Talk:World War II casualties/Archives/2019/May

Missing casualties throughout asia.

The western vision of WW2 is appreciated here, due to the fact that this page does not include the deaths in china, and other asian countries. The Japanese empire killed over 2.5million people throughout only the korean peninsula, the absentia of the inportance of asian casualties defines this article with a eurovision that does not remember correctly.

Typo in the second paragraph

"Deaths directly caused by the war military and civilians killed are estimated at 50-56 million people,There were an additional estimated 19 to 28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine."

Ah I see what's happened now! I referred to this sentence in the section below. You've combined what were originally two different sentences, resulting in a single grammatically incorrect sentence. "There were an additional estimated 19 to 28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine." This sentence is perfectly valid on its own, but the combined sentence definitely isn't. Not only that, but the first sentence was grammatically incorrect to begin with; it refers to deaths directly caused by "the war military," but this is not a valid English phrase. It appears that there were originally three distinct statements (two in the first sentence and a third in the second sentence you joined), and they've all been jumbled together. This needs to be fixed. Global Cerebral Ischemia (talk) 15:45, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Grammatically incorrect sentence in lead

It is absolutely obvious that the following sentence in the lead is grammatically incorrect: "Deaths directly caused by the war military and civilians killed are estimated at 50–56 million people, there were an additional estimated 19 to 28 million deaths from war-related disease and famine." I made a recent edit to this sentence here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=World_War_II_casualties&diff=899277403&oldid=898266986 ...but the edit was reverted to the original (grammatically incorrect) version. I am open to complete re-writes of this sentence (or even its removal). However it is altered, it is unambiguously clear to me that its current form is unacceptable.
