Editing Tips

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

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.
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.
Adhere strictly to the Biographies of living persons policy when adding to information to biography articles.

Only add controversial, possibly contentious or libellous information if it comes from a reliable source and is verifiable.
Make sure that all information contained in biographies of living persons is written from a non-point of view perspective.
