A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.
- The WP:PW Cleanup listing was updated this week by the bot for the first time since October. A number of Featured lists, Featured articles, and Good articles are listed as having problems. Anyone who fixes an problem with an article should remove it from the listing, so we can accurately keep track of it. All members are encouraged to help out.

Editing tips
This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.
- All Wikipedia articles should be written from a neutral point-of-view.
- Do not overlink terms in an article, only make links where they are relevant to the context, and only link each item once. Tables are the exception to this rule, e.g. the results table in pay-per-view articles.
- 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.
- 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 Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide#Sources.
- Per WP:MOSCAPS, television shows, such as RAW and iMPACT!, should be written as Raw and Impact!.
