Kurdish casualties and losses

I can count 6 deaths from https://twitter.com/EzidiPress & http://ezidipress.com/en/barzani-only-the-peshmerga-have-liberated-shingal-no-other-unit-has-been-involved/ including 2 HPS, 1 YBS, and 3 Peshmerga but I think there are probably more losses, should I add a "6+" to the losses? FugeeCamp^talk 20:23, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would not think so because that would make people think that 6+ is "a bit more than 6". Although technically you are right, don't put it yet. The range needs to be narrowed down. Gug01 (talk) 21:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
