—Project

As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 5%. As of May 9, we are at 7.70%, with 370 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 of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve is included on the stub article subpage.
Based on the members list, there are currently 244 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.
- If you are actively editing and contributing to articles under the scope of WP:PW, it is suggested that you add your name to the list of active members.
A recall is ongoing to see which active members of WP:PW still wish to receive the full newsletter fortnightly. Those that do should add their name to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active before May 16.
