| Hi Aaron, | |||
| It would be accurate if it read as follows: | |||
| "The Gunns Stand surrounds approximately half the ground, and has a capacity of 5,700. The Northern, Southern and Eastern Terraces have a capacity of 6,000. The current seating capacity of the venue is 11,825 with the new Northern Stand proposed to be finished in August 2010, an additional 2175 seats will be added. | |||

| Hi Robert, Great to see plans for the Northern Stand coming along! | |||
| Do you know of an internet article/book that notes the combined capacity of the Northern Terrace, Southern Terrace and Eastern Terrace? Otherwise this sentence on wikpedia's York Park page will have to get deleted. "The stands surround approximately half the ground, and collectively have a capacity of between 5,500 and 6,000, bringing the grounds seated capacity to 11,700," because the sentence doesn't have a reference, even though the claim is probably correct. Any help would be appreciated. | |||

| Hi Philcha, afraid I've been very busy recently, and have also somewhat lost interest in WP for the moment.

| Regarding : the reason I had replaced {{tlf|disputed}} with {{tlf|underdiscussion}} is that, as far as I know, the "disputed" tag is only for articles. And it looks awkward to say that a guideline's "factual accuracy" is disputed—especially for newbies who come along to read that guideline for the first time and wonder what the tag is supposed to be telling them. It's the guideline's value to Misplaced Pages, not its "factual accuracy", that is disputed. <b class="Unicode">]</b> <small><sup>]</sup>/<sub>]</sub></small> 20:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC) | |||

If you are agreeable, and as per your remark "review paused", can i ask that you leave the review on hold until Monday without doing anything further, and in that time i will try and provide an expanded profile of the company. Please bear in mind that, until the s**t hit the fan with the collapse of these MISs, the company/ies (it has a complex group structure, and itself seems to use different names somewhat interchangeably, as do the media) had a relatively low profile.

Condolences
My deepest condolences to those who knew and loved him. I didn't know Philip, but saw lots of his edits. He was good, and will be missed. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Very sad news. My condolences to his family and friends. Guettarda (talk) 03:24, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
A terrible loss to the project. My condolences to his family. Kaldari (talk) 03:38, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
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)
Will be remembered here for his excellent work. Shyamal (talk) 04:04, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
He did a lot for the English Misplaced Pages. My condolences to family and friends of Philcha. decltype (talk) 13:28, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
What a sad loss. I read tons of his stuff. Why is it always the good ones we lose? My sympathy to his family and friends. Pesky (talk) 18:09, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Our deepest condolences to his family and all the people who loved him, also on behalf of the Italian OTRS operators. It's always sad when this happens to one of us - but his "little" legacy will last forever, as Misplaced Pages will. Thank you Philcha.

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)
- Thank you for letting him speak, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:58, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Philcha was a big help to me on a few articles. It's very sad to read of his death. My condolences to his friends and family. Parrot of Doom 08:47, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Philcha and I interacted here and there on biology articles - I am sad to read this. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:16, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I was very sorry indeed to see this. He'll be greatly missed. I send my condolences to his family and friends. SlimVirgin 18:36, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
I just learned of Philcha's death. I enjoyed working with him on both his and my GAs, especially his Fossils of the Burgess Shale. He was good company here at the 'pedia. hamiltonstone (talk) 04:50, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
I also just learned about this, after becoming aware of his illness just a few months ago. Never interacted with him that much, but we shared a lot of the same interests. His name became familiar to me through his work on the higher-tier articles on biology and invertebrate paleontology. He will be missed.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 18:30, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

I have not been very active on Misplaced Pages for several years now, and only just now (very belatedly) learned of Philcha's untimely death. I am very sorry to learn of his passing. He was an outstanding editor. We wrangled over the Staunton-Morphy controversy, and were ultimately each awarded a Half Barnstar by SyG for our efforts. Philcha was unfaltering in his efforts to reach consensus, even when I was in retrospect probably being a bit of a jerk. I thought he was being unreasonable, but I eventually came around. He gave me wise counsel when I was in an editing war over Anne Applebaum. He was a great editor and a very good person. Krakatoa (talk) 05:04, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
