Fixes[edit]

Ok, so I tried to fix the grammar mistakes. Meh. I tried. I don't think any of this is actually true information but I can't be bothered enough to check. 76.248.172.238 (talk) 07:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can this page even be fixed anymore? This is horrible. 76.248.172.238 (talk) 07:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect[edit]

Since Rosner is most famous for his appearance on the Domino's commercial and his name is misspelled there, is a redirect page at the misspelled version warranted? --Theodore Kloba (talk) 00:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we need to make a redirect page now. I would, but I am an IP. I do have an acount though, it's just I cannot access it at this point in time, so I am stuck with a Crappy IP Address. 206.75.167.246 (talk) 00:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Complete —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross Feldman (talk • contribs) 21:00, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Boulder[edit]

In the movie that's linked to in the footnotes, it says he went to Boulder High School in Boulder, Colorado. Why does it say he's from Albuquerque then?--97.118.82.116 (talk) 07:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sad[edit]

It's sad that older versions of this article contained more copious, pertinent, and accurate information than recent versions.

Most of the information culled from documentaries and other valid sources was removed and replaced by embellished stories based on a 30 second pizza commercial that couldn't even spell Rick's last name correctly.

The people who pared the article down to less than 350 words because they thought it was unverifiable were apparently incapable of reading the 43 entries that are still in the References section. This is evidenced by the fact that only accurate information was deleted, but not the footnotes which verify the information.

The words "unverified" and "claims to" were added in places they shouldn't have been.

In the Errol Morris documentary Rick refers to seeing "another Jewish guy with a goatee", and meeting his wife by joining "a Jewish singles group" but someone removed a link to the 'Jewish Americans' list because there's `no proof that Rosner is Jewish`. Really? No proof anywhere in the entire universe?

Newer versions of the article said that Rick's score of 44 on the Mega Test was the second highest ever, but that score was tied by several others including John Sununu. Three people scored 45 including Steve Schuessler. Three people scored 46 including Marilyn vos Savant. Several others, including Chris Langan, retook the Mega Test and scored 47 before Rick did. So in no way did Rick get the second highest score ever on that test.

Rick actually did get a perfect score on the Titan Test. This was the highest score ever achieved on a well normed test of general intelligence. It's the thing that Rick is (or should be) most notable for, but someone removed that fact from the article.

Newer versions of the article said that Rick claims to have an IQ of 200. Rick has never made that claim. It comes directly from the pizza commercial caption that also misspelled his name.

I could fix all of the damage, but why should I bother shoring up a beautiful sandcastle against an incoming tide of bad edits? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.123.4.230 (talk) 00:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's just systemic bias stemming from the nature of Wikipedia. You at least made the talk page very informative and I'm sure nobody will edit your post which I have found very helpful and so will other curious/creative readers. 76.4.143.13 (talk) 06:23, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

and maybe his perfect score on the Titan test might be one day achieved by a perfectionist (afterall, he took the mega before the titan so he had more motivation for the titan than someone who is just 25 yo and the mega test is already spoiled) but either way, that test doesn't measure your intelligence--it makes you intelligent! You feel smarter after you are done with it--you feel invincible if you sit on a possibly perfect test and don't submit it and only Siyang believes ya! Yes I know this post is lame but I'm mailing the first part of that test to Ron some time this month and will give the members a tease or something to write about in the noesis :p 76.4.143.13 (talk) 06:30, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jeez - this encyc entry must hold some kind of record for most use of the word "claims." If I merely claim to be able to bend steel with my mind, would that be allowed in my Wiki article? TruthGal (talk) 23:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who wrote this absolute rubbish? Dead reference links, claim after unverified claim, why is this article even on Wikipedia given that most of its statements are totally unsupported?184.75.209.122 (talk) 07:15, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rick Rosner in common with...[edit]

My name is Stephan Brissman(Swed)and I have an IQ of 198 in common with Rick. I just have to say it is impossible to try to explain an IQ on that level. I have tried just to say to people that I have 198 IQ but its useless and not grasped at all. And this make me sick to the extent of scizofrenia. If you are in the same situation take medication.Sbrissman (talk) 21:33, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move/Disambiguation[edit]

Per WP:BB, I just moved this article and created a disambiguation page for all people named Richard Rosner (disambiguation). There are two TV writer/producers named Rick Rosner. Based on rankings at IMDb, Wikipedia links to existing articles, and news archives, I believe the older Rick Rosner, creator of CHiPs and a recent satellite TV, is probably slightly more notable. I considered parentheticals like Rick Rosner (producer) and Rick Rosner (writer), but there was not any easy and clear way to distinguish the two. Since the younger one is occasionally credited as Richard Rosner, I moved him. The older one is always Rick. We could put the younger writer at Richard Rosner, though there is a well-known psychiatrist by that name who I put at Richard Rosner (psychiatrist). I am open to any suggestions. Jokestress (talk) 07:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have also converted all the footnotes to inline refs. Some of them might be OK to remove, as some sentences have a half dozen footnotes now. Still lots to do, but this is a little better. Jokestress (talk) 07:25, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Intelligence citations bibliography for updating this and other articles[edit]

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, how I edit) 00:35, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
