Talk:World War II casualties/Archives/2016/October

Semi-protected edit request on 6 October 2016
(Submitted by Bernard Biales at skywayparkblue@aol.com). The section on Classification of Deaths would be improved by the following note at the end: Note that no civilian deaths due to starvation and disease are given for Japan and several other highly stressed populations.

 * Edit done here: The sources for the casualties of the individual nations do not use the same methodologies, civilian deaths due to starvation and disease are not given for Japan, Germany and several other highly stressed populations --Woogie10w (talk) 11:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Ruanda-Urundi
The current article has a table showing 7.89% of the population of Ruanda-Urundi died due to the Ruzagayura famine. I maintain that the famine is not related to the war, during the early 20th century, Rwanda had major famines roughly every 5-10 years usually relating to crop failure. This dubious synthesis was added in June 2010 as a result of a request by an editor. I objected at that time to the inclusion of the famine, see history of the talk page @ WW2 Casualties May 28, 2010 for the discussion related to this issue. Let's just delete of Ruanda-Urundi, if this is disputed we can take it to the RSN.--Woogie10w (talk) 12:49, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
