:::Actually, you did [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Floquenbeam&diff=prev&oldid=693925140] -- what is "special tool"? Anyway, you can ignore those cranky old Wikipedians, as long as you're not intentionally disruptive, their snark is worse than their bite. (But lay off comments like [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Chris_troutman&diff=prev&oldid=693942258 Hey genius] -- that's not good. ) How'd you even ''find'' the template, it's barely linked from anywhere. <small>[[User talk:NE Ent|NE Ent]]</small> 01:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC) |

::::The special tool I use is called Twinkle, but I don't like to give out its name because I'm hoping it'll reduce on tool abuse. While my attempts will almost always be futile, I'll never change.

== Disruptive test edits == |
|||
Please don't disrupt Wikipedia to make a point or for experimental purposes, as you did in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rafflesia_mira&diff=prev&oldid=682038577 this edit]. Saying that you "sincerely apologize" does not justify your action, especially as the " apology" clearly wasn't sincere, or you wouldn't have been doing it. You may use a sandbox for experiments, but '''not''' articles. <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "[[User:JamesBWatson|JamesBWatson]]" ([[User talk:JamesBWatson#top|talk]]) 20:16, 7 December 2015 (UTC) |

:I would normally use the Sandbox, but I had to because I needed a warning from ClueBot NG because I was changing the way it recognized already existing warnings and wanted to see if it worked. BTW, please don't wait 3 months then give me a warning, just do it then. [[User:Krett12|Krett12]] ([[User talk:Krett12#top|talk]]) 01:26, 8 December 2015 (UTC) |

==[[:Donald Trumpet]]== |
|||
[[Image:Information.svg|left|48px]] |
|||
A tag has been placed on [[:Donald Trumpet]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the [[WP:CSD#Redirects|criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term. |
|||
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template '''<code>{{tl|hangon}}</code>''' to the page and state your intention on the redirect page's [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.<!-- Template:Redirtypo-warn --> <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">[[User:Etamni|Etamni]] | [[User_talk:Etamni|✉ ]]| [[Special:Contributions/Etamni|✓]] </span> 17:45, 31 December 2015 (UTC) |

::Hello again Krett12. The funny thing is I found the redirect when I typed "Donald Trump" into the search box, and "Donald Trumpet" was a choice in the drop down menu. I was expecting either a joke or someone completely unrelated to Donald Trump, so I clicked it out of curiosity. When I saw it was a redirect, I decided to tag it (which is something I rarely do). I laughed when it took me to your page for the notice. <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">[[User:Etamni|Etamni]] | [[User_talk:Etamni|✉ ]]| [[Special:Contributions/Etamni|✓]] </span> 04:31, 1 January 2016 (UTC) |

:::{{ping|Etamni}} Yeah, doesn't seem like something I'd do, does it? I was half asleep when I created it, and I don't blame you for wanting to view it (I guess it could seem like vandalism). Speaking of vandalism, is that why you were trying to find the article on Trump? I assumed it would be semi'd, and just went there to check.

::::I saw something on the news about him that I hadn't heard before and I went to see if the article mentioned it. It did. As for seeming like something you would do? Yeah, it does. But on EnWiki, there are lots of people who would do that, so the coincidence of it being someone I interact with on another project was humorous. That said, creating dumb redirects like that isn't humorous. There are editors here who would give you warnings over stuff like that, and you know what would happen with something like that on ''Simple'', right? <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">[[User:Etamni|Etamni]] | [[User_talk:Etamni|✉ ]]| [[Special:Contributions/Etamni|✓]] </span> 06:08, 3 January 2016 (UTC) |

==Listening to Wikipedia== |
|||
Have you checked out [http://listen.hatnote.com '''this link'''] yet? You can ''listen'' to Wikipedia, and you can click on the screen images for links to the articles making the music. It's kinda cool. I've made a userbox for it as well. If you are interested, you can find it at [[User:Etamni/Userboxes/ListensToWikipedia]]. If it doesn't interest you, that's ok. I use the site for vandalism patrol -- after awhile, you will get a sense of which edits might be vandalism and can click on them to go directly to the page and check out the edit. Sometimes they are vandalism, and sometimes they are not, but it's definitely more interesting than other methods of counter-vandalism patrol. <span style="text-shadow: 4px 4px 12px #ceff00, -4px -4px 12px #ceff00;">[[User:Etamni|Etamni]] | [[User_talk:Etamni|✉ ]]| [[Special:Contributions/Etamni|✓]] </span> 06:08, 3 January 2016 (UTC) |

== Parda Parda == |

Hi Krett, please can you explain the rationale behind leaving [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Parda_Parda&diff=699224304&oldid=699123267 this] message at [[User talk:Parda Parda]]? The user concerned hadn't made any edits for over a week (since 3rd January) and had already been indefinitely blocked some 12 hours prior to you leaving your message, as is clear from reading their talk page. It's not as though you'd just reverted one of their changes either. Seems a totally unnecessary action on your part — please take more care in future. <sub>└</sub><sup>'''[[User:UkPaolo| UkPaolo]]'''</sup>/<sub>''[[User Talk:UkPaolo|talk]]''</sub><sup>┐</sup> 22:23, 11 January 2016 (UTC) |

== Stop misusing == |

Stop misusing tool-based editing or you will be reported. In year articles, nothing tends to be referenced. Learn before doing. [[User:Carlossuarez46|Carlossuarez46]] ([[User talk:Carlossuarez46|talk]]) 21:46, 28 January 2016 (UTC) |

::{{tps}} Krett12, a friendly word of advice. Do you know how to see the credentials of the person leaving you a message? If you had done so for {{U| Carlossuarez46}}, you would have seen that they are a sysop with nearly 13 years of experience and more than 470,000 edits to their credit. Having learned this, you might pause a moment and consider whether they know something that you don't yet know about editing Wikipedia, its policies, etc. {{ndash}} and you might also reconsider the impulse to respond with a flippant and dismissive answer like the one above. I wouldn't expect Carlos to call his history, hence authority, to your attention {{ndash}} we try to be egalitarian around here {{ndash}} ''but I will''. You will be much more successful here if you develop a little more respect for those with a great deal more experience, and possibly even better judgment, than you have achieved, or could possibly have achieved in the relatively short time you have been working here. My advice; take it or leave it. <span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT, Arial, Helvetica; font-weight:140;">[[User:General Ization|<font color="#006633">General <i>Ization</i></font>]]</span> <sup>''[[User talk:General Ization|<font color="#000666">Talk </font>]] ''</sup> 22:17, 28 January 2016 (UTC) |

:::::::::[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks&diff=prev&oldid=702233767 This edit] is exactly like the kind of behavior that contributed to your ban on Simple. [[User:Only|only]] ([[User talk:Only#top|talk]]) 02:32, 30 January 2016 (UTC) |
|||
== Be careful == |
|||
While the bulk of your vandalism work has been good, I'm noticing some of your edits are resembling those that resulted in your block on Simple Wikipedia. Your move of the Keith Thomas article, for example, shows a lack of understanding, yet you went in decreeing basically that "this is the way things should be" when you didn't know that that was the correct way already. Your nomination of Template:Uw-vandalism4im, a template that has been in use for 8 years, seems terrible misguided to me, but we'll see what consensus says. And your edit at [[Help:Edit conflict]] is a perfect example of the behaviors; you're making such a minor/unnecessary change that didn't need to be changed, which is why it was reverted. It would really be a good idea for you to avoid any administrative aspect of Wikipedia such as these types of pages and instead focus on editing articles or reverting vandalism.

You need to go back and look at the history of [[Signs (journal)]]. You warned CherryZero123 for removing content without an explanation, in reality you removed content that CherryZero123 added.
