Questions
changeHi, and good luck on your request for adminship. I've asked some questions on the page, if you would like to answer them... they are optional, however. Best, NonvocalScream (talk) 18:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Admin time
changeHello, yes, it's that time of the year. You're no longer a rollbacker I'm afraid, so you'll have to hand the t-shirt back. You're an admin! Congratulations, you received some serious backing from the community and I hope you'll continue to contribute positively here and make a difference with the tools. Feel free to get in touch with any fellow admin should you need some advice. In the meantime, just wait for your admin t-shirt to arrive. All the best, and well done again.

Did you know improvements
changeHey Philosopher,
I'd like to point you in the direction of this discussion between myself and Fr33kman regarding the DYK process. I am notifying you because you are an active member of the DYK process.
Thanks,

IP welcomes
changeHi Philosopher! I saw, that you welcomed an IP (here). To welcome IPs, we have a special message, the {{Anon}} template. Please consider to this one. Barras (talk) 22:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- You just added the other template again. The anon template is better, because it includes a link to crate an account. Please use the other welcome. Regards --Barras (talk) 19:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Guess I did. Hmm...do we have a {{Welcome2}} version of this template? A welcome should be primarily focused on informing them about useful pages not merely letting them know about accounts, imho. --Philosopher Let us reason together.
- But we need (I think you know this) more editors. So we ask useful anons to create an account. I think it's a good template. Probably we get in this way one or two new editors. Barras (talk) 19:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- My point is that if we want the anons to become new editors, we need to let them know about how to edit not merely how to create an account. I don't want to get rid of the "how to make an account" stuff, just add the other useful information. Of course, I count editors as editors even if they don't create an account... --Philosopher Let us reason together. 19:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- Well, the anon welcome includes also the most useful links. I think if we use this one, the anons feel probably important and create an account. So we could have a new (great) editor. Barras (talk) 19:46, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
- I finally found (and imported) a good template for this from en. See {{Anon2}}, the companion to the registered users' {{Welcome2}}. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 21:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

You are invited to join the WikiProject Famous Americans. The objective of this project is to determine what the 30-50 most important American biographies are, making sure the pages of those people are written well, and in addition serve as a one-stop shop for a 2nd or 3rd grader looking for a Famous American to do a biography report on. Please sign up with it here so it can become a full-fledged project! Purplebackpack89 (talk) 21:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- I noticed your edit. You're correct. BTW, the signup is on the talk page, for some weird reason. Purplebackpack89 (talk) 01:37, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. I also fixed your template-link on the talk page - you can make {{this}} appear by typing {{tl|this}}. If you want a parameter to show
{{as|here}}
, simply type {{tlx|as|here}}. As for joining your project, I probably won't for now - I've got too many things to do in real life at the moment. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 02:08, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Since you're fighting the attacking as well, please go to User talk:Fr33kman#More titles. It may very well interest you. Thanks! Mythdon (talk • changes) 21:21, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Please create User:Mythdon/Attack titles, so I can list all future attack titles there. Mythdon (talk • changes) 21:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Created. If the title blacklist block is keeping you from creating in your own userspace (I hope it isn't!), let me know and I'll remove it from the list after things settle down. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 21:37, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
