Hi, I wonder if I may have been speaking to you just a while ago under an I.P. address user name. Welcome aboard Wikipedia. I've compiled some very extensive source lists (which I happen to be updating this weekend), including one on  IQ and human intelligence, and I welcome  your suggestions for that source list or for any source list I maintain. I'm an avid reader with access to some lavish library systems, and I always like hearing reading suggestions from other readers. One interest I particularly have is the education of high-IQ children, an issue my family has been dealing with for generations. I have found to my dismay that much of the literature on gifted education is not at all up to date with the current literature on psychology, and I would like to do my part to fix that problem. It happens that the article IQ reference chart is about to go through a major transformation on the basis of the latest sources, now that I have returned from busyness last week traveling to a conference on gifted education in another state. I look forward to discussing article edits with you on the basis of Wikipedia policy, and especially on the basis of comparing and evaluating the most reliable and current published sources. Most of the articles on Wikipedia still need a lot of updating and improvement of sources, so there is plenty of useful work to do here for people with editorial skill and knowledge of the best sources. Again, welcome! WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 22:13, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Invitation to look at edits on IQ reference chart
I see the article IQ reference chart has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in my user sandbox, I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page.

I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published reliable sources on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a source list on intelligence since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the IQ reference chart article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened discussion on the article's talk page about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in my user sandbox shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:38, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
