I'm not sure what you mean by "once published then copyright infringement helps keep information from getting out". Citing or quoting sources isn't copyright infringement - if an author or academic has written about this method of calculating the number, we can freely summarise their findings. If this is your own personal, unpublished theory, however, it's not appropriate material for Wikipedia. --McGeddon (talk) 10:49, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
