Pro Wrestling:Links policy

The following types of links are heavily discouraged and should not be used in an article on the Pro Wrestling Wikia:


 * Wrestling "news" or "rumors" sites: With the exception of the Wrestling Observer, wrestling "news" and "rumors" sites are not generally considered to be valid sources for information. Some sites of this genre have been known to post unsubstantiated rumors which are potentially libelous. This type of material should be avoided.


 * Online discussion forums: Posts to online discussion forums are rarely (if ever) verifiable and are not suitable sources or external links. A poster on a certain online forum stating that a certain wrestler had a possibly-illegal affair with a certain promoter's daughter has as much credibility as the National Enquirer, and such material is also a potential legal hazard.


 * Fansites: Only a website operated by or with the approval of a professional wrestling personality should be used as a source or an external link. This does not include the vast majority of fansites.


 * MySpace and other social networking sites: A large number of purported MySpace profiles for wrestling personalities are forgeries or impersonations. Unless a wrestling performer has used his/her own website to confirm the legitimacy of a MySpace or other social networking profile, it should not be used as a source or an external link.


 * YouTube: Many video clips uploaded to YouTube violate applicable copyright regulations, and are often deleted quickly. Links to YouTube or similar sites may violate copyright laws in the United States of America.
