Frequently asked questions

To view an explanation to the answer, click the [show] link to the right of the question.

Q1: Should material that theorizes Disney's criticality of racial bias, be it based on religion, personal beliefs, etc., be in the article? (No.)

A1: No. Material critical of racial bias should not be included in the article unless it can be obtained from a viable source(s). The articles on Wikipedia include information from all significant points of view that relate to a common "neutral" point of view. This is summarized in the policy pages which can be accessed from the Neutral point of view policy. This article strives to conform to Wikipedia policies, which dictate that fringe areas be avoided whenever possible in contrast to mainstream views of those topics, or is this case, the film itself.

Q2: Should another article called Controversies of The Princess and the Frog be created? (No.)

A2: No. Another article called Controversies of The Princess and the Frog should not be created. This is called a "POV fork" and is discouraged.

Q3: Should proof that Disney is trying to support racial integration or racial segregation through this film be included in the article? (Most likely, No.)

A3: Most likely, No. Alleged proof that Disney is supporting racial intergration or racial segregation through this film should not be included in the article. That is because no such proof has come from reliable sources. If you have found a reliable source, such as a film industry source or an actual source from Disney themselves for example, that you think should be included, you can propose it for inclusion on the article’s talk page. We will evaluate each and report them according to their prominence. Note also that it is not the job of Wikipedia to convince those people who do believe this film was made with racial bias otherwise. We as editors represent and focus solely on the incontrovertible truth.

Historical negationism

"The film also received criticism for historical negationism of the Jim Crow era in the Southern USA."

It is obscene that this sentence has THREE citations but includes no quotes. Feels like original Editor is trying to sweep the issue under the rug. 2600:1702:8A0:8980:F00F:9561:F569:D9E8 (talk) 14:39, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, I wouldn't mind expanding that sentence (and there are probably other sources which discuss that too), but my guess is that they didn't want to give any of those citations undue weight. Historyday01 (talk) 21:19, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All reasoning aside a single sentence doesn't cut it. 2600:1702:8A0:8980:F00F:9561:F569:D9E8 (talk) 15:05, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can agree with that. Historyday01 (talk) 20:12, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
