info box. You are speaking of adding alternative information, while I am speaking of replacing what I consider to be an erroneous figure. The rationale I have put forth is that if deaths result from an explicit military strategy/a set of war tactics, they should be counted as 'casualties and losses' in the info box, not excluded on the basis that they didn't result from 'the fighting,' by which I suppose you mean 'direct combat'. Only counting casualties from direct combat seems unduly restrictive, particularly as this is not even a page about a specific battle but about the rebellion more broadly. Would you exclude, for instance, the deaths caused by strategic bombing in the casualty counts of any of the main twentieth century wars? If so, please explain, and if not, then why proceed differently here? Perhaps we could discuss a possible military deaths/civilian deaths distinction in the info box, but I am not sure it would actually particularly accurate here, hence my initial suggestion of just using the global figure cited by contemporary historians.
949:
then specify in the article that while ~10,000 died in direct fighting a further 250,000+ died as a direct result of a strategy of extermination that was central to the German war effort? I am quoting Isabel Hull again here: âThe greatest mortality in numbers occurred not in South West Africa but in German East Africa. It was the result of a type of total war
Europeans regarded as peculiarly colonial: the destruction of all dwellings, food stores, domestic animals, and planted fields. Kriegsbrauch (the semi-official manual of war conduct) specifically permitted such a war only against âwild people and barbariansâ; the British export on âsmall warsâ thought these tactics âunfortunateâ but sometimes necessary. A âhunger warâ of this type appears to have been conducted by Germans for the first time in East Africa in 1897 against holdouts in the Wahehe rebellion.â (155)

Ok, thanks. Isabel Hull, the source I initially cited, is the most recent scholarly monograph on the subject and counts the conflict casualties exactly as I have suggested (as in, including the deliberately induced famine). This was my initial point. As you say, it is not up for us to decide what the

I don't know where the ~10,000 casualties figure in the info box comes from. It should read 250,000-300,000. Most historians today agree on this number, see for instance Isabel Hull (2005), Absolute
Destruction: Military Culture and the Practices of War in Imperial Germany, p. 157: "One contemporary

But if exterminating the population through a deliberately engineered famine is an established war strategy (as was the case here), surely the resulting deaths should be included in the conflict casualty count? Why not have the numbers the other way around, namely 250,000-300,000 in the info box and

I understood what you said very well, but I suggested something different, which I am happy to further discuss if you still disagree with me. It is not the same thing to mention the greater casualty figure in the article while leaving '~10,000' in the info box and to state '~250,000-300,000' in the

I checked the link from the name "Hongo" and found, correctly enough, a disambiguation page for it. What I was disappointed to see, was no further link to anything other than
Japanese or Asian persons or meanings. I challenge the usefullness of linking the name Hongo at all in this article, since

article the casulties of the Maji Maji rebellion were: "It is estimated that up to 300,000 Africans were killed, while the German side lost 15 Europeans and 389 African soldiers, according to official data compiled by Götzen." This article states otherwise.
931:
I think that the larger number includes the subsequent famine which killed many more than the fighting ever did, even though it was certainly a result of it. I may be wrong though. Why not add the cited figure you mention to the article?
