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

1. When expanding pay-per-view articles, avoid using wrestling jargon without an explanation, per WP:JARGON, maintain an out-of-universe perspective of the article, per WP:IN-U, and avoid writing in excess detail, per WP:PLOT. For further information see WP:PW/PPVG.
2. Our project has a cleanup listing. Please help by adding sources or expanding any articles listed here.
3. Per WP:MOSCAPS, television shows, such as RAW and iMPACT!, should be written as Raw and Impact!.
4. Due to a new consensus formed by Wikipedia users, dates should be unlinked in all articles, per WP:MOSNUM.
5. Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
6. Avoid overlinking in an article. If a subject has been linked once already in the body paragraphs, there is no need to link it again, unless the length of the article requires it to be linked a second time. Lists are the only exceptions to this policy.

• There are currently 617 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.
