Number of dead at the Second Battle of Pyramid Lake

[edit]

Hi, I saw your February 6 edit to the Second Battle of Pyramid Lake, where you changed the number of regulars and volunteers killed from 3 killed to 4. The citation for that is Michno, Gregory (2003). Encyclopedia of Indian Wars: Western Battles and Skirmishes, 1850–1890. Missoula: Mountain Press Publishing Company. p. 74-75. ISBN 0-87842-468-7., which I happen to have a copy.

On page 75, Michno states that 25 Paiutes were killed and about 20 were wounded. 3 regulars and volunteers were killed and 5 wounded. I reverted your change and in the summary wrote: "Michno p. 75 states "The Paiutes killed 3 men and wounded 5." If you have a different reference for 3 dead, then please provide it. I updated 20 wounded Paiutes to "about 20" and added refs for the wounded counts."

I see that you made another edit where you reverted again from 3 regulars and volunteers killed to 4. Do you have a citation that supports this? Are you aware of the WP:3RR policy? I'm not interested in edit warring, but I am interested in making a better article. If there is a WP:RS source that supports 4 regulars and volunteers being killed then I'm happy to see it included. Let's discuss this and make a better article. Cxbrx (talk) 04:28, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Number of dead in the Paiute War overall

[edit]

I saw your edit to Paiute War, where you updated the total number of dead. Could you update Talk:Paiute War with your reasoning?

BTW - I see that Special:Contributions/2600:1010:B12D:577F:91DC:4812:3931:8534 made similar edits on February 6. I encourage you to get a named account so that your edits are listed in one place. Cxbrx (talk) 04:50, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Number of dead at Williams Station massacre

[edit]

I saw your edit to Williams Station Massacre where you changed the number of dead from 4 to 13. In the text of the article I described the confusion about the 12-13 purported to be dead. Let's discuss this at the Talk:Williams Station massacre. Cxbrx (talk) 04:50, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Casualties in Red Cloud's War

[edit]

I see that you edited Red Cloud's War and changed the casualties from ~200 to 200+. Is this supported in the reference? If not, please provide a reference and and/or discuss it at Talk:Red Cloud's War. I've found that multiple WP:RS sources report different versions of facts and am happy to include multiple sources with different views. Cxbrx (talk) 04:50, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Number of dead in the Dakota War of 1862

[edit]

In your edit to Dakota War of 1862 you changed the number of dead from 358 to 800+ with a summary "Accuracy it is well known 800+ civilians died during the new ulm raids. Some historians even thing it was over a thousand." Is the 800+ supported in the reference cited or in any other reference? I'm sensing a pattern here...
