Philippine American War casualties[edit]

The most common number is a over 4,000 killed, yet this has the total at 3,000. I believe this is incorrect. It should also list the number of Philippine Constabulary casualties which numbers 2,000 dead and wounded, which nearly all of these are American.

Current events?[edit]

Posted By Deftdrummer 8/13/06 Is there a reason that this article is not stamped with the "this article represents current events" as many others have? I only say this because the death toll for our current war gets higher seemingly every day.

Other deaths[edit]

There is no information that clarifies what is meant by "other" death in the table, is this civilian or other front line deaths that aren't caused by combat?

WWI Deaths[edit]

Does anybody have a better idea of what the World War I deaths include? It has a huge "other" category of 63k deaths which is about 10k more than the 53k combat deaths. Does this include the Spanish Flu? Does anybody know what the numbers would be if Spanish Flu deaths were removed from this number? It seems absurd that the number is so much higher than the actual combat deaths. Thanks! Centerone (talk) 01:28, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it will include flu deaths. No it is not absurd; it is normal to have high numbers of disease and accident deaths. Check the previous major wars totals. Rmhermen (talk) 16:04, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm just wondering if it's possible to somehow tease out the data for 1918 flu deaths vs. non-flu deaths in the "other deaths" category. `It would certainly be helpful to know. Centerone (talk) 23:55, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Some references are all messed up[edit]

Search in the page source for history.navy.mil and autogenerated1 . It's impossible to say from the page source alone which of those references are used as citations where, so I didn't edit.

I looked at navy.mil and I don't see any problem. Could you explain what you think is incorrect? Rmhermen (talk) 16:12, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
