User talk:Fixentries

Do I know you from somewhere? It's been a while - I took a wikibreak - but you remind me awfully of an old friend who also was passionate about race and intelligence. Am I wrong? Moreschi (talk) 00:52, 12 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Doesn't sound like me. Why do you think I'm passionate about it?  It seems like kind of an uncharitable topic to me actually.  I'm more concerned with whatever the truth might be, on any topic.  Nice to meet you though and happy editing.  Fixentries (talk) 01:03, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

A proposal for the Race and intelligence article
I’m posting this comment on several users’ talk pages, because I’d like all of you to give me your input about a large change I’m considering making to the race and intelligence article. In my opinion, the article in its current state has a lot of issues. Fixing them has also proven to be next to impossible, partly because new changes have been made more quickly than it’s been possible to build consensus to undo changes that had been made previously.

I’m also of the opinion that the article as it existed in December of 2006 was considerably more informative, more balanced, and better-written than its current version. What I’m proposing is that rather than continuing to try and improve the article one part at a time, I would like to revert the article to the state that it had in 2006, while updating the things that need to be updated after three years.

The current discussion about this has been on my user talk page, towards the bottom of it. I would appreciate any of you reading the discussion about this idea, and letting me know there what you think of it. I’d like to be supported by the consensus of as many editors as possible before I attempt this. --Captain Occam (talk) 15:14, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Deleted image
Unfortunately, images from the Digitized Sky Survey (such as your upload File:284892main image 1209 946-710.jpg ) are not usable on Wikipedia, due to unclear licensing status. All DSS images are copyrighted, and were thus deleted from Commons commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/All_DSS2_Images_from_wikisky. (I know, it's rather annoying) —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 21:52, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
