Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/How Much Can We Boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement?

Meatpuppetry confirmed?
Since the AfD is on hold pending a close, I will drop a comment here. It seems that by this comment by Captain Occam, namely "and who was enlisted to help us with the race and intelligence article because it was tagged as needing attention from an expert", that meatpuppetry and off-site votestacking is going on here.

 * The article was tagged (not by Occam) as needing the participation of an expert. When that happens, it is desirable, you know, to go find an expert and to to convince him to participate. Indeed, you should do the same! Please find some experts on Jensen's work and convince them to participate on Wikipedia. Doing so is not meatpuppetry. David.Kane (talk) 18:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Finding experts is fine. Looking up a buddy in realspace to some here and provide "expert opinion" ?  Not so much. Tarc (talk) 18:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Bpesta22 is not a "buddy". When I invited him to become involved in the article, I had only first encountered him a few days earlier when he was commenting on someone else's blog at the same time that I was commenting on it.  I didn't even know what his viewpoints about this topic were at that point.  All I knew was that he was a cognitive psychologist, since he'd mentioned this in one of his blog comments, which made him a good candidate for someone who would satisfy the article's need for an expert.


 * I'm sorry for trying to provide services for these articles that they're specifically tagged as needing. (That was sarcasm, in case it isn't obvious.) --Captain Occam (talk) 23:31, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Here is the comment I was about to add:


 * There is a group of WP:SPAs voting keep - Captain Occam, Varoon Arya, Mikemikev, Distributivejustice, David.Kane, Bpesta22. They work only or primarily on race-related articles. Muntuwandi is not an WP:SPA, but I believe he is African and is a long time editor of wikipedia. Otherwise, I recognize all those voting delete, and they are distinct and quite well known editors on wikipedia. Claritas suggested this AfD on my talk page. Claritas should give a complete explanation of whom he/she thinks are (a) meatpuppets (b) sockpuppets (c) SPAs. WP:SPI is thataway --> Mathsci (talk) 17:29, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Claritas has been editing wikipedia since April 18 and I'm afraid, having started immediately as a recent changes patroller, has madeseveral edits on or connected with this AfD that are totally clueless. Mathsci (talk) 17:50, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

 * If you have evidence of puppetry, then you should provide it. Otherwise, you should not make baseless accusations. David.Kane (talk) 18:04, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Just as a matter of interest, have you ever heard of WP:ANI? Mathsci (talk) 19:50, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Please see Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/History of the race and intelligence controversy. You might wish to comment there. I was careful to describe your edits rather than you, which is normal wikipedia policy. Sorry that you have landed in a bit of deep water. Mathsci (talk) 20:32, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
