I made this change you see below:

The following ranges, based on Standard Scores of intelligence tests, reflect the categories of the American Association of Mental Retardation, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV-TR, and the International Classification of Diseases-10: (I wrote this part as the previous author stated the following categories were not used any more. I wanted to point out that they are still used and still listed in the DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10)

Class 	IQ Profound mental retardation 	Below 20 Severe mental retardation 	20–34 Moderate mental retardation 	35–49 Mild mental retardation 	50–69 Borderline intellectual functioning 	70–79 (I changed Borderline mental retardation, which is not a real category to borderline intellectual functioning, which is the proper name in the DSM-IV-TR)

Since the diagnosis is not based only on IQ scores, but must also take into consideration the person's adaptive functioning, the diagnosis is not made rigidly. It encompasses intellectual scores, adaptive functioning scores from an adaptive behavior rating scale based on descriptions of known abilities provided by someone familiar with the person, and also the observations of the assessment examiner who is able to find out directly from the person what he or she can understand, communicate, and the like.

(I wrote the last paragraph too, to make it clear what constitutes the diagnosis of MR. I am Daniel Vogel, a licensed psychologist whose website is at www.vogelpsychological.com.  I don't know what else can make my contributions more "official" as I am relatively new to Wikipedia but I work with this population a lot and also teach psychological assessment at Argosy University, Chicago.  If you want a reference for my last paragraph, a good one is Mental Retardation: An Introduction to Intellectual Disability by Mary Beirne-Smith, James M. Patton, and Shannon H. Kim. (2005) Prentice-Hall.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities
A tag has been placed on Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Drmies (talk) 14:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I have not completed the entry but what I included thus far surely is sufficient for a brief introduction, as the topic is a test that reflects the Cattell-Horn-Carol theory of intelligence. It has done so for many years prior to the publication of newer editions of tests that are also scrambling to get up to date on this model (for example, the brand new WAIS-IV). This test is widely used by clinical and school psychologists for its contribution to CHC theory as a measurement instrument. I am not interested in writing this article merely to promote a product but to contribute to an understanding of test measurement. I have done a good enough introduction for now, and the article awaits more detail. Is that acceptable as a brief descriptive entry (there was no entry on this test yet at all, despite its popularity and originality) or should I only add the article when it is fully written?


 * I placed a speedy template on the article (which has been removed by an administrator) since it seemed to mainly promote the book that it came in and its authors. I don't mind it not being deleted, and I saw (later) there are some significant hits in Google Scholar--but I do believe this article needs some revisions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bugskull (band)


A tag has been placed on Bugskull (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Logan Talk Contributions 21:24, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Harry Kane, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

Please unblock me
The IP that was used was the number that originated from clicking a link in Wiki that claimed to find my IP. However, that number was not my IP. When I go to WhatIsMyIP.com it says that my IP is with Comcast, which is XFinity, not at all the one that NinjaRobotPirate maintained. You are not finding my IP correctly. Even this reply is saying something about SurfShark. I am a customer of XFinity/Comcast, not of any of the other hosts you are maintaining. I have asked XFinity to help me too and they told me I could check my IP both in my computer which I did and ALSO online even through Google which I did. The Google search stated I was as I've been indicating this whole time an Xfinity customer. I have made edits on Wiki for a long time, I am obviously no threat, this is absurd. I also donate $100 a year to Wiki. I am obviously a benign influence.

This sudden blocking after years of supporting Wiki is unfair and poorly executed. I am very upset about this. Please review.
I also see that you successfully edited after making this request. 331dot (talk) 20:35, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
