Legal threats
Hi Sundogs.
If you are making legal threats over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NWA E-Fed, then you are required by our rules to leave Wikipedia immediately and to submit, in writing, a writ to our owner's attorney. Details of how to do this can be found elsewhere on this website and the attorney or solicitor you have instructed will know what to do.
If, however, you did not mean to issue a legal threat against Wikipedia regarding the deletion of the article NWA E-Fed, then I would advise you to revisit the page immediately and withdraw it. Thanks very much. ➨ ЯEDVERS22:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

It is not a legal issue. The merrit of this e-fed is listed in Yahoo! Search. Please tell me what I need to do to make it Up-To-Standards of Wikipedia. Thanks Sundogs.

As I'm sure you noticed above, this is the 20th edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! It has come a long way since the first issue, and I'm sure it will only improve from here. I'd like to thank everyone reading this for continuing to read the newsletter, biweekly.
Also, lastly I'd like to thank Misza13, for sending the newsletter out for us, though his bot. His bot has to be the most important part of the process, because without it, the newsletter would not get sent to project members.
