This Race and intelligence controversy category, along with various articles relating to race and intelligence, is currently subject to active arbitration remedies, described in a 2010 Arbitration Committee case. 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 on the article talk page first. When in doubt, don't revert!

Category:People involved in race and intelligence controversies to Category:People associated with race and intelligence controversies – C2E: I'm cleaning up the parent category to make it more navigable. I realized that this name implies that each person is directly involved in the controversy (or advocating that there are genetic between group differences). A subset of folks in here do work that effectively argues the opposite (or folks who are actively involved in demonstrating that the differences aren't caused by race).

@Smasongarrison: "involved in" sounds stronger than "associated with", doesn’t it? Marcocapelle (talk) 17:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. That is exactly why I want to soften the language. Mason (talk) 20:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Smasongarrison: then that's the very reason I am opposing it, per WP:DEFINING, WP:OCASSOC. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:39, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  There are people who are still defined by their research in race and intelligence, even if they aren't actively involved in such controversy. The current version implies that they are advocating for the hypothesis in favor, the rename does not imply that they are in favor of the hypothesis. If you want to purge the category, fine, but I think that your opposition in misguided, given how potentially controversial the label is. Mason (talk) 10:53, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Researchers of the topic are a completely different sort of people in this context, they should never be mingled with people who are actually involved in these controversies. If enough researchers articles exist they should have their own category. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:32, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
