The table of some estimates of different scholars for the death toll of Nanking Massacre
Hello,

I have roughly constructed a table listing estimates of different scholars in response to your demand of finding "reliable sources or evidence that indicates support for the figure of 200,000+". However, User:Banzaiblitz keeps removing this table from the discussion page of Nanking Massacre. I do not know why I cannot post this table on the discussion page of Nanking Massacre for discussion. I invite you to visit the table here before I can post it on the discussion page without any bothering. If you have any question or any demand for translation please contact my talk page. I will try reply as soon as possible. --Snorri (talk) 21:11, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

the new discussion about Nanking Massacre
(Sorry to post it again. I do not know if you can see my comment in your old talk page so I post it here as well. Just in case.)

I saw your remark on the talk page. I am very glad that you affirm my effort on the table and that we are agree that the upper limit of death toll should be pushed up. However, I still want to say a few things about the subject. I hope this would not bother you too much. First I think 200,000+ is not an over-estimating figure. Maybe 300,000+ would be a little over but given what I listed in the table, I think 200,000+ is well accepted among worldwide scholars as the result of IMFTE. I have many side proofs on this specific point if you would like to acquaint more. Second, Ikuhiko Hata's estimate has been strongly doubted by different scholars. For example Lee En-Han criticized that Hata used a quasi-quibbling method to cut down the number by using "illegal kill", "quasi-fight-to-death" and "legal kill" to classify the massacred Chinese citizens and only admit the 38000 to 42000 "illegal killed number". Hata's estimate is not that widely accepted.

But after all, I think we are on the way to solve the problem. I do not know how to deal with Banzaiblitz given his wild behavior on the talk page so I choose to leave my comment here. Hope you don't mind. --Snorri (talk) 11:24, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
