Request reason:
It was a long but needed break from the site, but I now want to return and continue contributing. Don't expect me to be as active as I was in the past though.
Accept reason:
I'm having a problem with the IQ heritability wikipedia page that I wish you would help with.
/info/en/?search=Heritability_of_IQ
This guy has been trolling this page for several months. 213.233.150.88. I understand I have given him his first warning and once he gets to four warnings he can be banned.
He keeps citing a 200 dollar textbook for the definition of heritability that is not on the wikipedia page for heritabillity. He cites Alice Marcus and you can see that citation isn't on this page for heritability.
So he is using this citation to edit the conclusions of the actual IQ heritabilities. Its a citation that no one can see, and his edits go completely against the way that the authors of the other citations on the IQ heritability page state their work and against the definitions of heritability from the wikipedia page.
He will state something like "IQ is x for those samples in those examined studies" It is literally a violation of population statistics. Population statistics are not valid for just the sample, it is valid for the population studied. He is literally lying there.
Hes reverted another change of another user as well several times, he keeps saying heritability is an upper bound and you can see on the wikipedia page for heritability that it isn't an upper bound it is simply an estimate. More lies.
His citation that he clings to is above the portions he is editing by several sentences. He posts the Alice Marcus (3) citation and several sentences later he is editing the conclusions of the actual studies on IQ heritability for vague reasons from a source that no one can see.
Citations 7-9 on the IQ heritability page literally state the the heritability of IQ is X. He is deviating from the scientists conclusions for political reasons.

Hello!
The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking to improve the community consultation outreach process for Foundation policies, and we are interested in why you didn't participate in a recent consultation that followed a community discussion you’ve been part of.
Please fill out this short survey to help us improve our community consultation process for the future. It should only take about three minutes.
The privacy policy for this survey is here. This survey is a one-off request from us related to this unique topic.
Thank you for your participation, Kbrown (WMF) 10:44, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!

funplussmart we're beating a dead horse on Seneca Valley. I've requested page protection and reported the vandals. I also pinged an admin to see if I get them to act quick. let's stop reverting them cuz otherwise we'll just make them want to keep it up. Once some admin's can act it should calm.

Thanks. I was going for the IBRL (ignore but revert later). Fortunately i was able to find that thing to id an active admin and was able to get them to protect the page. hopefully that will stop the foolishness. Glad to have worked with you. I thought they had me on the ropes until you stepped in. ToeFungii ( talk) 22:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello! I am not sure if you know this, but in cases where one user has created two or more junk articles (e.g. QueenNoble), you can just make one AfD and then mention both articles in it. It is described at WP:BUNDLE. --- Possibly ☎ 03:28, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness ( MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.
We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah Talk 04:25, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
