Edit warring at Race and intelligence
Hello Ramdrake. Please see the complaint about your edits at WP:AN3. You may respond there if you wish. Since you've gone over 3RR you should promise to stop warring on this article. The IP has already been blocked by another admin, but it leaves open the question of why you were not blocked as well. EdJohnston (talk) 02:58, 24 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I had already decided to stop reverting, so no worries about that.--Ramdrake (talk) 04:40, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

You're invited!
Hello, Ramdrake,

You are invited meet with your fellow Wikipedians by attending the Montréal meetup scheduled on Sunday, June 27, 2010; between 1500 - 1700 to be held at the Comité Social Centre Sud (CSCS), located at 1710 Beaudry, in Montréal. You can sign up at the meetup page.

You do not need to attend the conference to sign up for the Wikimeetup, but you are certainly welcome! Bastique ☎ call me!

Le Québec est une nation...version anglaise.
Salut,

Je suis toujours pas d'accord avec la version anglaise de québec... Si tu pouvais m'aider...--Mobifr (talk) 15:26, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

R & I Evidence
You wrote "Few of those who do not subscribe to the hypothesis don't even bother to write on the subject. The few that do bother to do so usually write analyses which demonstrate that the hypothesis is based on numerous flaws. Nevertheless these editors seem intent on writing the article as if both hypotheses were basically on equal footing."

I think you mean "even" instead of "don't even" in the first sentence. I can't speak for everyone, but I am almost certain that editors like me do not think that both hypotheses are on "equal footing." Instead, environmentalism is the predominant position among academics. Hereditarianism is a minority view. But we strongly believe that it is not WP:FRINGE.

Otherwise, I think this is a fair summary of the dispute. David.Kane (talk) 08:03, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind removing your vote until I have fleshed out my proposal?
A nice demonstration of good faith. . . David.Kane (talk) 14:12, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't mind removing it, but I see 1)you seem to have already fleshed out your proposal and 2)somebody else already expressed opposition to it besides myself.--Ramdrake (talk) 14:20, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I have made the same request to him. David.Kane (talk) 14:21, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I am now done. If you could expand your opposed vote to address my questions, I would appreciate it. David.Kane (talk) 14:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Gave full reasons on the proposal page. I hope my explanations are clear enough, even though by the very nature of the objection, I can't be more specific (ain't got no crystal ball!). Regards --Ramdrake (talk) 17:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

It's good to see you editing Race and intelligence again.
Right now while several I.P. editors are surfing by, it's good to have your eyes on the Race and intelligence article as the ArbCom case winds down. I look forward to digging into the sources with you to make sure that the article text reflects reliable sources well. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 15:56, 16 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I see the ArbCom case is proceeding and there may soon be clarity about where and how to edit articles on related topics. Keep up the good work till then, and, well, count on the admirals to soon be encouraged. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 16:16, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
