Malcom Gladwell, Anders Ericsson

I removed the paragraph on Malcom Gladwell and Anders Ericsson after reviewing their work. Their popular writing is about mastery and success, not psychometrics and IQ testing. The subheader is about genius, psychometrics, IQ testing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bhalluka (talkcontribs) 07:13, 16 December 2012 (UTC) --- Bhalluka (talk) 07:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No references to Simonton's work?

I see three of Dean Keith Simonton's books about genius in the bibliography for this article, but no uptake of his extensive research on genius at all in the article text. Reading Simonton's books will be a good place to start for future revisions of this article. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 01:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Useful references for this Genius article

You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in these issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by suggesting new sources through comments on that page. It will be extremely helpful for articles on human intelligence to edit them according to the Wikipedia standards for reliable sources for medicine-related articles, as it is important to get these issues as well verified as possible. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 19:50, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
