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)

Edit to Wachovia Spectrum
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

I notice that you dont care much about wrestling. Unless the page had something about some backyard wrestling thing that is only know about some teenaged kid and his buddies, leave it up. Thank you. Whammies Were Here 08:52, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey man, I dont want to see you get into any trouble at all. Please leave the WWF/E stuff up in Wachovia Spectrum (and if you have, any other pages too).  As I said, were not talking about some backyard wrestling group that is only known by some 15 year old and his high school buddies, were talking about something a little bigger.  If I, or anybody else, or even worse, and admin keeps on finding that you are deleting this stuff, you will get banned from editing on here.  If you have any concerns, by all means, send me a message, but please, leave certain stuff up.Whammies Were Here 10:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * If your talking about some small little promotion or something, yeah, I understand your argument, but were talking about the WWF/E, WCW, or other decent sized to big promotion. Unless it really is something that isnt notable (like a certain unnotable house show was held at a certain arena), please leave it up.  What you had deleted on the Wachovia Spectrum page was notable enough to be on there.  Whammies Were Here 22:22, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you delete or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Whammies Were Here 22:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Also to note, if the Spectrum hosted the Ringling Bros., yes, I would feel that would be worthy of being put on too. Whammies Were Here 22:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I might not be an admin, but I do belive you are deleting notable info. If I report you, it is for that reason, not because I feel like being a tough guy, and passing a love for something that you claim I like (which I do not, I feel nowadays that the wrestling in general is crap).  Find me an admin that will agree with what you are doing, and I will go ahead, and let you delete the info about the Spectrum being used as a wrestling venue by the WWF/E and WCW, but I have asked you not to do that.  I dont like reporting users for misdeeds, but if it comes to it, I will. Whammies Were Here 23:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Avruch talk 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. Avruch talk 00:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

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.

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)

 * 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. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 19:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, a discussion has been started here: WP:ANI 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)

Sockpuppetry case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Suspected sock puppets/Paul Harald Kaspar for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Avruch talk 20:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Chadbryant
Despite claims to the contrary, this account is actually blocked vandal,. As per WP:RBI, anyone is free to revert all contributions from this account. --Yamla (talk) 22:26, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Evidence not available to the checkusers. Not evidence not available to anyone. The correlations between the two accounts, along with this account's poor behaviour, were already sufficient for a block. That we know this account uses the same ISP as Chadbryant and is located in the same small city is more than sufficient to block as a confirmed sockpuppet. Not that this is the only damning evidence, of course. --Yamla (talk) 22:48, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

What "small city" do you speak of? Paul Harald Kaspar (talk) 23:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Are you sure you are willing to have me reveal which city you live in? I am happy to do so.  --Yamla (talk) 23:06, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Stating that I live in a "small city" lends evidence to the fact that you don't know what city I live in, and don't know what you're talking about. Paul Harald Kaspar (talk) 13:18, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Let me know if you are willing to have me reveal where you live. --Yamla (talk) 15:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Give it your best shot, Yammy. Paul Harald Kaspar (talk) 20:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Your IP address traces to Salt Lake City, Utah. There's some small margin of error, of course.  Salt Lake City has a population of 178,858, making it a rather small city.  The metropolitan area is quite considerably larger.  --Yamla (talk) 20:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Your classification of Salt Lake City as a "small city" demonstrates your ignorance. Your grudge against "Chadbryant" (he must have exposed your ignorance at some point as well) has rendered you all but useless as a Wikipedia admin. Thank you for demonstrating this for all to see. Paul Harald Kaspar (talk) 17:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Privacy concern
I deleted the email that you posted here due to privacy concerns. If you are willing for me to reveal all of the emails that you sent to me, I am happy for you to post the emails I sent to you provided you remove or obscure my email address. If you are not willing to have me release these emails, you are under obligation not to post my email to you to any third parties, including to the Wikipedia. --Yamla (talk) 22:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Just to be clear, if you are willing to have me release your emails, you may immediately repost my email, after obscuring my email address, without any further "permission" or anything from me. --Yamla (talk) 22:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Not only do I have no problem with you releasing my emails, I also demand why you just attempted to delete my entire talk page in a move that can only be described as an abuse of your powers as admin. Paul Harald Kaspar (talk) 22:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * You can see that your page was immediately restored without the privacy issue. --Yamla (talk) 23:05, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I restored my talk page. You did not. You also sent me this utter joke of a "suggestion:

Of course, in blocking me indefinitely, you are aware that I can not contact ARBCOM by the normal mathod. Paul Harald Kaspar (talk) 23:08, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

 * (edit conflict) The normal way for a blocked user to contact ARBCOM is through email so you can indeed contact them by the normal method. Indeed, that's why I pointed you to their email addresses.  --Yamla (talk) 23:10, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Although you falsely claim that you restored this page, that is not correct. I deleted the page on 2008-02-04T15:54:12 with the deletion message, "CSD G6: Housekeeping, will be immediately restored".  I then immediately restored it at 2008-02-04T15:54:33.  Your next edit, with an edit summary of "restoring due to blatant administrator abuse", did not take place until 2008-02-04T15:55:13.
