Foxy of foxey?

Seems to me that the song name is supposed to be spelt without an "e". Pictures of album back covers that I found on the web were all spelt without an "e" and [1] mentions that it was incorrectly spelt with an "e" on the US version of Are you experienced.—Vadmium 05:35, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the back of "Are You Experienced?" [UK] it is spelt without an E. However, when you insert the CD into a computer it automatically is called "Foxey Lady". In the dictionary it is spelt "Foxy", but who knows?! Personally I'm for Foxy.

This is true. There is no 'e' in 'foxy'. But the way things are working today on the 'Niki Wiki' this will take at least years to fix. JW has a layer of apparatchiks under him today he's not aware of.


The reason it comes up with "Foxey" when you insert the cd is because that data is pulled down from the CDDB where it is spelled incorrectly. The correct spelling is Foxy. Wikipedia is not for propogating typos made by the first person to enter the data into the CDDB. Changing name and reference. Octothorn 06:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is currently inconsistent, using one spelling for the title, and another to start the first sentence. That's not ideal; which spelling should we go with? -GTBacchus(talk) 19:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm changing it to 'foxy' - it seems to be the general consensus. Im.a.lumberjack 22:33, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It is known both ways. I changed it to say both, which is a Wikipedia convention. --Trweiss 20:09, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
However, most people I know (being from the US and a Jimi fan) spell it as Foxy - it's not a US thing. Edited appropriately. --Garykempen 3 Sept 2008 —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:09, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
