List of anthropogenic disasters[edit]
Hello sir,
All of the edits made were either linked to Wikipedia articles with listed death tolls, or else had yet to have the university of Hawaii cited. Part of the problem was that I was in the process of cleaning up and completing the article.
With regards to Winston Churchill, I will make the Low estimate only the bombing of dresden while the high estimate with include the famine in Bengals highest death toll from its wikipedia article and also a set of citations claiming Winston's government was responsible for the famine.
For fdr and Harry Truman, I was referencing the Wikipedia articles which detailed the bombing of Japan by the US during World War II, as well as the no gun RI massacre.
None of this is original research save the mathematical process of adding together different death tolls. It probably bore the appearance of original research as I am not very skilled at the stylistic formatting side of Wikipedia editing.
I should also provide death toll citations for those who are referenced elsewhere in Wikipedia, this will take more time than citin get University of hawaii.
I hope this doesnt cause many problems. Hong kuslauski (talk) 19:46, 3 December 202Hawaii.
Once more we could potentially collaborate in verifying body counts for the events linked to other Wikipedia pages.
Nafeez Ahmed & Byline Times[edit]
Hello, GreenCows you have deleted the estimate regarding Nafeez Ahmed multiple times; stating he is not reliable.
How is he unreliable when he is an academic and former guardian journalist? Also, I am attributing the estimate to him. And there is no evidence for Byline Times as being unreliable as well. shadowwarrior8 ( talk ) 17 July 2022 18:11 UTC
Is this wording acceptable to you? "British investigative journalist and academic Nafeez Ahmed estimates that about six million deaths have been caused by the War.[1][2]"
Waiting for your response, GreenCows shadowwarrior8 ( talk ) 18 July 2022 19:34 UTC
- Hello, it's unreliable and undue as it's a fringe estimate that is far higher than other epidemiological surveys on excess deaths for these conflicts. This estimate hasn't been quoted in any mainstream sources. Nafeez Ahmed is also not an expert in epidemiology and arbitrarily multiplies direct deaths by 4 to create his own estimate. His estimate of excess deaths in Iraq is much higher than PLOS survey and even the controversial Lancet survey. His calculations are also far higher than the United Nations' own estimate of excess deaths due to the Yemeni civil war. Nafeez Ahmed is also controversial because he has been accused of association with 9/11 conspiracy theories.
- Additionally, what is the point of the second source? It's a duplicate of Ahmed's article from the first source but in a website for online teaching resources. GreenCows (talk) 10:35, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

September 2022 Iraq War[edit]
Hi GreenCows, can you explain your logic to me in saying that post invasion is more accurate than occupation..thanks Unnecessarily (talk) 15:42, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
re: "Texian immigrant would imply an immigrant from Texas." definition of immigrant, the word immigrant means a person who has come TO the place, emigrant is a person who has come FROM the place.GalantFan (talk) 18:46, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
