List of child prodigies

Considering that the purpose of the list article is to list notable people who were child prodigies and describe how they were prodigies, their career accomplishments really don't seem germane. I can understand something like a short "X grew to be an accomplished mathematician and Fields medalist", as that is conceivably relevant to being a child prodigy, but listing their accomplishments in adulthood (even their most notable ones) is probably not interesting to most readers who've come to see child prodigies (and not ex-prodigies). Dreykop (talk) 00:12, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

I disagree. People are likely curious about anything notable these individuals might have done after reaching adulthood. As long as everything is sourced and concise, there is no need to worry. Nerd271 (talk) 01:11, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
But what does that have to do with child prodigies? It may be interesting in general and sourced, but it also must be relevant. How is getting into specifics like "he is now a computer scientist at MIT" or "he is an expert in elliptic curves" directly related to being an ex-prodigy?

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:52, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

@David Eppstein: Please refrain from edit-warring and threatening other editors. It was just a disagreement. Frankly, I do not appreciate you using all caps and acting in this manner. Nerd271 (talk) 01:56, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
If you do not appreciate being told that your edits are unhelpful, you might consider not making unhelpful edits. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:22, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
It is not a problem that you disagree with me. Your attitude towards someone else who happens to have a different opinion is the issue. Nerd271 (talk) 02:24, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
I am also pretty confused how to handle interactions like these, if you don't mind a stray observer chiming in.
