Here is the subpage for your kind suggestions about the Intelligence Citations bibliography. Thanks for sharing. Feel free to tell me about references you know about. Also feel free to tell me about typos or other issues with the references shown in the section above. I will be updating continually, and will try to add as much bibliographic information to each entry, and as many new entries, as I can.
Intelligence and Giftedness by Miles D. Storfer, Ph.D.; 636 pp.; publ. Josey-Bass, San Francisco, 1990. Subtitle: The Contributions of Heredity and Early Environment. Contains a 71 page bibliography which alone is worth the price of admission. Megapod ( talk) 15:44, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

On page 18 of the bulletin by Deborah Ruf linked to above it states that in the US there are 933 people with IQs above 160. This is low by a factor of ten. Canon ( talk) 23:41, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
It would be easier if the titles of the works were only hyperlinked if the article/book is freely-accessible. This is standard practice in Wikipedia. Also, what is your organization standard for multiple works by the same author? It seems easier to look through if they go by date in some manner (I prefer earliest to most recent), but I'm not clear about how you're currently doing it. II | ( t - c) 18:14, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
As long as we're making a list like this, I have a few suggestions for it. I may add more to this list if I think of others.
Chronological order (?)
Eysenck, H. J. (1971) The I.Q. Argument. Summarizes the Jensen controversy, recommended as background reading in: The Relevance of Race Research, Thomas R. Ireland, Ethics, Vol. 84, No. 2 (Jan., 1974), pp. 140-145. Should note Eysenck does correlate race and IQ and was a former professor of Rushton's. (/pjv)
Jensen, A.R. (1973). Educability and Group Differences. This book, in which Jensen formally presents the hereditarian hypothesis about race and intelligence as a scientific theory, has now reached the level of a citation classic. Books which have become citation classics probably deserve to be included here.
Loehlin, J.C. (1975). Race Differences in Intelligence. I don’t know very much about this book, but David.Kane has highly recommended it. Based on what he’s said, it seems to be a fairly neutral and reliable presentation of the controversy about this topic.
Jensen, A.R. (1980). Bias in Mental Testing. Another citation classic from Jensen, in which Jensen argues that IQ tests are an accurate measure of mental ability, rather than underestimating the ability of groups that score below-average.
Flynn, James R. (1980). Race, IQ and Jensen. One of the best critical analyses of Jensen’s research about race and IQ, in my opinion, even if it’s slightly dated.
Sohan and Celia Modgil (1987). Arthur Jensen: Consensus and Controversy. Based on what I’ve read about this book, it seems to be a good selection of commentaries on Jensen’s work, from scholars who both agree and disagree with him. I don’t actually own a copy of it because of how expensive it is, but if anyone else can find one I think it would be really useful here.
Snyderman and Rothman (1988). The IQ Controversy, the Media and Public Policy. In addition to presenting the nature of the controversy on this topic, this book presents data about the views of researchers about it, based on a study published (by the same authors) the previous year.
Murray and Herrnstein (1994). The Bell Curve. Since this is probably the most famous book ever written related to race and intelligence, it seems like our list ought to include it.
Wigdor and Garner (1982). Ability Testing: Uses, Consequences, and Controversies (Part 1, and possibly part 2 also). This is a monograph published by the National Academy of Sciences assessing all aspects of the controversies regarding IQ testing. Among other topics, they address the question of whether IQ tests are culturally biased against minorities, and reach a conclusion about this similar to the one reached by Jensen (1980).
Linda Gottfredson (1997). Mainstream Science on Intelligence. Intelligence 24(1) 13-23. This is an editorial signed by 52 intelligence researchers about the current state of intelligence research. It started out as a 1994 editorial in The Wall Street Journal, but three years later it was republished in expanded form in the peer-reviewed journal Intelligence. (Obviously the peer-reviewed version is what Wikipeda would cite.) In terms of the conclusions it states, it’s pretty similar to the APA report Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns, but I think both this and the APA report are worth including.
Ulric Neisser (1997). Never a Dull Moment. American Psychologist 52(1) 79–81. This is Neisser’s account of the task force that resulted in the publication of the APA report Intelligence: Knowns and Unknowns. It provides Neisser’s perspective about a wide range of topics related to race and IQ.
Cochran and Harpending (2005). The Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence. Journal of Biosocial Science 38 (5), pp. 659–693. If the article is going to cover the above-average IQs of Ashkenazi Jews, this is the best-known paper about it. Cochran and Harpending summarize the existing data about this topic, and also present a new hypothesis about it.

Thanks for your welcome! As a general point I just wish to point out Google scholar for those interested in a particular scholarly subject. I find the search functions superior to Medline. The ability to see which articles have cited a particular article easily is nice. Surprisingly often you can find full text articles which is invaluable for those not having library access.

The lone quotation in this list of "good sources" is this:
All other sources are unquoted. Clearly, inclusion of this lone quote serves as stick-waving for those who would dare to approach the subject I.Q. testing with anything but slight interest and mild derision. "...But whatever sources you read, remember that I.Q. tests are flaaaaaaawed!" 15:26, 25 May 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.6.24.178 ( talk)
