Talk:Race: The Reality of Human Difference

This article could be much improved with more sources.
I have some Source Lists to Share with Other Wikipedians on my user subpages that would be helpful for updating this article. The subpages on IQ and human intelligence are reasonably complete now, always to be updated more, and the subpages on race and human genetics will be updated a lot more over the next few months. Feel free to refer to those to edit this article and articles on related topics. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 16:11, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Is notability requirement for books met by this article?
I see this article is but a stub, and I wonder if the article has sufficient sources available to meet the notability requirements for a stand-alone Wikipedia article about a book. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 15:38, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Ethnically targeted bioweapons
The sentence "The authors then discuss a fourth, alternate option in the form of ethnic bioweapons. Due to constant ethnic conflicts between and within nations, the eventual use of such a weapon is highly probable in the view of the authors" does not represent the content of the book: while the authors indicate that they could be technically feasible, they also explain why they are not very likely. Furthermore, this long sentence it is giving a very heavy weight to less than 7 pages section of the book (out of a total of 262 pages).

I have replaced it with the shorter and more correct sentence "The authors then discuss "the horrific prospect of ethnically targeted weapons," which they view as technically feasible but not very likely to be used."--Jacques de Selliers (talk) 17:03, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Include reactions to the book?
I wonder if mentioning reviews, or general reception of the book would help readers make better use of this book? Beaulen (talk) 18:31, 17 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia has a whole set of recommendations about how to write articles about books in general, and, yes, it is generally useful for any article about a book to cite reviews of the book and to find sourced information about how the book has been received by readers. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 20:54, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
