, but it was written that you can replace it you can download the other! But I don't know how to download! --Ultimate Anna (talk) 08:46, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just a heads up: Ultimate Anna is very likely a sock of the indefinitely blocked Shawnee Smith/Hawnee94. They do know how to upload image to Wikipedia, they just don't get the non-free content policies. They have also uploaded the same image to commons to try an circumvent the policies here. Lastly, they started out on the Russian Wikipedia with the same focus and seem to have had similar trouble there
Maybe this is a "the definition of 'is' is" sort of thing when it comes to defining what is and isn't recentism. I see an article which gives six times as much space to his career since joining the WWF as prior, despite not covering as long a period of time. Lawler was somewhat unusual in that there was significant coverage of his earlier career, in spite of the overall lack of mainstream coverage of pro wrestling at the time. The recent WMC-TV source started out by mentioning Lawler's role in the 1977 promotional war, for instance. I could say plenty more, but I'm half asleep right now and I'm about to be booted off this public computer.RadioKAOS (talk) 21:49, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, fair enough, I'd just had to cut a load of stuff from the Michael Cole page regarding Lawler's heart attack and assumed the latters page would have been given an equally insane level of detail and that that was what the tag was regarding, my bad!

Nottingham Goose Fair
Only just seen your message for some reason, I though wikipedia had rid itself of people randomly removing stuff without bothering to check details first. To help you I have included some information about what I originally submitted.
Now, if you don't remember the exact wording of the text I added, the wording below will suffice if you'd be so kind to put it back seeing as you removed it. Many thanks.
The famous mushy pea stall caused controversy in 2012 when their tradition bowl and ladle of mint sauce was replaced with shop bought sqeezy bottles. A campaign was set up by local journalist and broadcaster Steve Oliver, who said that a piece of Nottingham's history was under threat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.185.199 (talk) 03:18, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Facebook is not a reliable source, so that's that one out straight away. Next, a sub-100 word "news" story about the Facebook group. Not really sufficient when it states the group has 89 members. 89 people from a population of over 300,000 is hardly significant, and the number is less now anyway so the story is not up to date.
Unfortunately Wikipedia has yet to "rid itself" of people who do check to see if information submitted is both legitimate and significant, and this is not. Perhaps you should focus your attention to the facebook group if you feel so strongly about this. BulbaThor (talk) 18:02, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hand-coding
Hey all :).
I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).
You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).
Hey BulbaThor; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:00, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
