==Bio==
Nick, kindly do us the favor of adding a bio of about 50 words or so to your userpage.  This is actually a requirement of everyone.  Thanks! [[User:Stephen Ewen|Stephen Ewen]] 01:39, 7 November 2007 (CST)
 
== Redirect ==
 
Nick, is there a special reason why you created a redirect at [[Cost-benefit analyssi]]?
I don't think that spelling (or rather: typos) like this should be redirected.

:I did make that typo when I initially searched for cost-benefit analysis. The text I mistakenly entered yielded no search terms, so I created the redirect assuming that others could make the same mistake but fail to catch their error (and by extension assuming that some folks are pretty darn unobservant). I'm not sure what issues other than space are considered when creating redirects, and I figured that space was a non-issue. I apologize if I am simply--and I'm assuming I am--misinformed. But out of curiosity, what's the reason for not redirecting typos? EDIT: I just considered two other potential reasons: One, of course we can't spend all our time creating redirects for typos; two, such redirects will devalue "What links here" pages. So, once again, apologies on my part. [[User:Nick Bagnall|Nick Bagnall]] 14:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
:: No harm done. It is just a habit of mine to "clean up" if I happen to notice something. Such "misspelled" titles usually are the result of an mistake made when creating a page and left after a move correcting this mistake. In this case I noticed that it was created intentionally and therefore I asked before any action. My main reason is to keep the listings free of "wrong" titles. Moreover, wrong titles are valid links and shown blue, while a red link warns an Author that something may be not correct. --[[User:Peter Schmitt|Peter Schmitt]] 17:12, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
 
== Video games subgroup ==
 
Hi Nick. You have been particularly active in the video games articles, and therefore I would like to invite you to join the '''[[CZ:Video_Games_Subgroup|new Video Games Subgroup]]'''. If you would like to join simply add <nowiki>[[Category:Video Games Members|Bagnall, Nick]]</nowiki> to your user page. --[[User:Chris Key|Chris Key]] 11:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 
: Hi Nick, I notice you haven't been around for a while. The Video Games articles are picking up slowly, and we now have two approved articles: [[Doom (video game)]] and [[World of Warcraft]]. I'm also an Editor now, so can help get articles approved. Would love to have you back! --[[User:Chris Key|Chris Key]] 17:47, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
