Can we cite a peer-reviewed study from the Journal of Economic Growth[1] which found that ethnic diversity at the city-level had a positive impact on wages, productivity and economic growth. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:24, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, of course. The study was removed by an editor who overwhelmingly edits content related to Muslims and immigration in Europe. The editor suggested that the study was misrepresented. The study explicitly states in the abstract: "we find that the relationship between diversity and growth is positive for small geographical areas." The other editor claims that the abstract also finds that diversity is bad at the national level, but that's not what the study finds. The other editor is misreading the abstract: the abstract is citing other research, which the study then juxtaposes with the findings of this particular study. The body of the article, which the other editor has not read, fleshes this out. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:29, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
•  Note: I removed the RFC tag as non-neutrally worded and vague. The initial objection was not that the source couldn't be used, but that it was being used improperly. Moreover, this seems to have stemmed from a minor content dispute over a month ago that resulted in a total of 4 comments between 2 parties. An RfC for this is both early (not enough discussion) and late (why wait so long?). Another option here would have been WP:3O, but given the time lapse involved, it might be worth trying to restart discussion first. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:33, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• The mitpressjournals.org link posted by Snoggan has a shorter version of the abstract. The abstract I was citing is this one, which says Empirical research working with cross-country data finds a negative, or statistically in- significant, relationship. That's the abstract I cited in this edit. It is true that I don't have access to the complete study. In general enWP prefers WP:SECONDARY sources to WP:PRIMARY sources and therefore this source is stronger on research it has evaluated, rather than the research it contains.

cette page ne mentionne pratiquement pas la France why?
The same could be said for several other countries. Is it because France isnt' considered by Wikipedians to be multicultural, or is it that the Wikipedians themselves are not multicultural? 78.115.95.9 (talk) 07:35, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

France is now included. Rjensen (talk) 08:48, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! However I feel that France is still under-described.
This page needs more balanced information about several countries including France; it could be widened - from immigration to include other issues, from post-WW2 Algerian and Vietnamese immigration to other sources, and deepened to previous events (and even previous centuries), and perhaps also issues of breton basque or corsican culture, and assimilation of other people into the French identity. In addition one might simplify some of the reference to "republican" thought.

But I am not a political scientist nor a historian, so some other Wikipedian(s) would definitely be better qualified to do this. -- jw (talk) 09:17, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting that Africa where there are hundreds of nations in many countries yet only 4 are mentioned but Europe many are mentioned. DRC, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana etc have many diff cultures Nlivataye (talk) 16:50, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree: this seems to be a big oversight. I have added the {{globalize}} tag to the article. QueenofBithynia (talk) 17:39, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
