- This definition would require every leader of every country where slaves were held to be listed as a slaveholder. This is not what the category is for; those in it are people who personally owned slaves. King Skeleton (talk) 18:08, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Holocaust Victims
Please provide a source for the "12 million" holocaust victims. I have been hearing the number 6 million for decades. When did 6 become 12? The atrocity doesn't need exaggeration. Footnote required. Slings and Arrows (talk) 03:18, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- It's six million Jews, 12 million victims. King Skeleton (talk) 03:57, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
The article claims that 12 million victims were killed due to the holocaust. Its an unsourced allegation. Needs a footnote. Slings and Arrows (talk) 04:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

For a site that is dedicated to rooting out dubious claims (RationalWiki), your BS detector should be red-lined; the numbers appear to be all over the map:
Wikipedia gives two sources:
1) Donald Niewyk (17 million)
2) Service d’Information des Crimes (26.3 million)
The Jewish Virtual Library claims 11 million.
And yes, 12 million is also commonly bandied about. These enormous discrepancies serve to cast doubt on the validity of all the numbers. Slings and Arrows (talk) 05:23, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
