xtools problem

Hi. There seems to be a problem at https://tools.wmflabs.org/ with xtools. At https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/ all I see is "No input file specified." — Wbm1058 (talk) 15:41, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Why did you threaten me?

Why have you threatened to block me for marking the lightbreather account as a SPA? That account is the very definition of an SPA. It edits Gun Control Related articles exclusively. --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 19:15, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

You should also take a look at this: 172.129.246.164 Thanx --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 19:19, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

If you post another SPA message in relation to LightBreather, I will block your account. Your behavior is disruptive. You're not labeling this user to notify others, you're doing it to harass them. Knock it off, I swear an ANI thread will support my action.--v/r - TP 05:20, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

I promise you that it is not my intention to harass anyone, and if you feel that it is disruptive, I certainly won't place the label anymore. I am here for Misplaced Pages and if you say not to use a tag, then that is good enough for me, I must not understand how to use it correctly, or I must not understand what an SPA is. So can you explain what I am misunderstanding? This is very frustrating. The lightbreather account edits only gun-control related articles, Not gun articles, but Gun Control related. Exclusively. The account's edits are so far to one side, that they pass my own, and I am pro-control myself. How is this not an SPA account? Or if it is an SPA, why can't I label it as such? --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 19:50, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

It's pretty clear here WP:DTTR. He may be a SPA, but he also has several thousands of edits. Specializing in an area of Misplaced Pages isn't a crime.--v/r - TP 02:03, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Seeking clarification concerning deletion of a particular Misplaced Pages page

Dear TParis,

In late September 2011, you were credited with deleting the entire Misplaced Pages page concerning Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore. In that same timeframe, links to the Misplaced Pages page were also rapidly purged from various search engines. The web metrics concerning this page have become a point of journalistic interest in the weeks prior to, and following, the deletion.

Having a copy of the original Misplaced Pages page, and using the parameters you suggested for determining what rationale might have motivated the deletion prior to communicating with you, I find myself unable to get an unequivocal sense of the reasoning behind the deletion. To complicate this matter, the deletion came within a few days of a highly controversial indictment of Dr. Kishore. That this could be entirely coincidental, and the deletion made for completely justifiable reasons independent of any other activity surrounding the subject of that Misplaced Pages page, is certainly what one would hope would be the case. Therefore, understanding the rationale behind the deletion would go a long ways toward establishing the timing to be coincidental, with the one event not having any causal relation to the other.

I am publishing a series of articles about Dr. Kishore's case and have in passing drawn attention to the Misplaced Pages deletion in light of its suspicious timing. If the rationale for deletion is legitimate, however, I will need to revise any published statements concerning the deletion that would cast it in an unnecessarily derogatory light. The objective basis for the deletion should trump any subjective perception concerning it on the part of the subject, so long as the former is legitimate.

Thanking you in advance for your insights into this ongoing, and growing, controversy,

(talk page stalker) As with all deletions on Misplaced Pages, this one included a summary explaining it. If you go to Punyamurtula Kishore, you can see the summary, which says "03:15, September 25, 2011 TParis deleted page Punyamurtula Kishore (Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Punyamurtula Kishore)". If you follow the link in that summary, you will see the community discussion which decided the article should be deleted. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 21:42, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

The rationale for deletion is based on the deletion discussion linked above by Fluffernutter. Generally, we prefer these discussions to be more significant than 2 people, one of which barely has any edits. However, because the subject is a living person, I generally lean toward delete when notability is questionable or minor. If you have information which would qualify it for restoration, you're welcome to explain it here. Otherwise, I'm unlikely to restore the article. When we consider deletions, the impact on the subject's search engine results is not a factor. If you would like a copy of the deleted article, you may register an account on Misplaced Pages with an email address and I'll email you a copy of it (we generally avoid posting email addresses on the site). However, the justification for deletion is that the article did not meet our requirements at WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Outside considerations, as suggested in your undertone, were not a factor as far as I am concerned.--v/r - TP 02:01, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
