There are currently 616 articles in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.
A search bar has been added to the archive box on the PW project talk page for easier navigation through the archives.
This section is intended to warn users about potential targets of vandalism and speculation: professional wrestling events from major promotions for the month of January.
Our project has a cleanup listing. Please help by adding sources or expanding any articles listed here.
When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
When editing an article, use the edit summary to provide a brief summary of your edits; this helps users understand what was changed in the article.
There is no need for the uncivility. I was WP:BOLD (bold) enough to move it per WP:COMMONSENSE (common sense); it was the exact same template as the one mentioned above and it wasn't linked to a specific mainspace article.--TRUCO21:16, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well you can't go around making new templates without consulting WP:PW first, and if you wanted to work on it, you should have created it in a sandbox, not in the mainspace.--TRUCO21:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Editing tips
This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.
This list is of topics that may be easy (or are fairly close) to Good Topic status. Consider helping by improving an article on the list that is not yet at Good Article status.
Consider expanding an article from the project's list of stub articles and nominating it at Did You Know?. The project's goal is to have 100 total DYKs by the end of the year.
All Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point-of-view, representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources.
When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
Addition of content that is likely to be challenged in an article needs to be verified with a reliable source
Do not overlink terms in an article, only make links where they are relevant to the context.
When creating an article that has an image, make sure the image is right-aligned in the lead or in the infobox, per MOS:IMAGES.
I have gone and assessed many of the projects unassessed articles. I would appreciate any help you could give me in doing this, there are many that need it. Thank you, Crash Underride

Arena Football League Article Stats
Our goal is to get the number of Stub-Class articles down to 0, in due time. The current article count is listed below, I have placed the forumla that is on the project page that is updated everytime the bot is run and it tallies up our articles and where they are and lists them as seen below, so that no one has to worry about making sure it's updated manually before the newsletter is sent out. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list is provided in the stub-class category of stub articles that need to be improved, and some should be fairly easy.
The offseason is here, but that doesn't mean there isn't work to be done. National Signing Day has concluded, and a raft of new players are preparing for the season.
A lengthy discussion about the use of team logos in different articles is under way, and your help and comments are requested. Because the argument has gotten heated at times, editors are reminded to stay civil and respect other viewpoints, even if you may disagree with them. An excellent overview about Wikipedia's rules for non-free images can be found here.
It's never too early to start thinking about spring football! Be sure to carry a camera and get pictures of players, teams, stadiums, and all the action and pageantry of college football. An excellent guide to taking pictures for WP:CFB can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/Images. Even if you don't think a photo can be immediately used for an article, try uploading it to Wikimedia Commons so future article authors can use it.
The College Football Portal needs to be updated with featured articles and pictures. Do you have a great picture that illustrates the best of college football? Consider adding it to the featured image queue on the portal.
Welcome to the latest issue of the College football WikiProject newsletter! I hope that you're enjoying regular updates about the goings on of college football on Wikipedia, but if not, feel free to add your name to the "no delivery" section on the newsletter signup page.
I encourage everyone to make regular visits to the College Football Portal and perhaps make it your Wikipedia entry page instead of using the Main Page as your gateway. Nominations for selected articles and pictures are always welcome, and can serve as a great way to show off that new article you just shepherded to Good Article status or the great picture you took the last time you were at a game.
Comments and suggestions on improving the newsletter are always welcome, and help me improve it on a monthly basis. Keep contributing and editing, and don't hesitate to contact me or post on the College Football Wikiproject talk page if you need help or just want someone to look over your article.

Opinion in RfC
In the RfC at Template talk:Infobox NFLactive, you stated that You "agreed with Chandler." But then you placed your name in the column that opposes the removal of the colors from the infoboxes, whereas Chandler is an ardent supporter of removing them. Do you mind clarifying your position?--2008Olympianchitchat04:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
UFO Hunters (Historyl)?
Why did you move the UFO Hunters page? It was fine the way it was. You changed it to UFO Hunters (Historyl) with an "l" in the name, and someone else came by to correct it but moved it to "UFO Hunters - The History Channel". I set it back the way it was and where it should stay. You provided no good reason why it was changed to begin with. Cyberia23 (talk) 01:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I moved the page to just "UFO Hunters" which used to be the diambig page between the two shows (SciFi version and History version) because it looked like both shows were going to air simultaneously. Since the other is defunct and renamed, the history channel show should get the article name. Cyberia23 (talk) 01:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Talk:UFO Hunters (The History Channel), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
