Casualties of the Iraq War OR casualties of American invasion of Iraq  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:EE18:6C01:F5FF:7785:4AA5:324A (talk) 21:30, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

message: :The B-class criteria #1 states; , and #4, 
:Some subsection has four, five, and six inline citations. I cannot surmise a situation that requires such citation overkill.  The second to last sentence in the "Iraqi insurgent casualties" actually has nine citations. The "Lancet (2006)" has one sentence with eight and one with thirteen citations. I still don't see a reason for more than three, but certainly, not more than four as it absolutely impacts "the readability of an article".
:There are sentences and paragraphs without any citations. Reassess the article to C-class.  
===External links===
:There are twenty-eight entries in the "External links" in five subsections. Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to add for four. The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.

It's a simple copy and paste into the Visual Editor (VE) window. A blank window. Do not insert blank table first. 
VE is able to detect when some tables are being pasted into it, and can produce a table on the spot. Save it.
Then open the table in source mode editing. Add this table wikitext back into the wikitext at the top of the table:

{| class="wikitable mw-datatable sortable sort-under" border=1 style=text-align:right;
|+ Monthly civilian deaths from violence, 2003 onwards
|-

!Feb
!Mar

!Aug
!Sep
!Oct

Preview, and then save it. --Timeshifter (talk) 15:18, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
