484:, 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.

and this could reflect particulars of their education, intelligence, or breadth of interests. Furthermore, general knowledge, as indicated by the current article, has been the subject of detailed academic investigation, whereas it is not clear that this is the case for "common knowledge". Therefore, merging the two articles would seem to serve no purpose and would be misleading.--

Consequently, no section on sex (gender) differences is better than this poor section. Please discuss on Talk page before reverting. Thank you. 435:

This is quite distinct from general knowledge as defined here, which involves substantial individual differences in how much

I believe that this is an excellent start, and meets most of the GA criteria, however, because the article is not very accessible, I believe that the article, as it stands right now, is probably C-class material (since "accessibility" is a specific criterion in B-class). My recommendation is for the

I had a mind to propose this for deletion, then gave some thought to how to that might play out. Nevertheless, it would seem sensible for a document on general knowledge, under construction, to omit an article on that topic. ~
