Any luck on Helmuth Nyborg's research?

last November, [1] you mentioned that you'd try to find a source for the Helmuth Nyborg article at [2]. Did you have any luck? the newsvine article notes that the professor has been sacked, so might not be available. My problem is that the news article is one of the few sources that use IQ as a measure, and it's lack of source makes the Religiosity and intelligence page a bit weak, especially if educational correlates are removed as per recent discussions. I haven't been able to find anything new via google or google scholar, and wondered if you had any luck in DanishWotherspoonSmith (talk) 09:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to be a bother but, no i can't read Danish. I'm now quite curious though- what was the outcome?WotherspoonSmith (talk) 08:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks. This does leave me wondering if the quote should remain in the Religiosity and intelligence article, but I will leave it for a while to see if anything else shows up in the meantime. WotherspoonSmith (talk) 23:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Dark Side of the Moon

Hello, you made an edit to The Dark Side of the Moon to change the number of consecutive weeks that the album was on the Billboard charts, but you did not change the reference to where this information comes from (apparently a blog site called rockandrollreport dot com), which suggests you got this information from the same source as the original edit, but interpreted it differently. I tried to go to the link to see what it says, but could not get through, so this may be a dead link. I'm unsure where to go from here, so I reverted your change for now. If you got your information from a different source, please make the change again, and replace the reference with the source you are using.

Also, I recommend keeping the wording currently used in the article, and just changing the numbers. I found your wording to be a little awkward compared to the original. No offence intended; your rewording uses "Billboard" twice, uses the word "historical" ungramatically, and removes the information that Billboard is a USA chart – which isn't essential, but the result is a longer sentence giving less information. But if you think the sentence does need rewording, and want to try a different way of wording it, go ahead. Thanks. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 14:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Emil

Hey Emil, I am trying to get the well-sourced point that U.S. & U.K. and other countries are IQ meritocracies as per sources like Plomin, Deary, Murray, Jensen etc. in the Heritability and IQ article. Could you assist there? Especially since few editors try to claim that Turkheimer's highly flawed 2003 study is something to draw conclusions from. I would also like the inclusion of Gregory Clark's works in there. I would appreciate if you took a look at the talk page and helped in any way. Thank you.76.66.130.161 (talk) 02:13, 26 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
