Very sad. Philcha has long been the editor I name when describing the sort of editor that Misplaced Pages needs more of. His phylum-level articles are some of the gems of Misplaced Pages. Looie496 (talk) 18:04, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
We will not forget you! bibliomaniac15 06:23, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Our deepest condolences to his family and all the people who loved him, also on behalf of the Italian OTRS operators.

legacy |
| Thanks to Philip, who graced this project with excellent content contributions, mainly in the Natural Sciences, and with good spirits, who gave awards as freely as he received them. Let us finish his projects, such as ANematode1 and ANematode2 to which he dedicated his last edits, and his other sandboxes, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:15, 12 June 2012 (UTC) |
- My condolences and heartfelt wishes to all the friends and family. Your work is greatly appreciated, and will not be forgotten. Chedzilla (talk) 23:55, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
Oh how tragic. I remember the name a few years back on here. My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Philcha.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:09, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

A proposal
If the user page is to be preserved in Philcha's memory it would be nice if it showed his many achievements on wikipedia. They were on the page up until this point but for some reason he then deleted most of the page. Couldn't the page content be restored to include everything from "Things I have done" downwards? If it's not considered to be appropriate to return the content he deleted himself then maybe there should just a link to the old version of the page for anyone who's interested in knowing what he contributed to the project. Richerman (talk) 08:19, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Pilcha is beyond our power to help or harm. His pages are really for the living, to help with remembrance, and grief. If people are for it, go and do it. Feel free to move my post announcing his death to the talk page if that's what's needed, too.--Wehwalt (talk) 08:30, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- I am very sad to hear about Philcha; he was so very helpful to me on On The Origin of Species and elsewhere. I strongly support restoring the older version of his talk page and adding the notice of his passing to that, so that those of us who remain can better appreciate all he contributed to our community. Rusty Cashman (talk) 18:13, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- I was going to do it today but I see the page has now been protected so I can't unless someone unprotects it again. Richerman (talk) 06:17, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
- I've unprotected the page to allow friends to properly restore or add material. I believe this came up at RFPP with a request to protect, which is common in these unfortunate circumstances, and I complied. Once it is to a point that full protection is desired, feel free to ping me and I will be happy to do so. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 12:16, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
- OK, I've restored much of the old page - please make any changes you feel appropriate in the next few days so the page can be protected again. Richerman (talk) 12:51, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

I came here to learn something about the editor who made very good comment to the Great Oxygenation Event article
When I read Philcha's comment, arguing that the vision of the oxygenation event as an extinction catastrophe was old-fashioned, and asking about what lines of living organisms are known to have become extinct due to it, I thought that he had made a very sensible observation. Many details concerning the sequence and reasons of this event are on debate now, but media depicts it as a simplistic story of cyanobacterias intoxicating and killing everything. So I came here and learned that he had passed away, and thought I would like to share my admiration for his contribution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.137.186.85 (talk) 06:52, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
