Maddison = major reliable source

I kept the summary of research findings cited to Angus Maddison. He was a leading scholar and specialist on the economic history of GNP, including India. Misplaced Pages depends on research of major scholars like him to provide reliable secondary sources that we summarize the OR rules applies NOT to scholars but only to Wiki editors who make new claims not supported by a reliable source. the rule = Misplaced Pages does not publish original thought. All material in Misplaced Pages must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Rjensen (talk) 07:09, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

@Rjensen: Source only mentions table. We can present table but we cant draw conclusions on our own. We can't summarize table based on a single source because summarization can result in POV pushing just like the section currently is. Orientls (talk) 14:14, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
our job as editors is to summarize the RS -- whether it is all in text or numbers or mixed--ity is all verified by Maddison's team as reliable. There is NO Wiki rule against summarizing or paraphrasing facts in the RS. You seem to consider the table as a primary source. In that case please read the rule about primary sources: A primary source may only be used on Misplaced Pages to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. (from WP:PRIMARY) That is, Wiki says that fully sourced "straightforward, descriptive statements of facts" are not OR. Rjensen (talk) 15:01, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
