message: The table in the section Largest by death toll puts the death toll for World War I at 39 million. This is not supported by the cited source, which implies a cumulative death toll of about 8 million. The entry refers the reader to the article World War I casualties, which states that the total number of casualties was about 40 million, but that includes soldiers who were only wounded without being killed. This source https://www.census.gov/history/pdf/reperes112018.pdf also gives the total number of casualties as 40 million, and estimates the actual death toll to be about 20 million (about 10 million each for both military and civilian). I don't know if the table is confusing "casualties" with "fatalities" or is also counting deaths from the Spanish flu. 82.132.186.162 (talk) 11:38, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: .Yeap, you are right, if we talk about number of dead people, not wounded or so, and we talk about it in that section. and I have fixed it with consulting the World War I casualties article and took source from there to this page. Nubia86 (talk) 19:01, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

message: Undue weight is given to an outdated “endemic violence” in prehistory. The research is drawn from a non-consensus book from the 1990s. See the Wiki page on Pinker’s Better Angels (criticisms) for a plurality of perspectives. Ferguson would be a good counterbalancing source. “Violence: An Anthropology of War”. This article could be a good source to include along with the book.

message: In 1947, in view of the rapidly increasingly destructive consequences of modern warfare, and with a particular concern for the consequences and costs of the newly developed atom bomb, Albert Einstein famously stated, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
Attribution of this quote to Einstein is somewhat dubious. See this Snopes article, for instance. But besides, I'm not sure whether this anecdote has enough relevance to be included in the History section; perhaps it would be better to remove it? 38.13.67.134 (talk) 00:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
