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

1. Do not link the title of an article in its lead section if the title is already in bold, per WP:LEDE.
2. When expanding pay-per-view articles, avoid using wrestling jargon without an explanation, per WP:JARGON, maintain an out-of-universe perspective of the article, per WP:IN-U, and avoid writing in excess detail, per WP:PLOT. For further information see WP:PW/PPVG.
3. Our project has a cleanup listing. Please help by adding sources or expanding any articles listed here.
4. When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
5. 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.

From the Judges

Wow, you guys are racking up the DYK's fast! Good articles are also coming in quite quickly, and we also have a few new Featured articles. This is coming along great so far; we're glad to see almost everyone working on something.

Also, Thehelpfulone is our newest judge. He will, starting Monday, be helping maintain the WikiCup and help us ensure all runs smoothly. It's hard to gain consensus between two editors, so I guess "majority rules" (with three people) will start to apply while we make our decision. :-P

Keep it up! Garden., iMatthew // talk, and The Helpful One 13:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
