Behavioral Genetics Discussion

Hi zz. Thanks for your work on Behavior Genetics. Couple of thoughts: I am not sure that adding in a reference to Hitler in one of the first paragraphs has much to do with BG: Shall we do that on anti-smoking page, or vegetarianism? Or add to the chemistry page that Hitler was inspired by chemistry to fund the development of poison gas? Second, the undergrad text you are citing in several places doesn't let people verfiy the claims: I have never heard that Hitler was inspired by Galton, or even that he knew he existed. If he did, it seems like something for the Hitler page, or perhaps eugenics, but not Behavior Genetics? Your thoughts welcomed.

Hi. Well when I first read the page I noticed that Galton had been mentioned and in my studies Galton is often synonymous with eugenics. That said, Hitler was absolutely influenced by Galton and I believe that was where I first cited the book. Unfortunately, I just started editing so I'm not sure how to make my resource more available but my source directly links Galton to Hitler. I justify putting Hitler on the B.G. page for several reasons. One, B.G. came out of eugenic,s namely the theory that genes could control behavior and that if we could control genes that we could improve humanity. Hitler took that concept to the extreme but, he is also one of the only people to "practice" eugenics on a large scale. My second justification for Hitler is that Galton was mentioned and Hitler was strongly influenced by Galton. Finally, I only mention Hitler for a sentence so I don't think he really has a LARGE impact on the article. I would like to see the history section expanded past WWII. That is one of the reasons I posted the bounty. I strongly believe that if this article is going to become featured then the history section needs to be expanded but Hitler is a part of the history of B.G. I would also support placing Hitler in the eugenics page.

I know that I can't cite wikipedia, but if you do the google search "Hitler and Galton" the first hit is the wikipedia page on eugenics.

Restore article

Hi, it appears you have deleted an original article Snow Kid in favor or a much newer entry Snowkid. Can you help restore the old article as a merge, so the contents can be put back or re-redirect again? Benjwong (talk) 11:16, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Actually I made an undeletion entry at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion#Snow Kid. Maybe that will restore it. Benjwong (talk) 11:26, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: House clearance

Hello Zzaffuto118. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of House clearance, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 13:03, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
