Notice of pending revert
On The American descendants of slavery  Page you deleted information because you claim it to be a  unreliable source without explanation. Could you elaborate on this assumption. The source was the New York Times. Failure to explain your assumptions here or on the American descendants of slavery talk page could lead to reverting your edit.

 * A Twitter post is not The New York Times. At best it would be usable for the attributes opinion of its author. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 12:38, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Lindsay, Rufo, critical this and that
This quote from Christopher Rufo reminds me of an item you brought to my attention back in February. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 02:53, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Race and intelligence FAQ

 * Care explaining your reverts? The current version if not straight-up advocates then at least hints at the fringe view that IQ is not a valid measure of any aspect of intelligence. As explained by one of the sources in the FAQ published by, quote, "A group of prominent geneticists", "Critics often assert that it is an oversimplified metric applied to a far-too-complex set of behaviours, that the cultural-specificity of tests renders them useless, or that IQ tests really only measure how good people are at doing IQ tests. Although an IQ score is far from a perfect measure, it does an excellent job of correlating with, and predicting, many educational, occupational, and health-related outcomes. IQ does not tell us everything that anyone could want to know about human intelligence – but because definitions of “intelligence” vary so widely, no measure could possibly meet that challenge." My version is more reflective of the description provided in the source.
 * All this aside, I think it would be helpful for you to at least add a short edsum explaining your motivations when undoing work that other editors' time and effort has gone into ─ especially on a topic as contentious as this one. Maxipups Mamsipupsovich (talk) 02:03, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
