R&I – a new approach
R&I has been protected for a breather while we try to form some consensus as to the direction. In the interim we have set up a “sandbox” at: User:Moonriddengirl/Race and intelligence/backgound. Moonriddengirl is a neutral admin who has set up the space where we can work on the text section by section; this allows us to have a talk page for the micro project. So far JJJamal, Futurebird and I have made suggested changes with additions in bold and deletions in strikeout. This section and its talk page is an experiment in trying to come together as a group on a focused area. If it works we’d like to approach Guy, the admin who has protected the page, to insert our work-product into the protected article and then take on another section. I would really like to get your feedback on this so that we can demonstrate a consensus. Thanks. --Kevin Murray 19:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
User Turkuun
Hello, I read the Finalnd article discussion area and noticed that the user Turkuun has also caused some problems in Finland article with his radical edits. We have a similar situation with the Estonia article where he is trying to restructure and rewrite the existing and approved article chapters and headings. I was wondering if you could provide some help or advice in dealing with such contributor as Turkuun is? Karabinier 00:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Aaro Olavi Pajari
What sources did you use to say he is most often referred to as "Aaro Pajari"? Most of the sources that I consulted used his full name. --Bejnar (talk) 20:19, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Pakkoruotsi
You wrote "not necessarily derogatory, sometimes used by e.g. newspapers as a purely descriptive term". I do not have good sources, so not redoing that edit, but I question using the word "as a purely descriptive term. It may be used as such by people not liking the subject, and also otherwise more or less accidentally. I do not see "somewhat charged" as a correct description.
Olisin iloinen, jos voisit hiukan selventää missä yhteyksissä sanaa käytetään neutraalisti. Avainsana tässä ehkä on "sometimes": joskus sana lipsahtaa toisissakin yhteyksissä. En koe sellaisen muuttavan sanaa neutraaliksi.

Gardner/Multiple Intelligence
Hi there, it looks like you're involved in an edit war over a couple of articles. I found this dispute because User:ProjectZero posted Howard Gardner to WP:RPP, in what appears to be an attempt to block you (or anyone) from editing the article. Judging by the user's edit pattern, I would say that they might have a conflict of interest with the articles in question; I would suggest asking the user about it, and then taking it to WP:COI/N if it remains an issue. Also, the Howard Gardner article appears to be a textbook case of WP:COATRACK; IMO it should either be expanded to meet WP:NOTABILITY and WP:V, or AfD'd. In addition, see WP:SELFPUB #4; the article is in dire need of third party sources.
Just thought I'd let you know, since I don't feel like getting directly involved :-) Mildly MadC 17:42, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Race and intelligence
Hello Victor,
I notice you’ve left a few comments on the talk page for this article, and you seem like a fairly reasonable person. (Your suggestions about my proposed addition to the article were helpful, for example.) Would you mind being a bit more involved there? Mathsci has been trying to make a lot of changes to this article very quickly, as well as to related articles such as History of the race and intelligence controversy, Mainstream Science on Intelligence, and Snyderman and Rothman (study). Because of the speed that he’s been making these changes, as well as the lack of many users involved in these articles at present, not many people have had the opportunity to comment on the changes he’s making. I think changes of this magnitude deserve more attention and scrutiny than they’ve been getting, so I would appreciate your participation as an additional editor to provide feedback about them, if that’s all right with you. Is this something you’d be willing to help out with? --Captain Occam (talk) 11:42, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- I notice you’ve recently gotten involved in a few of these articles to help make them more neutral. Thanks; I appreciate that. Lately I’ve been busy discussing Mathsci’s recent changes to the main Race and intelligence article, but please let me know if you feel like you need someone else to help you in the rest of these articles. I know from experience how taxing it can be to debate with Mathsci.
- If you’re feeling overwhelmed, one other person who you can contact for help is user:David.Kane. He’s not as active here as I am, but he’s also helped make things less difficult for me when I’ve been in similar situations in the past. --Captain Occam (talk) 20:06, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
