AFC article: 'HabitRPG' declined

Hey Huon!

You just declined my articles for creation article, HabitRPG. You said,

 This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral 
 point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources.

I do not understand why you said this. To me, it seems as though my submission is neutral and has a formal tone. Can you please explain further?

Thanks! Newyorkadam (talk) 02:40, 1 December 2013 (UTC)Newyorkadam

P.S. If I:

• find a different reference than the Wikia one
• describe the criticism of the mobile application

do you think the article would be Misplaced Pages-quality?

There are several issues. Firstly, the draft is very short on reliable third-party sources to establish that the program is notable in the first place. Secondly, it's almost exclusively a how-to guide explaining the program in great detail while ignoring most of the real-world significance - it doesn't even tell how old the program is. And thirdly, your best source is a highly critical review whose criticism is ignored entirely. That's a WP:NPOV violation.

My suggestion would be to find another two or three independent sources, preferably in more mainstream publications, and to rewrite the draft to reflect what those sources have to say. Huon (talk) 12:06, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Spread the Christmas spirit by adding {{subst:User:Matty.007/template/Christmas}} to someone's talk page with a friendly message. If everyone who got this put it on two talk pages, we would have... lots of Christmas spirit! Have fun finding links in this message!

Also, I replied on my talk. Thanks, Matty.007 12:27, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for the help! Kindest regards, JoshR92 (talk) 11:36, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Huon!!! User:Feodor Kuzmich —Preceding undated comment added 01:11, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations!

		The Really Nice View for Really Nice Work Award
		Hello Huon, I saw that you have been doing some really nice work on Misplaced Pages, including helping me a lot, particularly on BLP, but also in admin-y areas in general; so I thought that you deserved to be the fifth recipient of the 'Really Nice View' award. Congratulations! Matty.007 17:41, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Wow, thanks! I certainly appreciate the view; much nicer than what's outside my own windows... Huon (talk) 17:59, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Perri Reid

Hello Huon, It will be 2 weeks this coming Saturday. Still no replies from summerphd to the questions I proposed on the talk page.
-http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Perri_%22Pebbles%22_Reid#november_2013_edits_...page_overhaul...let_us_work_TOGETHER_SUMMERPHD
-http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Perri_%22Pebbles%22_Reid#section_1:_what_should_be_in_early_career.3F
-http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Perri_%22Pebbles%22_Reid#section_2:_how_about_a_separate_section_for_Pebbles_managing_TLC.3F So I am going to go ahead and edit the article. I did some updatingon 23 November, and they surprisingly werent reverted. My fear is that as soon as I do that it will rear its head again and revert all my edits and censor everything citing 'blp'; and then it will call an admin and get the page locked. Thanks. 65.205.13.26 (talk) 21:47, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I do intend to remove any unsourced husbands, children and such and unsourced contentious claims about living people from the talk page, citing our policy on the matter. If this leads to repeated re-adding of the unsourced material as it did previously, I will request page protection. If you have reliable sources for the contested material, add the sources when you add the material and there is no problem. - SummerPhD (talk) 22:30, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Wow, congratulations! I'll consider it an early christmas present. Thank you for your effort, and happy editing! Huon (talk) 20:19, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

• : Thanks Huon. “They” put the thumbscrews on me for months on end and here’s why (I think): Por regla general, se mira con más detalle y rigor un artículo que ya fue borrado y en el cual se insiste (transl: As a general rule one wants to look in fine detail and with great rigor at an article that was deleted and where insists.) (from an exchange between two bibliotecarios/editor). Had it not been for your hint where and how to start a subpage, the phenix might never have risen from the ashes (read: being deleted almost the minute I opened my Spanish AfC page). Thanks again. (Pronacampo9 (talk) 21:50, 6 December 2013 (UTC))

That sounds... counterproductive. "A new editor made a mistake but is willing to solve the problem. Let's make it as difficult as possible!" I don't want to know how many good-faith editors they scare away with that approach. Huon (talk) 22:13, 6 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for your help with chronotherapy! Hordaland (talk) 18:29, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello

Hello, moved to bottom because it was showing up oddly on Facebook. Agree that users should not read through whole article to find info about previous org as new org launched recently. What if its at bottom and in bold? — Preceding unsigned comment added by VeteranUSA1 (talk • contribs) 19:00, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages couldn't care less about Facebook's display issues. If you consider those issues significant, you should contact Facebook itself. Huon (talk) 19:32, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jules Bache, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Furth (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

BLP

Hi, would you be able to give User:Matty.007/sandbox/Ross William Ulbricht a once over to check that it conforms to BLP, so that I can replace the limited contents of the current article Ross William Ulbricht please? Thanks, Matty.007 21:29, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Seriously. Just the start. Official publication announcement BY THE AUTHOR and you want to ignore it. Stop being a crackpot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.199.208.235 (talk) 21:49, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

AFTER FURTHER REVIEW I keep running across more coverage and cross-publication so it's clear you don't even know what the fuck you are talking about. Please do some minimal research before attacking pages or just stay the fuck away.

I have explained my rationale in greater detail at Talk:Skin Game (novel). The author's own website is not a good source because it's (obviously) not independent. Huon (talk) 22:11, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

I have reported you to WP:ANI for your abuse in locking the page for the skin game novel, book hater. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.199.208.235 (talk) 19:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Your opinion

Hi Huon, would you mind giving me your opinion on this please? Thanks again, Matty.007 19:39, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

That cannot be fixed via admin tools (I'd have to duplicate the edit, once for Operation Huckaback and once for Herm itself). I'll add a note to the talk page instead. Huon (talk) 00:30, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Your approval

Dear Huon, Happy Holidays. I have followed your advise and removed the poorly sourced comments on Cenk Aydin. However, this gentleman was clearly named Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum which is a great honor. His page is on WEF website just because he was named Young Global leader. Additionally, he is on the Presidents Advisory Group of the EastWest institute, which is one of the most influential think-tanks in the world. You can also read articles on his peers. Additionally, this gentleman was the COO of Bank of America, Head of JPMorgan Segment and Citigroup. An extremely notable individual who combined banking with not for profit activities. I would greatly appreciate if you help me. More than happy to improve, please teach me how.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kemaleer (talk • contribs) 01:18, 30 December 2013 (UTC) Additionally, please have a look at this document in addition to the reference list on the page. This explains how notable you need to be to become a Young Global Leader:

I have replied at Talk:Cenk Aydin. If he's that notable, it should be easy to find, say, three to five newspaper articles that discuss him in some detail. Huon (talk) 01:42, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Huon- I have found those newspaper articles are in Turkish. Additionally, have you browsed through other names that are named Young GLobal Leaders. His news are summarized on this page, a news summary page http://newsle.com/cenkaydin Additionally, those are not his own pages, he is featured in those. There are also thousands of news on the organizations where he assumed leadership roles, JPMorgan, Citigroup, EastWest Institute. Would you please let me know. I am trying to convince you to the best as I am also learning this. THanks for the guidance. If you wish I can extract all the newspaper articles. But have a look at those. Kemaleer (talk) 01:50, 30 December 2013 (UTC) Other sites: (Turkish) http://crd.ku.edu.tr/sites/crd.ku.edu.tr/files/newsletter/010510/devam_280410_7.html I have tens of articles on this gentleman. As far as I can see he is on the same list of leaders as Jimmy Wales, Roger Federer, Larry Page, etcKemaleer (talk) 01:56, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

	The "Bad for Craigslist" Award
	You are, apparently, "bad for Craigslist". I have no idea what that means, but I very much imagine it's good for Misplaced Pages. You therefore win this award! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
