Tariffs[edit]

Good call! And properly raised too.

If no-one comes back with clarification in the next few days, you would be correct to add {{dubious}} to the current figure. If you still can't get it resolved, well you can't just delete the current figure because it is sourced. So I think you would have to change it to "unclear" or something similar with a footnote (use {{efn|blah blah blah}} ) to explain that sources differ. It would be wise to search the article history to try to find out who added it as they may not be watching the page but you could leave a message at their talk page if she is still active.

On second thoughts, I don't believe that you could use the "dubious" tag, because the table that says 0 0 0 has a valid citation. I can only suggest that you use a footnote to say that this disagrees with that. Quite extraordinary given that the same source material must have been available to both writers! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:50, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion on the talk page of the article. I'm reluctant to directly edit the article without verification of the accuracy of the Nye source. I have ordered the book referenced as the source of the table (Imlah, Economic Elements) as well as the Bairoch book. JAC Esquire (talk) 23:01, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What you do on your own page is entirely up to you but it occurs to me that maybe you aren't aware of your sandbox? See User:JAC Esquire/Sandbox, currently empty. The link to it is at the top right hand corner of the window. As a 'for example', feel free to poke among the cobwebs, blunt pencils, rusty nails, elastic bands etc at User:John Maynard Friedman/sandbox. Don't forget to wipe your shoes on the way out .
