I made this change you see below:
The following ranges, based on Standard Scores of intelligence tests, reflect the categories of the American Association of Mental Retardation, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV-TR, and the International Classification of Diseases-10: (I wrote this part as the previous author stated the following categories were not used any more. I wanted to point out that they are still used and still listed in the DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10)
Class IQ Profound mental retardation Below 20 Severe mental retardation 20–34 Moderate mental retardation 35–49 Mild mental retardation 50–69 Borderline intellectual functioning 70–79 (I changed Borderline mental retardation, which is not a real category to borderline intellectual functioning, which is the proper name in the DSM-IV-TR)
Since the diagnosis is not based only on IQ scores, but must also take into consideration the person's adaptive functioning, the diagnosis is not made rigidly. It encompasses intellectual scores, adaptive functioning scores from an adaptive behavior rating scale based on descriptions of known abilities provided by someone familiar with the person, and also the observations of the assessment examiner who is able to find out directly from the person what he or she can understand, communicate, and the like.
(I wrote the last paragraph too, to make it clear what constitutes the diagnosis of MR. I am Daniel Vogel, a licensed psychologist whose website is at www.vogelpsychological.com. I don't know what else can make my contributions more "official" as I am relatively new to Wikipedia but I work with this population a lot and also teach psychological assessment at Argosy University, Chicago. If you want a reference for my last paragraph, a good one is Mental Retardation: An Introduction to Intellectual Disability by Mary Beirne-Smith, James M. Patton, and Shannon H. Kim. (2005) Prentice-Hall.)
Speedy deletion nomination of Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities[edit]
A tag has been placed on Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Drmies (talk) 14:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
I have not completed the entry but what I included thus far surely is sufficient for a brief introduction, as the topic is a test that reflects the Cattell-Horn-Carol theory of intelligence. It has done so for many years prior to the publication of newer editions of tests that are also scrambling to get up to date on this model (for example, the brand new WAIS-IV). This test is widely used by clinical and school psychologists for its contribution to CHC theory as a measurement instrument. I am not interested in writing this article merely to promote a product but to contribute to an understanding of test measurement. I have done a good enough introduction for now, and the article awaits more detail. Is that acceptable as a brief descriptive entry (there was no entry on this test yet at all, despite its popularity and originality) or should I only add the article when it is fully written?
- I placed a speedy template on the article (which has been removed by an administrator) since it seemed to mainly promote the book that it came in and its authors. I don't mind it not being deleted, and I saw (later) there are some significant hits in Google Scholar--but I do believe this article needs some revisions. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 17:18, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Bugskull (band)[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Bugskull (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Logan Talk Contributions 21:24, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mattythewhite. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Harry Kane, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 22:41, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Raheem Sterling, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:08, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Please unblock me from editing on Wiki[edit]
Dannyvocal (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 185.141.119.81. I am not a web host. I am a resident in Chicago whose web account is purchased monthly through XFinity, which would be my server. I do not own my own server. I have edited on and off for Wiki for years. Thank you for looking into this. Dannyvocal (talk) 00:16, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
That IP address is registered to HostRoyale. I don't see how you can argue that "HostRoyale" is not a web hosting service. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Please unblock me[edit]

Request reason:
NinjaRobotPirate I see the problem. You are claiming I have an IP address I don't have. I just checked my own computer's Internet Settings and the IP address there is not the one you are claiming I have. You are using the wrong number. I have nothing to do with the Host you are claiming. I pay XFinity for my internet service. They are the ones who gave me my IP address and it is not the one you are claiming I have. Please unblock me.
Decline reason:
You were the one who gave the IP address, not NinjaRobotPirate. I have verified the IP address you gave is used by Surfshark VPN. You need to disable your VPN and wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear. Yamla (talk) 16:46, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

The IP that was used was the number that originated from clicking a link in Wiki that claimed to find my IP. However, that number was not my IP. When I go to WhatIsMyIP.com it says that my IP is with Comcast, which is XFinity, not at all the one that NinjaRobotPirate maintained. You are not finding my IP correctly. Even this reply is saying something about SurfShark. I am a customer of XFinity/Comcast, not of any of the other hosts you are maintaining. I have asked XFinity to help me too and they told me I could check my IP both in my computer which I did and ALSO online even through Google which I did. The Google search stated I was as I've been indicating this whole time an Xfinity customer. I have made edits on Wiki for a long time, I am obviously no threat, this is absurd. I also donate $100 a year to Wiki. I am obviously a benign influence.
This sudden blocking after years of supporting Wiki is unfair and poorly executed. I am very upset about this. Please review.[edit]

Request reason:
Your reason here Dannyvocal (talk) 17:17, 7 February 2023 (UTC)I have asked Xfinity my host or internet provider to help me. They have shown me how to find my IP in my computer and also to do a search on the internet for my IP. None of the hosts that two of you now have allegedly found, one called Host Royale and another I think called Surf Sharking come up when I enter this search. Everytime I enter the search it says my host is Comcast, which is the company I pay each month for internet, not the ones you are mentioning. (Xfinity is the same company as Comcast). This is not at all fair. I feel like I am being ganged upon by incompetents. Surely there must be a better way to maintain safety of Wiki? I have made edits on wiki for a very long time, I am hardly a threat, that must be obvious. I also donate $100 a year to Wiki, hardly the act of someone who is a threat. This must be looked into by someone perhaps a little higher up in the chain here? Dannyvocal (talk) 17:17, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
As an editor, I thank you for donating- but those are collected by the Wikimedia Foundation and we editors have nothing to do with the process, and donations are not tied to accounts(we only have your word that you donated, which I believe, just saying). Calling us incompetents isn't really a good strategy. It's not about you personally being a threat, but it is generally not permitted to use a VPN to make edits, as they are used by vandals and spammers to evade detection and blocking. If you have turned your VPN off, or you don't have one, try clearing your browser cache and waiting 24 hours before editing. If that doesn't help, try requesting an IP block exemption from a checkuser per the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY. If that's declined, there is nothing more we can do for you. 331dot (talk) 20:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

I also see that you successfully edited after making this request. 331dot (talk) 20:35, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
