To whomever flagged this when I posted it earlier, kindly explain your reasoning.

  If you think something has been flagged in error, I think the most effective thing to do is contact the mods via the Contact link in the footer. They're quite responsive, and can "unflag" a post if they think it's appropriate.

    Many thanks for sharing this process.

      No problem. I often see people post comments like "Why was this flagged?" but they rarely include anything why they think it's a good fit for HN. With the guidelines† in mind, may I ask why you think this submission is a good fit for HN? † https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

        I'm intensely interested in the quantitative signifiers of political crises, which I think this article captures well.
        • grzm 9y ago
          Certainly. I think it's an interesting article as well. I am specifically interested in the feedback of the person who submitted it, however.

            Sure, user anigbrowl captured my sentiments exactly.
