5 Commandments for Researchers
The Online World of Wrestling website is happy (and proud) to be a website for wrestling fans and by wrestling fans. Sure, we get input from the workers themselves, but everything on the site is for you. As you have likely discovered by now, OWW cannot be undertaken by a single person. OWW enlists fans to help track down information to make the site more complete. With over 5000 profiles, plenty of blanks need to be filled out, and everyone should be encouraged to contribute a little to help the cause. Even the tiniest information, such as a hometown or a real name, makes a big difference. Send the information to OWW, and we will add the information to the website.
Here are some tips for contributing to OWW:
01. COPY & PASTING: The most important rule of researching for OWW is DO NOT COPY/PASTE information from another website or submit something word for word as it appears in other publications. Unless it is a direct quote, which is a rare instance.
02. SEND IN BULK: Instead of sending each piece of information in a separate email, save and compile a list of information and then send it at the end of the week or every two weeks. It’s a lot easier for OWW this way.
03. OFFICIAL RESEARCHERS: OWW cannot add everyone who contributes as an “official” researcher. However, if a researcher’s contributions become consistently impressive and adhere to the guidelines, we have no problems adding you to our official crew of researchers.
04. PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL: OWW is so popular because it’s neat, tidy, and easy to navigate. We try to pay extreme attention to detail to make the website look uniform and professional.
