Paul Wehage Hates Wikipedia

As you can see from proof on this blog post, Musik Fabrik was spamming information about their composer and companies all over Wikipedia in French and English. Companies can't do this or it would be a huge advertising mess. For instance, Musik Fabrik wrote that Jean-Thierry Boisseau and Paul Wehage are the "celebrities of Lagny-sur-Marne", a city of less than 20,000 outside Paris where they live.

Because of this behavior, Musik Fabrik was taken to the highest form of Wikipedia dispute resolution, the Arbitration Committee, where one of the denizens of the opera pages pointed out:
You are a time-wasting troll trying to "game the system" and destroy the list because your self-promotional activities were exposed by the editors of that list. The diff. above is a classic example of your modus operandi. There was NO way that was a "reasonable assumption" to make. You've made lots of assumptions based on little hard evidence about other users, most notoriously accusing Makemi, a woman editor, of "internalised sexism". You merely use such accusations as tools in a power game, expecting people to scurry around trying desperately to prove they aren't sexist or racist at the slightest such allegation even when it's based on zero hard evidence. Weeks of your bullying, harrassment, massive violations of WP policy and arrogant condescension (all documented on the Evidence page) cannot be brushed away by a simple tactical apology. This simply has to be dealt with by ArbCom.
Oh my!
