Neutrality Issue

I feel that many segments of this article are written like a company mission statement. The section on preorders and how much it costs, the special deals offered? Please. Someone evaluate please. --Aceya (talk) 16:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, Biasia, I'm guessing you're an employee of EB games?--203.201.73.154 (talk) 16:36, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I made sure most disputable information have resonable references will add more detailed info within the next 5-7 days. Feel free to add and contribute as long as its consistant with wiki guidelines... i.e no ads for the company and no POV. we just want facts. cheers Biasia (talk) 14:49, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate content

I don't think it is appropriate to include allegations of bullying in this article. These sort of claims occur all the time. Until the outcome of a court case is determined it should not be mentioned. Even then what has one incident at one of many stores got to do with the company? Its unfortunate but not notable. - Shiftchange (talk) 20:31, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The unfortunate bullying allegations are notable as they are documented by multiple verifyable, reliable sources and it is written here with a neutral point of view according to the Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Prhartcom (talk) 14:35, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mentioning the allegations is definitely appropriate. Particularly as it still seems to be happening in some stores. 2001:8003:15C0:501:25EA:395A:A27F:CC15 (talk) 10:56, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The articles cited name an individual in a defamatory manner. Is this in line with the Wikipedia guidelines on Libel/Defamation - Lobstronormus (talk)

Rolled back content

The following was posted to the talk page of an editor who had rolled back content that had been recently added to this article; the post was moved here.

Hi! I noticed you rolled back a lot of changes made to the EB Games Australia Wikipedia Page due to a lack of sources.

Most of this information was obtained directly from the relevant EB Games departments (i.e I contacted their event team about EB Expo etc) and I was wondering how to properly cite this, given that this information is not published anywhere digitally.

I can 100% confirm this information is correct, as it has been sourced directly from the company themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lobstronormus (talk • contribs) 05:21, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lobstronormus, I have restored some of the recently added content you added, edited it to be from a neutral point of view, added a "citation needed" tag to some of this new and some previously existing content where necessary, spent a few hours researching verifyable, reliable sources, and added cited references where possible. I also restored the content you had deleted regarding the unfortunate allegations of bullying, of which my research uncovered several news sources proving its notability, that I added cited references for also. I don't doubt that what you say is 100% correct, but on Wikipedia we can't write about what we know, we can only write about what others have written in reliable sources. See here for more information.

I regret to observe that yours appears to be a single-purpose account, used only to improve this article, indicating you may have a conflict of interest, as an editor's motivation should be to improve the encyclopedia, not to improve the description of the subject of the article. If so, you are allowed to make only uncontroversial edits to this article if you first declare your COI, but you should request that other editors make more substantial edits for you by posting a message to this talk page. More information about this can be found here. Let me know if I can help or if I can answer any questions. Prhartcom (talk) 14:35, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
