Lack of sources in edits
I noticed that your edits, or at least all the ones I have checked, are lacking any sufficient references whatsoever despite adding paragraphs of content. Please remember that generally on Wikipedia, you must
You appear to be very knowledgeable in the subjects about which you have edited, which is something we definitely need on Wikipedia; however, no matter whether you are an authoritative
I know referencing can be an intimidating and burdensome task, but it is a constitutive part of Wikipedia in particular and good research in general. If you need any help, feel free to ask me here (you can

- Actually, as an addendum, I want to correct myself (as shown above): you have cited some sources, and that is very much appreciated. I inspected some of your larger edits further and noticed them, such as in less welcoming editor may respond to your edits with a simple reversion and curt remark about it being insufficiently cited, no matter how much great prose you put out. That is a very discouraging experience and an editor such as yourself does not deserve such discouragement. My offer still stands with assisting you in your journey as a Wikipedian, though! —Nøkkenbuer (talk • contribs) 23:24, 19 August 2018 (UTC)]
Influences and notable ideas
Greetings. Template:Infobox philosopher: "Entries in influences, influenced, and notable ideas should be explained in the main text of one of the articles. Those that are not mentioned in the main text may be deleted." I deleted them as per template documentation. Please read the documentation of an infobox before you use it. --Omnipaedista (talk) 19:30, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
- If you add an idea to the infobox, but not the main text, please provide a source as I have done here [1]. --Omnipaedista (talk) 19:32, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Requesting your inputs plus some help in article expansions
Greetings,
Since I stumbled upon related sources I initiated an article draft Draft:Irrational beliefs. It seems you have earlier worked on article Irrationality. I would like to request your inputs plus some help in article expansion. Please do visit the draft, and help expand if feel interested in the topic.
Thanks and warm regards

Hello there! I see you've been quite active in some things related to the above mentioned pages. I'm pinging you @Sinveil: 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) 14:01, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
