Talk:Das Kapital, Volume I

Wall of text, need secondary sources

[edit]

Huge sections of this article seem to be based purely on Marx's own words. In fact a couple of sections consist of nothing but quotations. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Mere quotations are not encyclopedic content, and commentary on the content is vulnerable to accusations that it is improper synthesis or otherwise original research if they don't reflect the analysis of secondary sources.

Agreed. This issue has still not been addressed almost three years later. Because it's a very long and detailed work, it makes sense to have summaries of each Part. But each Section? Unless there's something I'm missing, this is simply excessive. I propose (and will do so myself if there are no objections) combining section-by-section summaries into a summary for each part, and removing extraneous quotes where they can't be integrated with the summaries. Moreover, I would like to substantially expand the sections of this article that aren't just summaries of the work itself. SilverStar54 (talk) 18:14, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
