Arbitration Ruling on Race and Intelligence

The article Henry H. Goddard, along with other articles relating to the area of conflict (namely, the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour, broadly construed), is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, described in a 2010 Arbitration Committee case where the articulated principles included:

Pillars: Wikipedia articles must be neutral, verifiable and must not contain original research. Those founding principles (the Pillars) are not negotiable and cannot be overruled, even when apparent consensus to do so exists.
Original research: Wikipedia defines "original research" as "facts, allegations, ideas, and stories not already published by reliable sources". In particular, analyses or conclusions not already published in reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy are not appropriate for inclusion in articles.
Correct use of sources: Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources. Primary sources are permitted if used carefully. All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than to original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors.
Advocacy: Wikipedia strives towards a neutral point of view. Accordingly, it is not the appropriate venue for advocacy or for advancing a specific point of view. While coverage of all significant points of view is a necessary part of balancing an article, striving to give exposure to minority viewpoints that are not significantly expressed in reliable secondary sources is not.
Single purpose accounts: Single purpose accounts are expected to contribute neutrally instead of following their own agenda and, in particular, should take care to avoid creating the impression that their focus on one topic is non-neutral, which could strongly suggest that their editing is not compatible with the goals of this project.
Decorum: Wikipedia users are expected to behave reasonably, calmly, and courteously in their interactions with other users; to approach even difficult situations in a dignified fashion and with a constructive and collaborative outlook; and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute. Unseemly conduct, such as personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, harassment, or disruptive point-making, is prohibited.
Tag-team editing: Tag teams work in unison to push a particular point of view. Tag-team editing – to thwart core policies (neutral point of view, verifiability, and no original research); or to evade procedural restrictions such as the three revert rule or to violate behavioural norms by edit warring; or to attempt to exert ownership over articles; or otherwise to prevent consensus prevailing – is prohibited.

If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the above guidelines. You may also wish to review the full arbitration case page. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first.

comment

I just added some information to this entry but did it before creating a Wikipedia account. I don't remember where I got all the data but it's part of a lecture I do on scientific racism and I try to be very careful about checking my sources.

Looks good to me. Thanks. --Fastfission 20:54, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to include my name here, but I'm new, and I'm not a registered user. However, I've noticed that http://www.spock.com/Henry-H.-Goddard has text identical to that of Wikipedia's. In addition, this article needs much more sources, as I find this information difficult to verify.

Perhaps the most random thing, though, is the fact that it is on Wikipedia's projects of "College Football". I was quite certain that Mr. Goddard was a eugenicist, not a football player. This may be an error, or vandalism, but I am not certain. Again, I am new, and you'll need to investigate this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.134.140.119 (talk) 10:01, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed the article says that Goddard's 1910 classification "moron, imbecle, idiot" was based on IQ test scores; however, "IQ" wasn't coined, and the test results weren't presented on that scale, until 1912 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Stern_%28psychologist%29). Can somebody revise this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.87.93.73 (talk) 05:49, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to Human Intelligence

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) 02:26, 16 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Don't understand the following excerpt from the article

> He was constantly perplexed by the fact that later polemicists claimed that his studies were dangerous to society despite presenting immigrant groups as immoral and less intelligent by falsely claiming the sample was "representative of their respective groups" whilst advocating removal of such people from society

I don't understand what this is saying. --Svennik (talk) 12:14, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Year of death

At the start of the article, it says 1957. At the end, it says 1947, and that he died at age 90, which is incompatible with the claimed year of birth. Which is it? --Svennik (talk) 12:20, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
