I have reverted your addition of the IQ test info to the Canberra article. The article recently became a Featured article and needs to now be held to a higher standard than a normal wikipedia article. I felt your addition did not fit well with wikipedia's policy of Neutral Point of View and would need to be properly attributed and referenced before even considering it to the article. Also I notice you may have accidently created your user page at [[User::PaulWay]] instead of User:PaulWay you should be able to use the move page function to move the page to the correct location. Let me knwo if you have any questions. --Martyman-(talk) 02:37, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi Martyman! I did throw that IQ test in as a minor thing, so I'm not surprised in retrospect that it should not make the grade. I'm not necessarily boasting, as I'm originally a Brisbanite, but I thought it was relevant in the context that the population of the ACT and Canberra has a high proportion of well-trained, well-educated white collar workers. Give me a call or email if you're wanting to talk MythTV!. -- PaulWay-(talk) 10:34PM 29 November 2005 (AEDST)
I agree that it is an interesting statistic and if it could be represented in a more scientific way should be in the article. Unfortunatly I am not sure the test in question was anywhere near scientific enough to make the grade. People also tend to get jumpy when you start making allegations about group IQ levels. ;-) --Martyman-(talk) 11:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
