User talk:Brianboulton's Family

Hello[edit]

First of all, my condolences. I never met Brian in real life, nor interacted with him on wikipedia. But I often saw his work, and respected it. I also respected the way he interacted with fellow editors. I am very sorry to hear that he paased away. May his soul rest in piece.

Regarding uploading the photos: if you are going to upload the photos under public license, you can do it at the wikimedia commons (link to commons). You dont need to create a different account there. You can login with same account of wikipedia. Also, on commons, you can upload the photo immediately; you dont need your account to be "confirmed" there.

If you have any doubt or questions, please feel free to ask me. I will be watching your talkpage too. Also, may i know at what age Brian passed away? You dont have to disclose it if you are not comfortable.

Regards, Kiran. —usernamekiran(talk) 14:11, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good to meet you, even on such a sad occasion. Photos would be great, and every time I see his user page I think the two people should show on one image. On 9 Monday we learned a song which we will perform on Sunday, and I made it a red link immediately, - it says "let me go into your peace". - I will never forget that he and Tim riley made me a partner for Messiah going for highest quality: "The people in darkness have seen a great light". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:14, 12 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the user page with the photo! Another corner where Brian is remembered id Project Opera, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Opera#Brian Boulton. Voceditenore who compiled his featured articles for the project, is also the one who said clearly "the best editor". She is great! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:49, 14 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to look a bit behind the scenes, Wikipedia:Peer review/Franz Kafka/archive1 is the review I remember most thankfully, difficult topic and his amazing patience, and a much better article as a result. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:01, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note re writings[edit]

I would like to offer my condolences. I am a huge admirer of Mr. Boulton's work. If you are still using this account, and see this message, could you please let me know? there are some drafts that Mr. Boulton left that I am working on. they are absolutely wonderful, and a true example of the intellectual depth that he brought to his work. I would like to communicate, and let you know what I hope to do with them. If you might wish to reply, I would be greatly honored to let you know more. I really appreciate your help. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 14:28, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
