Hi, just noticed the nice work you've done on Khovanov homology. Glad to have you on board! --C S 07:25, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could take a look at the Knot polynomial article, which is a rather sad state at the moment. We've been looking for someone to review this article for quite some time now and, browsing your webpage, I thought you might have the necessary expertise. Phils 19:13, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Hey Nick -- noticed you editing the University of York article. Enjoy wikipedia! --Richard Clegg 14:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Erm... hello. Apparently you made some sort of change to a couple of templates on my user page - the comment said it was a migration from Babel-X to Babel, using AWB. What does this mean? --Nicholas Jackson 23:05, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Nick, could you add some refs to Notts High School? You need to use the ref and references tags. I can help if you need it Victuallers 09:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

For going above and beyond to prevent Wikipedia from being used for fraudulent purposes. Keep up the good work! Eustress (talk) 00:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC) |
Thanks for helping protect doctorate and other articles! --Eustress (talk) 00:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
I happened across a PDF of the University archives (link at the bottom of the page) which has meant that I've been able to fill in all the missing entries. It just struck me as an ideal article to give people a jumping off point into loads of areas of history, not just in mathematics. I guess it's nearly ready for Featured List nomination now! Mrh30 (talk) 13:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Nicholas, you have seemingly taken as a crusade the reduction of the list of examples of Research Doctorates. Are you taking it from a Ph.D. centric position that any other Research Doctorate is not REALLY at the level of the Ph.D. and as a result an expansive and more inclusive list is a waste of time? Why would you not believe it more appropriate to provide a complete listing and let the reader determine the value of the listing? And I am just assuming your motivation, but it's from a year or so of watching what you respond to - otherwise, most of which I agree with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.114.218.86 (talk) 21:03, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
In the US, you must be a full tenured professor to be a professor, just as in the UK. However, many people misuse the term. But there is no misunderstanding on this point in well-established institutions. Yes, staff are merely secretaries, etc. Zoticogrillo (talk) 20:50, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
The hierarchy in the U.S. is as follows: Professor (aka tenured professor), Associate Professor, Lecturer. An Assistant Professor is a term used by some institutions, and is generally the same as an Associate Professor. In a few institutions, an Assistant Professor is lower than the Associate Professor, but the Assistant Professor is not a traditional role, and as I understand it, it is simply a way of paying someone less. A Lecturer is simply an independent contractor with no formal relationship with the university. They are sometimes professionals without a graduate degree (for departments such as law, engineering, business, etc). Zoticogrillo (talk) 00:16, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello Mr. Jackson,
I noticed you reverted the capitalizations to uppercase. The information I got about when I lower-cased the degrees is from here, http://www.identity.wsu.edu/editorial-style/capitalization.aspx, manual of style.
Best,

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/juris_doctor, and indicate whether you agree or disagree to mediation. If you are unfamiliar with mediation on Wikipedia, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. Please note there is a seven-day time limit on all parties responding to the request with their agreement or disagreement to mediation. Thanks, Wikiant (talk) 13:44, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Many thanks, Nicholas, much appreciated. Agendum (talk) 23:17, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Dear Nicholas Jackson,
You uploaded and placed the pictures of Mantles of different British Orders? Really great, I do find them useful contributions to the pages about the orders! Do you maybe also have such a picture of a mantle of the Order of the Indian Empire? Thanks, Demophon (talk) 19:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Just a heads up that the Mediation Committee asked me to help out by mediating Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/Juris_Doctor. I've opened the case here and am asking the parties some initial questions. If you could watchlist that page, it would be helpful in keeping track of things. Regards. MBisanz talk 23:11, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for notifying me, I have reverted my move. Sorry for the mistake, I apparently only remembered part of Wikipedia:MOS#Article_titles, because it does say that ampersands should be avoided, but also specifies that they should remain if it is part of the formal name. --Crusio (talk) 14:29, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
That's the crest the school uses now, check the funky new website. All the 'original' boys hate it and want tufty back. I think for factual reasons the new crest should be used but we can put the original one somewhere in the article. Bthebest (talk) 22:05, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
OK, agreed as per comment on my talk page. p.s. you might be interested [1] Bthebest (talk) 16:52, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
The new logo has been well-received. The original crest is still used on formal occasions like Founder's Day but does not print well in a smaller version and hence the development of the logo. This point of discussion should not be conducted on such a public forum. Why not contact the School directly to discuss it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.40.232 (talk) 09:42, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Out of curiosity, where did you take the photos of the various robes such as the Knight of the Garter? 95jb14 (talk) 18:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for engaging Njsustain, and I'm sorry that the editor has taken you down quite a rabbit hole of contention! Some people are difficult for me to relate to. I didn't want to say publicly on that discussion page, but still want at least someone to know, for clarity sake, that Njsustain's use of that Martin citation was not merely an inadvertent mistake. Nothing in the book supported the statement at all, and the editor submitted that citation in bad faith. The editor's comments make it clear that the editor is not interested in engaging us in discussion. Therefore, a more dismissive and pro-active approach is probably appropriate. Zoticogrillo (talk) 21:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
In reply to your comment on my talk, I did not add the ((globalize)) template to Master of Science; I only played around with the hatnote. With regards to the 'globalization' of that article, I suppose that by only having the details of four countries' degrees, the article is inherently 'un-globalized'. Perhaps if the majority of the article (or at least a significant portion thereof) was a general description of the degree (and the countries' sections were expanding on that), the article would present information more applicable worldwide. Cheers, -M.Nelson (talk) 01:15, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
The reason I specifically included Ian Tracey in the article, was because it created relevant links between a number of other Wiki pages: the Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool houses one of the largest and most spectacular pipe organs in the world and its organist Prof. Dr. Tracey is an Honorary Doctor of Music who has published many works. I thought this was in line with the spirit of Wikipedia. Bewp (talk) 19:07, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Nick for your irrefutable logic and sanity over the Tai Chi title issue. Chuangzu (talk) 05:52, 22 August 2011 (UTC) |
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Tai chi. Since you had some involvement with the Tai chi redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Other related redirects are nominated at the same link. ~ Kimelea (talk) 03:22, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I have reverted your change to the University of York article, and I apologise for this, but I feel that the shield is a better choice for the main image as per my rationale here: Talk:University_of_York#Main_image. I hope this seems sensible to you? Thanks - blake- 17:32, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A. R. Philpott, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CGI (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

If you feel strongly about it, I'm willing to accept your (unexplained) removal of this term, which on second thoughts perhaps isn't as suitable as I'd thought, but be aware that far from being a tendentious coinage, it has had a lot of serious usage, e.g. 2270 results come up with Google Books.Yooost (talk) 16:46, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi there! Did you know that there will be a meetup in Birmingham on the 15th of November?
There hasn't been many meetups in Birmingham. I will be passing through on the 15th of November, so I thought I would see who fancied meeting up, while I'm in the area. I'm leaving this message on your talk page because you have previously expressed an interest in a meetup in Birmingham or Coventry.
