Introduce yourself

Hi Akiva, please take a few moments to introduce yourself and tell others on Wikipedia about a few of your special interests on your "user" page User:Akiva Quinn. Take care. IZAK 06:17, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Category for deletion

Hi Akiva: I have nominated the category you recently created Category:Jewish Philosophers for deletion, see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2005 June 17#Category:Jewish Philosophers for the reasons and further discussions. Please be MORE cautious when creating categories! As a new user you should first read Wikipedia:Categorization and get to know Wikipedia a little better. Thank you. IZAK 06:53, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Signing your name

When you make comments on talk pages (which is very much encouraged!), please sign your name at the end by typing -~~~~. Doing this, rather than typing your name out, creates a link to your user page and your personal talk page, giving everyone easier access to both. Thanks! -Seth Mahoney 00:11, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the welcome message and feedback on new Wikipedia categories. I take the points you have made. I am also grateful for the tips on signing. I will keep reading and learn the Wikipedia etiquette so that I can make a useful contribution. I have created a user page with a few quick entries on my interests (more to come). Many thanks! -Akiva Quinn 11:49, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Utilitarianism

Hello. I found your profile on WikiProject Philosophy. I'm looking for more perspectives to help resolve a debate in the Utilitarianism article on the difference between "Happiness" and the "Good". If you have any comments on the subject, please feel free to share them on the article's talk page. Thanks! --Malathion 8 July 2005 04:36 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Moral_Philosophy

Hello again. I am writing to inform you that I have created Wikiproject Moral Philosophy and you are invited to join. We are in need of more editors, and your help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! --Malathion 08:21, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi Akiva: Are you able to add to Jewish South African history? Thanks. IZAK 10:08, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Your contact info

Hi Akiva: Hope all is well. You have not enabled your Wikipedia Email feature in your "tool box" on the left hand side of your user page. Sometimes editors overlook that when it's a useful way of staying in touch with other editors. Best wishes. IZAK 12:38, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
