Contradictions in the Article

According to the infobox the total number of victims is >100,000 overall yet, the al-Qutayfah site alone allegedly contains the exact same number of victims. So either the total number of victims is much higher or there are far fewer burials in al-Qutayfah.Catlemur (talk) 11:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for noting the issue, I added the lower bound for the Najha site (20,000) estimate to the total figure in addition to the al-Qutayfah site. Noble Attempt (talk) 22:39, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We should be careful.

We really should be careful regarding the number of dead people supposedly found in these mass graves. The 100,000+ number is not at all verified and is entirely based on speculation. Shoddy speculation at that. The death toll should be labeled as undetermined until a real investigation takes place. 2601:601:8583:DBE0:3CF5:933E:3D50:EDA3 (talk) 10:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
