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 June 7, we are at 11.76%, with 488 articles currently in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. 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.
This section is intended to warn users about potential targets of vandalism and speculation: professional wrestling events from major promotions for the month of June.

Re
Yeah sure. I'll just leave you some comments on the list. I'm assuming you would like to take it to FLC, and even if you aren't that is pretty much the rules for all list articles, so it should pass all those criteria. Okay, the lead is the overview. The first paragraph should be just about what the championship is. Look at my recent FLs for more information; they can be located at this link: User:Wrestlinglover/Awards and Accomplishments. Statesment that you can not source should be removed. Reigns that you can not source should be removed. The external links section lists something you are already using. Just remove it.--WillC04:23, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Lead comments
"The Early World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship is a professional wrestling championship created in 1905 to identify the best catch as catch can professional wrestler in the world." I don't like early, doesn't read well unless that is the championship's official name. It would be best to rewrite it to this so that it passes numerous guidelines IMO: "The first recognized World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship in professional wrestling was created on May 4, 1905 to identify the best professional wrestler in the world."--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
"The first recognized World Heavyweight Champion was Georg Hackenschmidt who officially won the championship on May 4, 1905 by defeating Tom Jenkins in New York City, New York,[1] the Championship remained active for the next 51 years with the last recognized reign beginning on November 9, 1956." A run on sentence. Change it to: "Georg Hackenschmidt was the first recognized World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion by defeating Tom Jenkins in New York City, New York on May 4, 1905. The second sentence should actually be rewritten and placed before the first champion sentence. "The championship lasted for a total of 51 years with the last recognized reign ending on [blank]."--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
"Several of the championship reigns are also recognized by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) under the NWA World Heavyweight Championships lineage." If true source with the title's official history. Also link lineage to the list of champions article.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
"The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) current 3 World Heavyweight Championships WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship and ECW Championship lineage can also be traced back to the Early World Heavyweight Championship." Source for this? And change to "The WWE Championship's, World Heavyweight Championship's and ECW Championship's lineages, three of the professional wrestling promotionWorld Wrestling Entertainment' (WWE) current World Heavyweight Championships, can also be traced back to the first World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship." or "The current 3 World Heavyweight Championships owned a copyrighted by the professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) (WWE Championship, World Heavyweight Championship and ECW Championship) lineages can also be traced back to the first World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship."--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
"The WWE Championship's origin can be traced back to the NWA Championship after an incident in which the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) at the time left the NWA after refusing the recognize Lou Thesz as NWA Champion after he beat Buddy Rogers in a one fall match —The NWA World Title matches usually followed a best-of-three fall format — Vincent J. McMahon, the WWWF's owner created the WWE Championship and awarded Roger's the belt proclaiming he won it in a apocrypha tournament in Brazil. The WWE's World Heavyweight Championship was subsequently spun off the WWE Championship." Your own ideas or do you have a source for all of this? You make no mention of TNA's Title in this which went through a simular situation with the TNA World Heavyweight Championship being created after the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was removed. It should be included as well, NPOV remember?--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
"Most of the well-recognized World Heavyweight Championships in professional wrestling such as the WWE Championship, WCW World Heavyweight Championship, ECW Championship, and NWA World Heavyweight Championship are derived from this version. The NWA World Heavyweight Championship traces its history back to this World Heavyweight Championship while the top titles of the three largest promotions in North America during the 1990s (World Wrestling Entertainment, the now defunct World Championship Wrestling, and Extreme Championship Wrestling) spun off from the NWA World Heavyweight Championship's lineage.
The new version of the World Heavyweight Championship, can also be traced back to this version as it is the successor to both the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and the NWA World Heavyweight Championship." Source for all of this? If no written reliable sources for any of the above comments can be found, then they should be removed, per wikipedia guidelines.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
To remain out of universe, a description of professional wrestling should be included. I prefer the one I created which is used in the lead of the TNA X Division Championship. There is also one that is more in depth which I use in lists. It is located in all of the lists which have passed FLC and ones I have expanded which will be nominated one day. Also a overview of champions should be listed along with any important information. My FLs will give more info.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Table comments
The table which I added is the proper table used in lists which were agreed upon at WT:PW. So you should include it. A key table should also be inserted so people not farmilar with wrestling championships can understand what each section means and ones who are active in the wrestling world who do not understand do not face this problem. Go to List of CZW World Heavyweight Champions and follow the format of that list to convert this one into it.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
The notes section is only for important things that effected the championship majorly. Not match results, just things that changed its history major majorly. New champions are a given, but not how the new champion won it.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
A list of combined reigns table should be included with a footnotes section below it. Follow the format of my lists to get an idea at how to do this. The See also section must go directly below the footnotes section per the wikipedia MoS.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Sources
Wrestling Titles.com has yet to be proven reliable, but could possibly be usable here. You may have to prove how it is reliable.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Wrestling Information Archive is unreliable. They get their information from wikipedia. Wikipedia can not source itself. Remove it please. Try Solie and see if they have anything.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Online World of Wrestling has yet to be proven reliable. Their fact checking is in question. To use it you must prove it reliable, which is a hard thing to do. Removing it would be the best thing to do and replacing any results used from them with ones from WrestleView, PW Torch, or Slam Sports.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Ref 5 has no publisher. It is the wrestlingmuseum.com, which must be proven reliable unless that is the professional wrestling museum's official website, which makes it a primary source which is fine.--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
411Mania has yet to be proven to have reliable fact checking (yet to be proven reliable).--WillC02:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
I've made alot of lists recently and learned the process quickly. The first list is usually the hardest. But after around 5, it gets alot easier. After I finished the PWG Champions article, it got very simple.--WillC14:27, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Okay, I will. I'll help out if I see anything wrong, if it is small I'll be bold but if it is something bigger I'll ask first. I've seen that article alot and always wished it was expanded but had no urge to do it myself. So I'm glad someone is doing something now.--WillC14:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
It is a google image, which makes it questionable. I would take it to WT:PW or the reliable source noticeboard to discuss if it is usable first.--WillC15:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
If no reliable source can be found that, that reign happened. Then it should be removed.--WillC22:36, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
State when he was first seen with the belt. And in the date won cloumn, place "N/A". The key that should be included, will tell what it means.--WillC23:03, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

If you happen to see a Eurovision related article without the {{EurovisionNotice}} template on the article's talk page, please add it. You can also read Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment if you would like to help reassess articles in our project if you see that they have outgrown their current assessment.
Following recent disputes relating to sourcing in Eurovision articles, an RfC has been opened on the issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Eurovision#RfC on reliable sources for Eurovision articles. The dispute particularly focuses on use of ESCToday and Oikotimes as sources in articles. The RfC is suffering from lack of participation; all project members are encouraged to state their opinion.
Project members are reminded that text and images in articles must follow Wikipedia's copyright policies. Text must not be copied out or copied and pasted into articles from websites whose material is not under a Wikipedia compatible free license. Fully copyrighted text includes that from the EBU (Eurovision.tv), ESCToday, and Okiotimes.

Welcome to the eleventh edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!
Things are beginning to quiet down now that the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest is behind us, which is the project's busiest time of year. A few of us however still had to slow down during this period, including myself, as May and June also happens to be exam season in multiple parts of the world. There is much still to be done in any case with preparations for the 2010 Song Contest now well under way, and the host city, Oslo, now confirmed.
There are several items that this project needs to debate including choices of sourcing and what contests come under the banner of this project. The first of these items is already being addressed at a new RfC (see left). Further ideas that could be developed include creation of some article guidelines for Eurovision articles. This could start as an advisory essay and then later, if consensus permits, become an official Wikipedia guideline. Examples of these already in existence include Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools/Article guidelines and Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines.

On July 3, during a WWE live event in San Diego, California, Edge suffered a torn Achilles tendon while wrestling in a match. He underwent surgery on July 7, and will require rehabilitation which will sideline him from in-ring competition.
It was revealed that WWE had signed Nick Dinsmore to a contract.
Brian Lawler was jailed for 30 days after failing to attend an in-patient treatment center as part of his plea agreement, following his arrest for public intoxication on June 26.
If a sentence seems to be untrue or does not have a source, add a {{fact}} tag directly after it. In the case of biographies of living persons, if the material is contentious and either unsourced or poorly sourced, it should be removed immediately.
Please remember that fair use images and media can be only be used if no free equivalent is available or could be created. Fair use images uploaded when a free equivalent exists will be deleted.
If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain consensus from the project first.
The RfC on article sourcing was closed by Moonriddengirl (talk·contribs) as an uninvolved editor. The decisions were for each source:
ESCToday: Reliable
ESCKaz: Semi-reliable
ESCTime: Not reliable
Oikotimes: No consensus
More details on the decision as well as the full RfC can be found on the project talk page. The decisions made in the RfC will likely impact on future drafts of the article guidelines. Please note that further use of Oikotimes and ESCTime is discouraged and existing uses should be replaced with reliable sources. If no other source exists for the information, leave the current source for the time being.
Due to a new naming convention relating to the use of the term "FYR Macedonia", the Republic of Macedonia should be referred to as "Macedonia" in Eurovision articles. Mention of the country's participation in the Contest under the name "FYR Macedonia" should be written in the lead of articles such as Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest, though it is not necessary to express this fact in the general Contest articles.
Two months after the 2009 Contest ended, the EBU revealed the full jury and televoting results for each country on its website. The results showed that Norway was the winner of both the jury and the televoting, while many placings would have changed had no jury voting taken place.
Georgia announced its return to the Contest, while the Czech Republic will withdraw from the 2010 Contest.
Welcome to the twelfth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!
It has been a very slow couple of months in terms of Eurovision news since the passing of the 2009 Contest, however, it has been a very busy time for guidelines and policies affecting our project. Landmark decisions have been made regarding our use of sources and even how we are to refer to Macedonia. In addition, several of our Good Articles have been delisted as part of a task force charged with maintaining the quality of Wikipedia's Good Articles.
With there being less information to add and therefore less to do for some, we need to focus on the upkeep and quality of our project's articles and getting those inactive members active once again. We can do this by making sure all new guidelines and naming policies are adhered to and by working to move articles up the quality scale. We are a WikiProject and we all work towards a similar goal. Introduce yourself to your fellow members and get active!

I restored the information, which said something along the lines of "The Wrestling Observer repoted that Burke signed a contract with TNA". The WO is a reliable source, and this is an accepted wording for something like this. And quite frankly, wording it like that is a lot better than the ips who are going to add randomly that "he signed with TNA". Not to mention the fact that Twitter isn't a reliable source, and as you said he could have been "playing dumb". ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 07:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
In fairness, that was probably the least relevant part of my earlier reply. The fact that we have a reliable source stating that he signed means that we list it. I don't understand your problem with this to be honest. Quite frankly there is nothing wrong with a sourced statement along the lines of "The Wrestling Observer repoted that Burke signed a contract with TNA". We are not stating that he did a sign a contract, we are stating that a reliable and reputable source has said it. Besides, the link that you provided in your edit summary, when you removed sourced information from the article, was http://twitter.com/DaBlackPope/status/2924102355, which doesn't say one way or the other whether he's signed. "Wait a minute....So I HAVE signed with TNA??? This is really confusing me!" requires you to derive your own meaning from it, i.e. speculate, and that's ignaring the fact that Twitter is not a reliable source anyway. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 12:40, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to the thirteenth edition of the WikiProject Eurovision Newsletter!
August 2009 will not be remembered as a good month for WikiProject Eurovision. The number of this newsletter might have something to do with it, other possible explanations include circumstances, time of year, and even just coincidence. In any case we have had no new members and no further GA or FA article promotions.
The demotion of Eurovision Song Contest, probably the most important article on the project, was a historic blow. Reasons for this and other demotions in recent months include an inflation of article standards, article deterioration through inappropriate edits, and possibly inappropriate promotions in some cases.
We should remember however that despite these demotions we still have 2 FAs, 9 GAs, and 41 B-class articles, as well as 2 Featured Lists. This is a big achievement for a project with only 75 members, a small amount compared to other projects. To compare WikiProject Schools has 292 members with no newsletter, and WikiProject Video games has a massive 1,298 members with only a quarterly newsletter.
This project will likely be disadvantaged for a long time to come with limited membership and fluctuating activity during the year, but it will grow out of this blip.

I did work on it for a while, but it ended up being such a massive undertaking that I got overwhelmed. There is almost nothing to build from over there and nearly everything has to be done from scratch.

When adding headers to articles, do not add wikilinks to them and only capitalize the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns.
