This seems like a misreading of WP NOR to me Particularly that same article states Research that consists of collecting and organizing material from existing sources within the provisions of this and other content policies is fundamental to writing an encyclopedia Best practice is to research the most reliable sources on the topic and summarize what they say in your own words So the fact that this seems like a reasonable summary to you and I and my reading of Wiki standards is that summarizing is a key aspect of wikipedia makes me think this should state As always I hope you or others will chime in if I am misreading things
