Thanks for being a vandal fighter.--I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a ((Talkback)) message on my talk page. @ 03:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Greetings,
[IQ difference between Blacks and Whites] are as large today as they were when first measured nearly 100 years ago. They, and the concomitant difference in standard of living, level of education, and related phenomena, lie in factors that are largely heritable, not cultural. The IQ differences are attributable to differences in brain size more than to racism, stereotype threat, item selection on tests, and all the other suggestions given by the commentators. It is time to meet reality. It is time to stop committing the "moralistic fallacy" that good science must conform to approved outcomes.
— Rushton & Jensen, 2005 (link)
racism: the belief that culture is inherited. That is, it is a belief that groups of people behave in distinctive ways not because they have learned to do so, but because their members share some inherited essence (called "blood"; or sometimes "genes"--but without reference to specific DNA sequences).

Hi DavidLeighEllis,
Thanks for your help on Khaled Hosseini. I tried to revert the vandalism but for some reason it did not go away. Thanks for catching it!

David, I have a file with the perspective correction all done. Could you enable email in your WP account so I can talk to you about something privately? --WingtipvorteX PTT ∅ 03:07, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

For your persistence at FPC. Your most recent nomination almost passed! You might re-nominate that one, and also nominate it at Commons FPC. Pine✉ 19:34, 2 June 2013 (UTC) |
Hi DavidLeighEllis/TalkPageArchiveOne. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! -- Mentifisto 00:21, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. I also see you've recently gotten rollback rights. Welcome to the rollback team! - Amaury (talk) 00:18, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi DavidLeighEllis, please strike the template you placed on my talk page. I was not engaged in an edit war and by no means violated 3RR as you will see when you read WP:3RRNO. Thank you. I fell for a troll's trick --I am One of Many (talk) 17:34, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, David. I removed your request and the reply on WP:RFPP, not because there was anything wrong with either of them, but per WP:Deny. It's only a sock of a well-known indefblocked troll, so I figured we needn't give him the satisfaction of seeing his latest oh-so-funny sock name in a header. Hope you don't mind. The talkpage problem is resolved. Bishonen | talk 20:29, 12 June 2013 (UTC).
Hi, I note your edit here [2] is marked as 'minor'. Please have a look here: [3] where the policy is explained. Friendly regards, Springnuts (talk) 18:08, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
I think this IP may be feeling understandably upset although I don't think he/she understands everything about how we work on Wikipedia. If you look at the IP's first edit, I don't think it was vandalism and I think the first warning by Mattythewhite was wrong or at least less precise than it should be. The IP's edits that falsified the note on the talk page were inappropriate, but leaving a general warning about vandalism is much less informative than a specific warning about editing another user's signed comment. I would tell all of this this to the IP myself but I think you should since he/she asked you on your talk page. Would you be willing to talk more specifically on the IP's talk page about Mattythewhite's warning (which I think was in error and I hope you agree) and about properly sourcing additions to articles and not editing other uses' signed comments? I've also left a note on Mattythewhite's talk page. Thanks, --Pine✉ 07:03, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
I left a source? :s — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.30.71.10 (talk) 22:50, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
Even though it should have notified you, I guess I'll leave this here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/User_names#Ansh666. I can say that I don't believe it falls afoul of any policy, but I'll skip the "discuss with the user" part and go straight to the community. Thanks, Ansh666 06:19, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
