[edit] Unmarked Spoilers

This article reveals the ending of the TV series Doogie Houser MD without any warning. Perhaps the article should be revised to be more general about the ending so as to not give it away. -FoxMajik 21:58, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Big deletion

I doing a giant deletion of material from this article. I am deleting the large sections of original research. The article appears to have been tagged for a year now.

Before replacing any deleted material, please write on the importance here of each part being replaced, and make sure that the replaced parts have complete CITATIONS. wes 15:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In Fiction section

I decided not to delete the stuff from the Fiction Section, mostly because it seems "harmless". But it still is written in a form that constitutes original research in nearly every sentence. It should be reorganized to a list of characters/books/movies/whatever, rather than a discussion. Anybody want to do this? wes 16:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] moved fiction section to its own page

I moved fiction section to its own page and reorganized to a list of characters/books/movies/whatever rather than essay style. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HeWasCalledYClept (talk • contribs) 05:23, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] deleted material

[edit] is this a joke?

In most cases (99% or higher) a child prodigy fails to succumb to his/her potential.[citation needed] One of the many issues is that the prodigys are given a false sense that they have no competition. Dr. James L. Himmes said "basically, once a child is told that they are bound for greatness they become lazy as if someone would just hand them [the facebook olympics medal for poking]Italic text." that cant be right someone please fix. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.55.140.206 (talk) 02:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Examples of prodigies

Perhaps it would be a good idea to mention a few generally accepted child prodigies, for example, Mozart? --Muna (talk) 18:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Jackson

I think he qualifies as an actual child prodigy, considering he was the lead singer for the Jackson 5 at a very young age. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.156.231.55 (talk) 14:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
