Bell Curve of Variability hypothesis

Bell curve for males and females appear in a lot of mathematical softwares, even excel or online with wolfram alpha if you put mean number and standard deviations numbers of Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Source of Mean and SD is ASVAB! Espíritu nocturno (talk) 18:36, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Source of mean and SD of ASVAB published in Deary IJ, Irwing P, Der G & Bates TC (2005). Brother–sister differences in the g factor in intelligence: Analysis of full, opposite-sex siblings from the NLSY1979. Intelligence 35:451-456 Espíritu nocturno (talk) 18:52, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

What is the source that the normal approximation is good here? Of course it is often standard to use a normal distribution to model this type of data, but it shouldn't be presented as a "plot of the data," especially without a source. CapitalSasha ~ talk 04:36, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

You need to see the general score in the paper (Bates 2005 p 453) and there clearly appear numbers for the mean and SD for females and males in ASVAB-g^c. Espíritu nocturno (talk) 06:33, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

But just because you know the mean and standard deviation of a distribution doesn't mean you know that it's normal! CapitalSasha ~ talk 06:47, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

Can we continue this conversation on Talk:Variability hypothesis so that others can chime in? CapitalSasha ~ talk 06:48, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.14 21 October 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello CapitalSasha/2018, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal

• There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
• Please join the conversation as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!

Project updates

• ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
• There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

New scripts

• User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js^(info) — A new script created for quickly placing {{copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

Go here to remove your name if you wish to opt-out of future mailings. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 20:49, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
