This looks like WP:OR. It is not clear from that the source supports the "Critics do not take into account..." statement. More direct provenance for this statement needs to be supplied. Also, the extensive quote does not seem pertinent to the article in its entirety. See WP:LONGQUOTE. --Klaun (talk) 13:41, 18 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Modern criticism

edit

@Olgama Alen: These claims require independent sourcing. They are currently sourced to (a) a book published by Theosophical Publishing House; (b) a YouTube video by the Theosophical Society; and (c) a book by Geoffrey Barborka, a prominent Theosophist. If the text is to stand, then the claims need to be properly attributed, eg. "according to Theosophical sources, a study was done by the British Museum" etc, and "Theosophical author Geoffrey Baborka claimed" etc. But in my view, if there's no independent verification available for the British Museum study at least, then it doesn't belong in the article.
