[edit]

I removed the claim that this is original research. At best, my references are TERTIARY sources.

  • The reference from the Marland Report is a massive government project involving many states and hundreds of testimonies.
  • The Social and Emotional Development of Gifted Children is an edited combination of many other previous (primary) articles.
  • The Kaskaloglu meta-analysis is, well, a meta-analysis, which means it ALREADY looked over many other prior research studies, therefore making it secondary.

Also, primary research is defined in wikipedia has having unreferences sources. All the sources are referenced.

I have restored the Original Research tag because of statements such as: "One would expect a very small percentage of such children to drop out, given the ease with which they can excel in school." Do the references directly support the information as it is presented? You may benefit from perusing WP:CIVIL. Lame Name (talk) 20:41, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited the talk to be more civil. Now I understand the tag. A to-do for myself will be to re-read the source for a better quote my statement which you reference. Loraxofgifted (talk) 20:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

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 those 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. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 00:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This should be merged into Intellectual giftedness article.

[edit]

This is at best a subsection that belongs as part of the Intellectual giftedness article, so I propose that the content here, insofar as it is adequately sourced, be merged into that article. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 02:05, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Good arguments! Lova Falk talk 10:01, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
