I'm being attacked by another editor at the bottom of page Talk:Somalis in the United Kingdom. Is this allowed and can I do anything? BrumEduResearch (talk) 18:17, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Personally, unless the editor in question is stalking you and maliciously reverting your edits, I would ignore them. Name-calling is unavoidable sometimes but unless there's solid evidence nothing generally comes of it. If you find yourself being bullied let someone know.

Speedy deletion nomination of Superdiversity
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Superdiversity requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:32, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
I recreated the article. Of course superdiversity is an invented concept but it is important and significant. I hope this is clear now.BrumEduResearch (talk)
February 2015
Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Superdiversity has been reverted.
Your edit here to Superdiversity was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://fairbrum.wordpress.com/2012/04/23/what-on-earth-is-superdiversity/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Misplaced Pages.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Misplaced Pages's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:52, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Superdiversity
Hello, I noticed your comment on Talk:Superdiversity. While it may be beneficial to have experience on a subject, the editor that tagged the page may be concerned that you have a conflict of interest on the subject. Pishcal — ♣ 14:21, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- I have offered to stop editing the article if needed. Can you explain the conflict though? Lots of Somalis seem to edit the Somalis in the United Kingdom article and they seem to be allowed to. Superdiversity isn't about specific people, just a concept. BrumEduResearch (talk) 14:26, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- I don't believe you need to stop editing the page. Having a conflict of interest doesn't mean that you can't edit Misplaced Pages, it just means that you need to be careful when making possibly controversial edits, which I don't believe you're making. As for somalis editing the Somalis in the United Kingdom article, I wouldn't know exactly, but WP:COI usually applies more to people editing on behalf of a company. If you believe that anybody editing that page does have a conflict of interest which is affecting their contributions, consider taking up the issue on the article talk page.

- Interesting, neither Middayexpress, 26oo, or even I have revealed what ethnic groups we come from. AcidSnow (talk) 18:07, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
- Interesting indeed. WP:COI also applies to companies and special interest organizations (like, say, hate groups). Best regards Middayexpress (talk) 18:19, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Thinktank editathon
Hi, I look forward to seeing you on 7 March at Thinktank. The primary focus of the event is the museum's own collection and related matters, but we'll be happy to help you in anyway we can, with your Misplaced Pages editing.
