Talk:Adragon De Mello

message: SpuriousQ:  I think this text fairly represents the published reports of Adragon's academic experience, without emphasizing the exploitation and emotional abuse he was subjected to:
:Adragon's academic achievements were due to hard work. Despite his father's desire to believe otherwise, Adragon's IQ is somewhat above average, at about the 85th percentile,[ ] which means that the celebrated "boy genius" is not actually a genius according to the most common definitions. Much of his childhood was spent with his father teaching him and pushing him through material, particularly in math and sciences. At one point, Adragon was enrolled in an elementary school for highly gifted students, and he remembers the experience positively. However, his father continued to push him and the school for inappropriately impressive accomplishments, and when further testing revealed that he did not meet their entrance requirements, he was withdrawn.
I think you should read this article before you decide that this text is inappropriately judgmental.  If you still think so, then perhaps you'll note here exactly who you think is being unfairly judged and how. WhatamIdoing 17:29, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: 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) 05:02, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to Intelligence or Genius 

message: This article is supposedly about Adragon De Mello but is, in fact, mostly about his father, Agustin Eastwood De Mello. I think it should be retitled and the opening paragraph rewritten, or edited to actually talk about Adragon De Mello in more than a few brief sentences.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.74.7 (talk) 00:58, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who is the subject of this article? 

message: An IP (likely the same one, as they're all within a small range) has repeatedly removed references to hard work, most recently this:
"His early achievements may have been more due to endless hard work than to inherent intellectual capabilities."
The cited source is:  
I think that this article should explain how he achieved what he did, which was through an extraordinary amount of work.  What do you think? WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:19, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
