Your Opinion Please!
Hi Boffy, I have another series of FP I would be grateful if you could have a look and tell me what you think. If you don't want to be part of my little sub FPC voting, could you please tell me? Thanks --Fir0002 01:13, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- And again. Thanks! --Fir0002 07:57, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Your Opinion Please!
Hi, Boffy
For quite some time I have been uploading multiple images of the same subject as a Featured Picture Candidate, and, unknown (until recently) to me, this was causing considerable problems in the promoting/not promoting stage of the Featured Picture Candidates.
Recently Solipsist informed me of the problem and came up with the suggestion of holding my own semi Featured Picture Candidates page.
I would like you and several others (User:Sj, User:Solitude, User:Solipsist, User:Chris 73) to be the people who vote in this.
I would greatly appreciate your opinions on the photos.
The link to the page is User:Fir0002/FPCandidates
Thanks --Fir0002 08:29, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

G5
Thanks! I'd been wanting to split that for a while but was waiting for an article on the processor; didn't realize it had been made until the other day. - Hephaestos 23:07, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
IBM PC
Re the IBM PC picture: you're welcome, glad you didn't mind. I thought the books and stuff in the background, but I did think the presence of some other computer was distracting. It's a nice picture, you can actually make out some of the text on the screen if you squint a bit... Dpbsmith 12:20, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Videopac pictures
Thanks for responding. I was worried that they were company-produced pictures. RickK 14:51, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
Russian Blue
RE: Russian blue picture, I did not receive the owner's permission. I offer you my humblest apologies, I simply believed that any photo published on the internet was acceptable. This will not happen again. Sincerely, --Cormac Canales 05:33, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Christophe(r) Lambert
I changed all references to Christopher Lambert to "Christophe Lambert" a few months ago, as that is his real name(although in the peak of his career he was usually credited Christopher), did you change it back to Christopher on Highlander for a specific reason, or did you think Christophe was a typo?
Regards
Boffy b 21:59, 2004 Oct 4 (UTC)
A bit of both. You're right; I did think it was a typo. But I'm also thinking that 99% of the people who ever heard of him know him as Christopher Lambert. This is a quibble, though....
Incidentally, there is (or was) a typo on the Christophe Lambert page: you had "sometimes rendered as Christoper Lambert" -- I corrected this to "sometimes rendered as Christopher Lambert"
(Linguistic corollary to Murphy's Law: You will inevitably make a spelling error, grammatical error or typo in any post complaining about a spelling error, grammatical error or typo)
Best,

Re: Game of life board
Yes this photo was taken by me, as was the one on the Milton Bradley page. It is a good photo, my only kick against it is that one of the white houses has a little halo of light reflected from the flash. Thanks for your comment. --Fir0002 21:28, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- I'm sure I had some master plan to fill in all the pages I made redirects to, but that was months ago and college has taken up most of my time since. Feel free to get rid of them. Boffy b 12:39, 2004 Nov 29 (UTC)

Portrait
What is the copyright status of Image:Morwen.jpg? Boffy b 20:39, 2005 Feb 10 (UTC)
- No idea. I didn't take it so I'm not the owner. If you look at the image page you will note it isn't me that uploaded it either. ;) Morwen - Talk 08:40, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, I emailed Tim Starling(who has left Wikipedia), and he said:
Morwen showed us that picture on IRC, we asked if it was alright to
upload it, she said yes. It's possible the photo was taken by a
professional photographer who has retained the copyright. I would either
ask Morwen or call it fair use.
-- Tim Starling
- so shall I just tag it {{fairuse}}? Boffy b 13:58, 2005 Feb 11 (UTC)
Redirect
Please don't make a unclear redirect on meta. I hope you will delete it by yourself. --Aphaea* 23:21, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Re: Your user page
You're quite welcome; I just happened to be patrolling at the time, and I remembered the IP from a previous incident. Unfortunately it's an AOL proxy, so blocking it would be problematic. With any luck it was a random occurrence and not the start of some vendetta. Cheers, -- Hadal 03:28, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
"Boffy"
I'm just wondering where you got your nickname from. I am also known as Boffy and its an unusual nickname and I'm surprised someone else has it.
Yours
Boffy(the other one)
- You don't seem to be registered, so I'l reply here. I used to wear my hair in a boff, more correctly it grew of its own accord into what was apparently called a boff, and one of the many names slung my way for this was "boffy the barber slayer", which I quite liked, but it was too long for most messageboards, etc., so I shortened it to boffy_b in honour of boggy_b, one of the worms from Worms. You?
- The original boffy_b(always lowercase) 21:30, 2005 Mar 22 (UTC)
In primary school one of my friends read a book called Boffy and the teacher eater. The character "boffy" had the real name "Michael Smith" which happens to be my real name. That lead my friends to give me that nickname. It isnt used much by people talking to me in person but I use it most of the time online.
- Woah! It is now my aim in life to find a copy of that book. It's kinda weird to meet another boffy, of course the real question is, where did the author take THAT boffy's name from? boffy_b 22:55, 2005 Mar 23 (UTC)
