== Vandalism on your talk page ==

Krett12, I'm looking into what we can do about the vandalism on your talk page. In the meantime, please leave only appropriate warnings as though each different IP is a different person, and do not let anger affect your actions. Someone will let you know if we're able to address these as a group. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 04:31, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

One thing you could do is remove the text that keeps getting vandalized. That kind of thing really belongs more on a user page anyway. Your user page can be semi-protected so that IP editors can't change it. If you'd like that done, ask any admin. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 04:36, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
:1) It already is semi'd (by you) and 2) I put it on my talk page so I can edit it while blocked. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 05:20, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
:::Then I recommend you remove it. When you are blocked, you are not supposed to make any edits except conversations on your talk page. If you got blocked again and you were caught editing anything other than conversations, that would be evading a block even if what you edited was on your talk page. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 05:41, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
::Anger wasn't affecting it--it's that it was a similar IP (and thus the same blockee) [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 05:21, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
:::Unless there has been a checkuser action, we do not assume that the IPs are the same person no matter how close the IP addresses are. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 05:41, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
::::But since it's unregistered, CUs don't know anything more than we do. Also, duck test. They do similar actions as well. But I  will revert the user page transclusion. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 07:04, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

== Please change the editnotice on your talk page ==

It is very disruptive as half of it is not even visible in the text area of WikiEditor. See [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Krett12&action=edit&section=new] for example. Please change it as other users are likely to be annoyed by this. Regards, --[[User:Glaisher|Glaisher]] ([[User talk:Glaisher|talk]]) 16:38, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

:Clever use of a floating text box, but when I open your talk page in edit mode, all I can see is "Hey--if you are here to..." followed by "talk page, you..." and "editi..."  The rest is hidden by the WikiEditor, which apparently takes priority over the floating text box. <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">[[User:Etamni|Etamni]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Etamni|&#9993;&nbsp;]]&#124;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Etamni|✓]]&nbsp;</span> 17:17, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

:::You need to fix this.  If you're going to be contributing here and other users (especially new users) are going to need to comment on your page, you need to fix it so it's not blocking their ability to leave a message.

== Your warning to Fylbecatulous ==

I can't see any personal attack on [[Fylbecatulous]]' talk page. Would you be specific about where it was? If you mean the edit summary "you are going away and shall be replaced with cats. that conversation is way over", that is not a personal attack. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 17:10, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:Only says anything rude or disrespectful counts as a personal attack--and I agree with him. Maybe all the admins should discuss it. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 17:26, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

== deleting the <nowiki>{{wait}}</nowiki> template ==

[https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ghulam_Haider_%28Blogger%29&curid=525155&diff=5280024&oldid=5280023 Why did you revert the user] if he was contesting the Quick Deletion?  [[User:Nepaxt|<font color="gray" face="Arial">''//nepaxt''</font>]] 17:11, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:Because he gave no reason. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 17:27, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
::The user writes the explanation on the subject's talk page as stated by the <nowiki>{{wait}}</nowiki> banner.

[[User:Nepaxt|<font color="gray" face="Arial">''//nepaxt''</font>]] 17:34, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

::Even if there was no reason given, it is not up to you to remove the wait template. Don't do that again. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 17:46, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:::Ok. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 17:47, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

== Your email about the current request for admin rights ==

Krett12, it was unnecessary for you to send that email. It was also inappropriate because discussions should happen on-wiki whenever possible. Besides that, it is not up to you to coordinate what should be done -- the discussion will run its course and a decision will be made. You have given your input and that is all you need to do.

You need to think about what you want to do here. You have been very disruptive and it needs to stop. I was thinking the restrictions suggested on the admins' noticeboard were unnecessary, but I'm changing my mind. Please don't give us a reason to block you again. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 17:58, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
:I felt it necessary--there was an on-wiki discussion that was not going well and wanted to ask the editors a few questions in private, that wasn't turning the RfA into a private discussion. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 18:53, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
::I didn't say it was. Just please don't email me to discuss other users behind their backs. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 19:34, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

== Vandalism in progress ==

Please don't delete reports from this page, even if they're for the wrong Wikipedia. The helpful thing to do would be to explain that the person is asking on the wrong wiki. Not everyone understands that English and Simple English are two separate Wikipedias. Thanks. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 00:12, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

===The user you reported===

You reported {{user|72.25.24.183}} at the VIP page.  I know Auntof6 has alreaady addressed the quick trigger reporting.  But my concern is that their edits weren't actually vandalism.  Did the page need to be deleted?  Yes.  Was it intentionally meant to disrupt Wikipedia?  No.  

You included the warning "If you continue to vandalize pages by adding wrong information on purpose, as you did at Work Bitch, you may be blocked from changing pages on Wikipedia."  What '''wrong information''' did they add to the article they created?  The article was the name "Work Bitch" in bold and a category for Britney Spears songs.  Zero information of this article was false.  once again, you've used improper warnings with regard to conduct of other users.  I really think the topic ban I proposed is needed since you clearly can't get the picture.  [[User:Only|Only]] ([[User talk:Only|talk]]) 03:03, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
:Close enough. Not like they ''read'' them anyway. But since you seem to think strongly on this, I will try to always use vandalism level 2 unless I forget. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 03:27, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

== Your edit to [[Wikipedia:Patent nonsense]] ==

Please don't make [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Patent_nonsense&diff=prev&oldid=5283658 this kind of unnecessary edit]. Thanks. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 01:19, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

== Accidental indications of vandalism ==

When you accidentally revert someone's change as vandalism, as you did [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Star_Trek&diff=prev&oldid=5283656 here], in addition to undoing your own change you should let the person know. That way, they won't be surprised if someone later mentions that they vandalized something -- they'd be able to explain that the revert was changed back later. Thanks. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 01:21, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
:OK, that should be easy to remember as [[User:Krett12/twinkleoptions.js|vandalism rollback opens a talk page pop-up in my prefs]]. Thanks for lettin' me know. I'm not going to ping you just as an experiment to how fast you reply. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 04:19, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

== Your edit at [[User:Upaltez2‎]] ==

I am not going to say this again. Do not revert administrative edits made by administrators/checkusers without a good reason. For the record, what you said in your edit summary was not a good reason. Bsadowski1 is someone who knows what he is doing, so I expect that you respect his judgement and expertise in this matter. [[User:Chenzw|<span style="color:brown">Chenzw</span>]]&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="1">[[User_talk:Chenzw|<span style="color:brown">Talk</span>]]</font>&nbsp; 05:38, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

In addition, don't blank another user's page as you did at [[User:Upaltez]], even if the user is a sockpuppet. Leave that for the admins. It may be standard procedure to blank a sockpuppet's page, but that doesn't mean you should do it yourself. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 06:20, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

== Final warning ==

If you can't find something to do on this project (like actually edit articles, for example) and continue to exhaust the community patience through persistent badgering of the admins and processes of the project, you are going to be blocked again for disruptive editing.  We do not need to explain our actions to you 24/7.  Your attempts to correct our actions and change what we do does nothing but waste our times and energies which could be focused elsewhere.  

Since I posted a suggestion for a topic ban for you, you've made over 80 edits.  Of those 80 edits, a total of NINE edits have been to article pages.  Of those 9 edits, 3 were reverts of vandalism.  Two of the edits were nominations for deletion.  One of those two was immediately reverted by yourself.  Another is a "misclick" revert followed by a self revert of that "misclick."  The other edit of the nine is "a regular edit" (as you termed it) which was rightfully reverted by another user.  If you can't dedicate yourself to the improvement of articles, you really don't have a purpose here.  

Again, please consider your actions, or you'll find yourself blocked again for a longer duration.  [[User:Only|Only]] ([[User talk:Only|talk]]) 11:23, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
:Not making enough article edits [[WP:BLOCK|is not a blockable offense]]. It is allso very accusatory to put the word "misclick" in quotes. Are you saying I did it on purpose? [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 01:47, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
::In addition to what has been listed here edits like this [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:188.29.164.132&oldid=5284132|baiting of blocked users], so that you always have to have the last word, which begs if you have the maturity or [[wp:CIR|Competency]] to edit here, and adding your own wording to the warning, even though the admin who blocked them did not see the need to give any warning, sometimes ignoring vandals is being the bigger person, when they have vandalized your page.  Which that goes back to trying to correct admin actions, as listed earlier by [[User:Only|Only]].  With all this being said, I am imposing a block for continued disruptive editing. -- [[User:Enfcer|Enfcer]] ([[User talk:Enfcer|talk]]) 04:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

::Krett12, no one was saying that not making enough article edits would be enough to get you blocked. They were saying that the number of good article edits you made was low compared to the number of disruptive edits, low enough that overall you are being seen as a disruptive user. Tell me: what kind of work do you want to do here? --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 05:22, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

::Yes.  Yes I am saying you did it on purpose.  A couple of times as an accident is understandable.  But the number of "oops!!!" type reverts you have to make of yourself is getting far too suspicious.  And, I agree with Enfcer and Auntof6 on here.  Your lack of quality article edits shows some [[WP:NOT]] concerns.  As in, NOT here to improve the project.  Blocking based on [[WP:NOT]] is totally valid.  If you continue to just focus on badgering admins and baiting vandals as Enfcer pointed out, you will be indefinitely blocked for not being a productive member of this community.  [[User:Only|Only]] ([[User talk:Only|talk]]) 15:23, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

== Invitation ==

Krett12, I know you've had some trouble finding things to write about that interest you.  I'd like to invite you to visit my user page '''([[User:Etamni|click here]])''' and read the paragraph about "low-hanging fruit" then click the "''featured articles''" link in that paragraph and find a red-link article that might interest you.  Go find the related article on EnWiki and make a version of it for ''Simple''. The articles on that list are featured articles on EnWiki, which means they are well-written and include appropriate sources.  Remember that we are looking for simple words and grammar, but people reading ''Simple'' are still looking for information about things; not just a paragraph or two.  Also, remember to properly attribute the article to EnWiki on the talk page. <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">[[User:Etamni|Etamni]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Etamni|&#9993;&nbsp;]]&#124;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Etamni|✓]]&nbsp;</span> 18:10, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed|1=All I have done since the final warning is reply to a discussion and test out huggle (and a few minor other things). This is not disruptive in any way.

::OK, your grammar isn't so good there -- I don't know what you're trying to say.

:Yes, it is evading.  The only thing you get to do while blocked is discuss the block.  You don't get to contribute in other ways to the encyclopedia, and you definitely don't get to ask other users to proxy for you.  Can you give some concrete examples of what you believe constructive edits are and what kind you'll make when the block expires?  Because, like Auntof6, I'm concerned that you're not learning that your behavior is not good here and needs to be changed.  [[User:Only|Only]] ([[User talk:Only|talk]]) 16:16, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
::Meh, ok. According to the ''templated'' block message, I was "adding spam, making changes that do not have a neutral point of view, making personal attacks on others, not respecting other people's privacy, and vandalizing pages"---I didn't even do one of those!

::::::"Maybe I would've 'learned' it if you'd been a bit nicer about it." - from this statement, it seems that you are aware of whether your previous edits were constructive or unconstructive, but you are refusing to "learn" because we apparently are not "nicer about it".

{{od}}And another note about your holiday card: it's not good that those greetings are a large percentage of your total work here. Wikipedia is not a social website. If you're going to do social things like that, they should be balanced with at least as much constructive work. It's also disruptive in several ways: the recipients get extra online and email notifications that they have messages, people watching those talk pages get extra messages in their watchlists, you used a heading that's reserved for warnings and the like, and now you want someone else to clean them up for you. Not good. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 04:04, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
:Bah Humbug! It looks like he sent this to all of eight editors.  On EnWiki, those sending cards have sent them to, in some cases, hundreds of other editors. I received this same one from an editor (on EnWiki) I don't think I've ever interacted with. <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">[[User:Etamni|Etamni]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Etamni|&#9993;&nbsp;]]&#124;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Etamni|✓]]&nbsp;</span> 07:30, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
::{{ping|Krett12}} To fix the graphic on the six copies of the card that haven't been changed by their own users, you should change <nowiki>[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg]]</nowiki> to <nowiki>[[File:Stop hand nuvola.svg|43px]]</nowiki>. (I picked 43px because it's a common size for other purposes.) <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">[[User:Etamni|Etamni]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User_talk:Etamni|&#9993;&nbsp;]]&#124;&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Etamni|✓]]&nbsp;</span> 07:30, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

== Your change to [[Meow]] ==

With [https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meow&diff=prev&oldid=5288663 this change], you removed a link to Wikimedia Commons. In general, we need ''more'' links to Commons, not fewer. Was there a particular reason you thought this one wasn't needed? --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 06:24, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
:It seemed unnecessary and weird to have sounds of cats meowing. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 16:24, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
::The article is ''about'' the sound that cats make. For any article we have, if there is media for it, it's appropriate to include it in an appropriate way. The usual way is a link to the Commons category and even imbedding an individual file. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 18:31, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

== Your note to [[:User:Proud User]] ==

You might not know about an option in preferences that could help you with the problem you described. Go to "my settings", choose the "New changes" tab, and click the checkbox for "Better new changes (JavaScript)". That will combine changes for each page into a single line. It does a few other things, too, though, so you might not decide to keep it, but give it a try. Also be aware that the issue isn't always that a user doesn't use the preview button. We had at least one user here who made their changes in small increments because he or she was vision impaired and it was difficult to look at a lot of changes all at once. You never know what someone's challenges might be. --[[User:Auntof6|Auntof6]] ([[User talk:Auntof6|talk]]) 06:48, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
:I don't like the new change (I've seen it before on other wikis) but I'll try it anyway. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 16:25, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
