Your comments regarding wrestling

Hello, I noticed that you mentioned your frustration with wrestling fans creating unnecessary categories and adding trivial information to other articles. As a member of WikiProject:Professional Wrestling, I wanted to say that I agree completely. One of our big frustrations as a project is the amount of crap that IP addresses and well-meaning but often clueless editors add about wrestling to almost any article that could possibly be related. We try hard to remove such references when they add nothing to the article. You will also notice that most of the wrestling-related categories nominated for deletion have been nominated (but not created) by WP:PW members. Most of these pointless categories have been added by two or three editors, none of whom are involved with WP:PW. In short, I wanted to let you know that we share your concerns and to mention that I hope you don't hold it against us as a wikiproject, as the things that annoy you are the very things we are trying to eliminate. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 07:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Warnings

Edit to Wachovia Spectrum

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war{{#if according to the reverts you have made on Wachovia Spectrum}}. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. 00:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The warning template above gives you the links you need to direct you towards the appropriate method of resolving your dispute with PYLrulz on the Wachovia Spectrum article. Please do not risk getting yourself blocked for edit-warring. 00:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

PS - don't know how I managed to misname the article in the warning template, the HP article was the other AN/I thread I responded to :-P Good luck 00:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

January 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Shaquille O'Neal has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. BJ 07:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I've unblocked this account. This edit is not vandalism, the user had been actively engaged in discussion on the talkpage. This is not a vandal account and no recent warnings were given. I apologise for incovenience caused during your block. WjBscribe 12:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Wachovia Spectrum edit

I dont know why you keep on insisting you keep on deleting the wrestling section. I feel the way its covered is more than fair enough. This is not like that the article has gone in depth about every single little thing that has happened with wrestling at the Spectrum. And if your gonna give me the circus argument again, it wont work because I feel if thats notable enough too, it should be included in the article. Im asking you please do not keep on deleting that info. Thank you. Whammies Were Here 23:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: edits at Wachovia Spectrum + Wikiquette Alert

Greetings Paul!

I was just over at the Wikiquette page, and saw the alert filed against you. I left a comment over there, adn you should probably go read it. Let me drop some strictly impartial advice: 1. In general practice, I would avoid flat out calling someone a sockpuppet. If I suspected it, I would check edit histories, and report it ..... let some admins get involved. Otherwise, true or not, it comes across as a baseless accusation until proof surfaces. 2. While I don't personally think there's much wrong with the term "wrestling fan kids" or whatever it was that you typed, in the future, use a more neutral term .... its for your own protection, because you never know when an admin comes along with a particular mind set, and starts throwing around more serious warnings at you. 3. I did not look at the diffs on the article. But my two bits: If the building was used primarily for sporting events,then most of the "history" of the building part of the article should deal with that (I think you and I agree there). However, if the building was used for other non-sporting purposes (circuses, car shows, mass weddings, and (sigh) "pro" wrestling), then a brief mention is likely warranted. I did look at the current article, and there was only a small paragraph. I don't think I would go beyond that, but I think I would have a hard time fighting against its inclusion.

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, I am not trying to preach to you, and I am not telling you what to do .... just some friendly, neutral advice. LonelyBeacon (talk) 19:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Paul Harald Kaspar (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am being blocked as part of an ongoing campaign of harassment to discourage me from editing articles that contain superfluous content related to professional wrestling. A previous block has already been lifted, and I request that a non-biased admin do the same with this one as well.

Decline reason:

Not eligible for unblocking until you state categorically whether or not you are in any way related to Chadbryant. — Yamla (talk) 21:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

See discussion on Talk:Wachovia Spectrum. Paul refused mediation requested by another user, and fails to provide any policy supporting removal of references to wrestling (which it appears that the Paul doesn't like). Paul then went on to repeatedly remove any mentions of wrestling on other arena pages, despite several warnings to cease. The reviewing admin is welcome to contact me for additional information regarding this block. OhNoitsJamie 19:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Also, a discussion has been started here: WP:ANI#Block review of User:Paul Harald Kaspar to seek further input on the matter. I am inclined to deny the unblock request, and let the block stand, however seeking further admin input at this time seems prudent before making ANY further moves. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 19:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Now that I have a legitimate complaint about a block, I'm being accused of being a "sockpuppet"? I don't know who this "Chadbryant" individual is, and this is really starting to smell of a Wikiclique. Paul Harald Kaspar (talk) 21:51, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Please send me an email from an email address issued by your ISP. You can reach me at wikiyamla at gmail dot com. Hopefully we can start clearing this up. Thanks! --Yamla (talk) 22:06, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I did what was requested and contacted this admin from my personal e-mail account. Now less than twenty minutes later, this same admin claims there is "evidence not available" to label me a sockpuppet. I trust that Misplaced Pages has more than what appears to be a kangaroo court to decide content disputes. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I did what was requested and contacted this admin from my personal e-mail account. Now less than twenty minutes later, this same admin claims there is "evidence not available" to label me a sockpuppet. I trust that Misplaced Pages has more than what appears to be a kangaroo court to decide content disputes. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I did what was requested and contacted this admin from my personal e-mail account. Now less than twenty minutes later, this same admin claims there is "evidence not available" to label me a sockpuppet. I trust that Misplaced Pages has more than what appears to be a kangaroo court to decide content disputes. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}
