The contentious topics procedure applies to this page. This page is related to the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour, which is a contentious topic. Please consult the procedures and edit carefully.

Arbitration Ruling on Race and Intelligence

The article Race and video games, along with other articles relating to the area of conflict (namely, the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour, broadly construed), is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, described in a 2010 Arbitration Committee case where the articulated principles included:

Pillars: Wikipedia articles must be neutral, verifiable and must not contain original research. Those founding principles (the Pillars) are not negotiable and cannot be overruled, even when apparent consensus to do so exists.
Original research: Wikipedia defines "original research" as "facts, allegations, ideas, and stories not already published by reliable sources". In particular, analyses or conclusions not already published in reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy are not appropriate for inclusion in articles.
Correct use of sources: Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources. Primary sources are permitted if used carefully. All interpretive claims, analyses, or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary source, rather than to original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors.
Advocacy: Wikipedia strives towards a neutral point of view. Accordingly, it is not the appropriate venue for advocacy or for advancing a specific point of view. While coverage of all significant points of view is a necessary part of balancing an article, striving to give exposure to minority viewpoints that are not significantly expressed in reliable secondary sources is not.
Single purpose accounts: Single purpose accounts are expected to contribute neutrally instead of following their own agenda and, in particular, should take care to avoid creating the impression that their focus on one topic is non-neutral, which could strongly suggest that their editing is not compatible with the goals of this project.
Decorum: Wikipedia users are expected to behave reasonably, calmly, and courteously in their interactions with other users; to approach even difficult situations in a dignified fashion and with a constructive and collaborative outlook; and to avoid acting in a manner that brings the project into disrepute. Unseemly conduct, such as personal attacks, incivility, assumptions of bad faith, harassment, or disruptive point-making, is prohibited.
Tag-team editing: Tag teams work in unison to push a particular point of view. Tag-team editing – to thwart core policies (neutral point of view, verifiability, and no original research); or to evade procedural restrictions such as the three revert rule or to violate behavioural norms by edit warring; or to attempt to exert ownership over articles; or otherwise to prevent consensus prevailing – is prohibited.

If you are a new editor, or an editor unfamiliar with the situation, please follow the above guidelines. You may also wish to review the full arbitration case page. If you are unsure if your edit is appropriate, discuss it here on this talk page first.

Formatting Suggestions

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

   A few things that this article would improve on could definitely be on its formatting. It is straight forward, but it would be better if there could be sub-units under each content and a bit more information. For example, under Racial Representation, it could of been formatted in a way that grouped certain people together for a more organized section. Rather than having many different items under one topic.

Example:

      Racial Representation
       1.Hispanic Characters
       2.Black Characters
       3.Etc...

It could be better if there were a few more listing of video games that supported these topics and how viewers felt about them. As said before, the addition of sub-units would make it much easier to read and find information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 8.41.197.222 (talk) 19:29, 2 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

This article deal primarily with the United States

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article deal primarily with the United States. Although there are some mentions on Japan gaming industry, it's mostly foucs on US gaming industry and US demographics. Most research and polls used here also conducted in US that aimed at the citizen of US. The problem described in this article also primarily a US issue(or also some western countries maybe). That's why I put the Template:Globalize on this article.--Someone97816 (talk) 10:24, 26 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
