Hey BOZ I created a new category page but misspelled the title ("Category:Korean Warboard wargames" should be "Category:Korean War board wargames"), and there is no Move button under Tools to correct this. Suggestions? Guinness323 (talk) 21:40, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

:Hey there Guinness323! :) I'm sure it's easy enough to get the page mover right, which is for categories and images and such, but I haven't gotten around to asking for this or I would help you. To fix :Category:Korean Warboard wargames you can find the instructions at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Speedy. BOZ (talk) 23:41, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Boz, for years now I've been meaning to drop you a note saying thanks for adding the Next Generation reviews to all the video game articles. It has saved me quite a bit of work, and of course made Wikipedia more informative. I hope you aren't bothered that I've been occasionally replacing the quotes you used. In 99% of cases I had no problem with the quote; it's just that I like article prose to flow from one statement to the next within each section, and sometimes there's no obvious way to fit a specific quote into that. I always feel presumptuous when I fiddle with another editor's good work, so I thought I'd better say something about that.

Hope you've been enjoying your editing this year so far. It's always good to see you around. Martin IIIa (talk) 23:16, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

:No, that's cool by me, I probably overquote anyway so go ahead and do whatever is best for the article. :) Thank you for your kind words, I truly do appreciate it! My next big project was CGW, and I got through about a decade of that before other projects demanded more of my time. :) Eventually though!

I mentioned this in 2 of the AfDs, but the more I think about it, perhaps to start a with a single page might be a good idea List of vehicles in comics, as a companion to List of fictional vehicles/List of fictional cars/List_of_fictional_ships#Comics/List of fictional spacecraft.

I think there are more than we might think, scattered out there in articles. The Avengers Quinjet, the Arrowcar, and so on. What do you think? - jc37 23:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

BOZ, in your opinion is Crypt of the Undead a real article now, worthy of being promoted to the main article space?

I found you added wargames introduced categories to many articles without removing them from boardgames introduced. Wargames is a subcategory of boardgames. Articles don't go in both. Maybe you would like to do some clean up.Lost in Quebec (talk) 22:48, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

If I am not mistaken, you have added a lot of bibliographical references to gaming articles. For a while now I've wanted to add refs to the games mentioned in the Polish https://www.rebel.pl/rebel-times/147-grudzien-2019.html but in all honesty, I can't seem to find the time and will do it, and I don't know when I can do it. The magazine is available online (it seemed to be down but they restored it). Some games had the titles translated to Polish, others don't. In either case, if you are interested in this type of publication, I wanted to point that out, since it is reliable, online, but obscure to find. It may help establish notability of some board games. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:55, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

:If you would be willing to take the time to identify which games had reviews but did not have articles, I would be more than willing to help you find a way to put as many of them to use as possible. :) For starters, how many of them to you see on User:BOZ/BTG reviews noticeboard?

(Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 19:49, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I see that you reverted my category addition. Per WP:BRD, I would like to discuss this. The character's identity as gay is discussed in the "In other media#Film" section, where it states that he is the first superhero to be depicted as gay in an MCU film. On top of this, the first citation listed is an NPR article describing the character as the MCU's first openly gay superhero. Out of respect, I will avoid restoring my revision until consensus has been established for its inclusion, but I did want to state that my addition of the category is correct, given this information. JeffSpaceman (talk) 10:47, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:Right, but the main comics version of the character's sexuality is unknown. The film version is a variant of the main comics character, and variants (other media, or alternate universes alike) can have as many different traits from the main version as are theoretically possible. We would not add all such traits as categories when they only apply to variants and not the main comics version. This character is in the "Fictional LGBTQ characters in film" category, which is appropriate and should not be removed. For other examples, Colossus has a variant in the Ultimate Marvel who is openly gay, but since the main version of Colossus has been consistently depicted as straight we have not added any LGBT categories to that article. You may have some leeway to make an argument that since his MCU film variant is gay then we could use the "Gay male superheroes" category, so it may be beyond me to say that if the medium is not mentioned in the category then because the film variant is gay we should have him in that category, although if there were a "Gay male superheroes in film" category then I would have no argument at all against including that one. I have also removed the category "Marvel Comics LGBTQ superheroes" as I believe my point fully stands about his comics version's sexuality being unknown. I did not check all of the other articles you added the "Gay male superheroes" category to, but the ones I did look at seemed appropriate as they all had been depicted as gay for their main comics version of the character. I just woke up so I hope this is not rambling too much. :D BOZ (talk) 13:28, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::The removal of the other category seems fair. I've been going around adding the new category :Category:Gay male superheroes that I created to pages under the :Category:LGBTQ superheroes category and subcategories, as I felt it would make sense for a more specific subcategory to delineate the sexuality of these characters (cf. :Category:Gay singers et al), but I get your point about the difference between comic and film depictions of characters. I probably will create a :Category:Bisexual male superheroes category at some point after I take care of all the heroes depicted as gay men, but feel free to remove the categories I add from wherever you may see fit based on the aforementioned difference. Thank you for discussing this with me. JeffSpaceman (talk) 14:10, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi BOZ, I want to explain who is Dr. Keith Kincaid.

Dr. Keith Kincaid was an American doctor who was once the employer of Jane Foster who later became his wife and the mother of their son, Jimmy. He is the man who did research about the Super-Soldier Serum that was in Steve Rogers's blood system by doing his bloodwork and other examinations which caused him to fully explain the Super-Soldier Serum capabilities with Steve Rogers. Courge Marvel (talk) 13:16, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

:OK thank you. If you wanted to include a mention of him then I think the article should at some point mention some of this information, because if the only time it mentions him with just his title and last name, readers would have no idea who this is unless they decided to do further research. BOZ (talk) 13:36, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
