Yes, I am trying to. I am new and learning. But edits I made were supported with references. I am historian too. Please do not undo edits without asking.

Tell me why stating casualties of Indians as "unknown" is not contentious? If you don't know the history of this event, please be more sensitive than showing me WP rule book. In any case, I have updated references and links.
 * "Unknown" simply reflects there is not a widely-agreed upon number, as noted in the Guardian source that you provided. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:55, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately British historians will never agree to research from modern day Indian historians and hence if you are looking for an agreement from British authors who still patronize imperial days, it will never happen. In any case, Amresh Misra is noted historian (and of course, you may not know) and hence I do not agree with your edit that states him as "controversial" I have edited the sentence a bit that you can review. His research outcomes are bound to generate controversies and that shouldn't take away the seriousness of the fact. If you read the guardian article carefully, this three basis of the claims are not challenged. Those who differed are making arbitrary counter opinions instead of providing substantiated arguments to prove his theory of calculation wrong. Meaning, saying that population may not have been murdered, they may have simply moved is giving one possibility and not the counter to the basis of author's estimate calculations. It is as silly as saying that Jewish population in Germany didn't decrease due to execution but it may have decreased because they mass converted in to Islam or Christianity. (Sorry to give you this drastic example but you do not seem to understand here due to your lack of attachment to the incident and lack of knowledge of the specific history topic)
