Your addition of Whig history to scientific myth seems quite inspired. Please accept this apple as a small token of appreciation. Warden (talk) 00:31, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I, unfortunately, was never given the privilege of being able to work with you. I believe we may have spoken a little bit in passing, but nonetheless, I wanted to share my condolences, and to tell you that (just based on what I'm seeing here by other editors who did know you) you'll be missed here. Your time spent volunteering for this project... Thank you. Thank you very much. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:09, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Precious (repeated)

Magnificat

Thank you for quality articles ("articles I am guilty of"), such as King James Version, memento mori, Latin profanity, Aubrey Beardsley, Thérèse of Lisieux and Magnificat, for updating Kurt Masur, for service from 2003, - Steve, you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Help with Philosophical pessimism and Antinatalism#Asymmetry between good and bad things

Hello there! I see you've been quite active in some things related to the above mentioned pages. I'm pinging you @Ihcoyc: directly to ask for some help. I've started 3 initiatives for these pages. If you could spare some time in the near future, could you please take a look at the proposal and voice your opinion? Of course, if you have interest, time, and energy to participate that would be amazing!

Here are the projects:

1. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal for an overhaul of the article — this initiative is already in progress. The idea is to raise the quality of the page by switching it from a mere historical account to a more encyclopedic format.

2. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal to split the History into a dedicated page — related to the one above. The historical account is overly detailed. It would be much better to have a dedicated page for the history of philosophical pessimism and leave only a brief history in the main page.

3. Talk:Antinatalism#A proposal to create a dedicated page for Benatar's axiological asymmetry — here, the idea is to extract the axiological asymmetry argument into a dedicated page. This way, a more detailed presentation could be given. In addition, we could expand on the various responses others philosophers made and counters from Benatar. Other pages could have a brief description and link to the details page.

I hope at least some of this will spark your interest! Fantastiera (talk) 14:02, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
