This section is intended to warn users about potential targets of vandalism and speculation: professional wrestling events from major promotions for the months of April and May.
Refer to WP:NC during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, be bold and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a naming conflict, follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
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. Lists are the only exceptions to this policy.
The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article's contents. The size of the lead will depend on the size of the article.
Over the past month, WP:PW hosted the first Professional Wrestling Stub Reduction Drive. In one month, the number of stub-class articles was reduced from 562 (13.84% of the project's total articles) to 477 (11.64%). More work expanding stubs is always appreciated. See here for more information.

Please don't revert six weeks of edits without at least discussing it on the talk page. I've been trying to balance the competing POVs that various editors seem to want to introduce into this. Perhaps you could do the same, rather than removing the whole lot. Some of the stuff you removed may be trivia, but some is relevant to the subject and worth including. I removed any unsourced or blatantly POV stuff. I've been trying to go through them and look at each section on a case by case basis. I'm not going to revert your changes now, as I don't want to run into 3RR over this, but perhaps you could look again at your changes and try them in a more nuanced way. I'm open to discussion on this. --ascorbic (talk) 10:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
I restored a version from a few weeks ago because the multiple back and forth edit had not improved the article, rather they had focused on recent events and overinflated them. Also the majority was wrong, a basic fact which has been lost in the mix. Stick the the facts rather than dwelling on tiny events and giving them 500 word paragraphs. You can't roll through 3RR until you've been warned, so consider this a warning. If you have any further suggested amendments then make them on the talk page. Darrenhusted (talk) 10:16, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Can I be clear: I didn't write those sections in question, I've merely been trying to improve the article without removing it all. If you look, you'll see that I removed a lot of the worst stuff and rewrote much of the rest. By reverting wholesale, you missed other changes that had been made, including improvements to prose and maintenance fixes. At a glance I see you broke a template link, restored sentences such as 'Interest in youth services has continued as one of her main interests', and moved sentences back to less appropriate sections. --ascorbic (talk) 10:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Just like Dawn Butler stated please don't revert editing without discussing it on the talk page. My writings had references and links making them easily good enough to be on Wikipedia.Bouklyloo (talk) 12:15, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Hiya. Sorry to read that you have internet access problems. When you next have internet access, you may wish to follow the developments here (or on its History page). Cheers, Trafford09 (talk) 04:09, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
As part of the project's New Year's Reolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of May 10, we are at 11.64%, with 483 articles currently in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source an improve stub articles, and a list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.
This section is intended to warn users about potential targets of vandalism and speculation: professional wrestling events from major promotions for the months of May and June.
The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article's contents. The size of the lead will depend on the size of the article.
Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See MOS:BOLD for appropriate uses of bold text.

I made the edits seperately as I read, it helps me to make clearer edits than bundling them together, they are not vandalism, sorry for the confusion. 74.5.111.155 (talk) 10:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

hey. Just to give you a heads up, the IP on 174.21..... just replied to you on her talk page. [1]. Thought it might be interesting for you to know. Deavenger (talk) 19:05, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
And yet another comment. I'm guessing because she was a big fan of T4, and is trying to find any excuse to get rid of rotten tomatoes. Especially since after other users said they don't believe that rotten tomatoes is advertising for fox, she tried to make a table showing how the critics on the T4 page are owned by fox because museum got a higher score. If she keeps on continuing trying to get rid of rotten tomatoes, and accuses other users who disagree with her of trying to destroy the page and antagonize everybody, we might as well as ignore her. Deavenger (talk) 21:36, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
I think the IP is finally getting of the subject and actually working on making a better article now. Sorry for disturbing your talk page. Deavenger (talk) 21:58, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
