It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
• Based on the members list, there are currently 232 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

1. Misplaced Pages is not a crystal ball, so do not add speculation about future events to articles.
2. Help out with the project's cleanup listing by fixing problems listed and removing the article from the listing.
3. The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article.
4. If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, you can tag it for speedy deletion if the criteria apply, propose it for deletion, or nominate it at WP:AFD.
5. Be aware of words to avoid. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.
