Specifically, you cannot change numbers without changing the reference (for each number you change that has an accompanying reference). The references for GDP are sometimes quite complex and (unfortunately) various formats are used. Also when the instructions say "do not edit", it is likely an editor makes more mess rather than improving the article. I suggest you concentrate on other edits than changing GDP estimates for various countries; I think you can make valid contrubutions elsewhere. However, if you want to proceed with this type of edits, the best example/pattern for the reference is in Kazakhstan. Thanks, WikiHannibal (talk) 10:40, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
