Theres a guy that is trying to say that the population statistics on IQ heritability are only valid for sample sizes, how do we get him banned or off the IQ and heritability article?

I'm having a problem with the IQ heritability wikipedia page that I wish you would help with.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ

This guy has been trolling this page for several months. 213.233.150.88. I understand I have given him his first warning and once he gets to four warnings he can be banned.

He keeps citing a 200 dollar textbook for the definition of heritability that is not on the wikipedia page for heritabillity. He cites Alice Marcus and you can see that citation isn't on this page for heritability.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability

So he is using this citation to edit the conclusions of the actual IQ heritabilities. Its a citation that no one can see, and his edits go completely against the way that the authors of the other citations on the IQ heritability page state their work and against the definitions of heritability from the wikipedia page.

He will state something like "IQ is x for those samples in those examined studies" It is literally a violation of population statistics. Population statistics are not valid for just the sample, it is valid for the population studied. He is literally lying there.

Hes reverted another change of another user as well several times, he keeps saying heritability is an upper bound and you can see on the wikipedia page for heritability that it isn't an upper bound it is simply an estimate. More lies.

His citation that he clings to is above the portions he is editing by several sentences. He posts the Alice Marcus (3) citation and several sentences later he is editing the conclusions of the actual studies on IQ heritability for vague reasons from a source that no one can see.

Citations 7-9 on the IQ heritability page literally state the the heritability of IQ is X. He is deviating from the scientists conclusions for political reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.210.51 (talk) 21:56, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
