Talk:Global Monitoring Report (World Bank)

How is this Wikipedia entry -- especially it's data table -- not noteworthy?

1. The report is the single most important source of data and analysis on extreme poverty. The Global Monitoring Report publishes the World Bank's estimates of the number of people globally who live in "extreme poverty." In October, the report announced a new poverty line of $1.90 per day, up from $1.25 per day, garnering hundreds of news articles (https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%241.90+a+day+poverty).

2. The old $1.25 poverty line is discussed extensively in Wikipedia -- for example, on the "Poverty" page (ranked 624th among all Wikipedia page). Much of the data on the Poverty page is now outdated. I am preparing to correct it, pointing visitors to the Global Monitoring Report table, where applicable.
