[edit] Video Games

This recently added section is the only contribution by User:Tomroes ... I was going to try to clean it up, and then realized that it's just a bunch of unverified original research. Rather than just revert it, I tagged it. Maybe an administrator will take the initiative to delete it along with the spam "Reference" they also added. --141.156.232.179 16:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

It's not spam. I'm a Master student at University of Amsterdam. The facts are actually correct, I wrote my BA thesis about the subject of arab stereotypes in video games. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomroes (talk • contribs) 21:57, 27 September 2006

I tried to fix this section a bit (eliminated redirects, removed duplicate links) and did some cosmetics like correcting comma faults. Other than that, it looks like Original Research to me, too ... and just what does a thesis on Arab stereotypes have to do with a paragraph that mentions African Americans (non-hyphenated, BTW) not once, but three times?

OTOH, it's dubious because the only link provided as a citation kinda looks like spam ... it points to a page from the publisher's site that sells the 36-page study, rather than offering anything that provides real information, like a free PDF version would. (BTW, is your thesis available online?) Anyway, "I'm here to explain it, not to defend it." --141.156.240.102 22:54, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
