According to the Gustav Adolf von Götzen article the casulties of the Maji Maji rebellion were: "It is estimated that up to 300,000 Africans were killed, while the German side lost 15 Europeans and 389 African soldiers, according to official data compiled by Götzen." This article states otherwise. Fred26 10:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't know where the ~10,000 casualties figure in the info box comes from. It should read 250,000-300,000. Most historians today agree on this number, see for instance Isabel Hull (2005), Absolute Destruction: Military Culture and the Practices of War in Imperial Germany, p. 157: "One contemporary scholar estimated a death toll of one hundred and fifty thousand; a modern estimate is two hundred and fifty to three hundred thousand, or one third of the population of the rebellious areas." (Citing Noske, Kolonialpolitik, 123; Iliffe, Modern History of the Tanganika, 200). ClaireV (talk) 13:51, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
I checked the link from the name "Hongo" and found, correctly enough, a disambiguation page for it. What I was disappointed to see, was no further link to anything other than Japanese or Asian persons or meanings. I challenge the usefullness of linking the name Hongo at all in this article, since there is nothing truly related to the use of the name Hongo in this article. Wouldn't it be better to remove the link until someone writes about the African version/use of Hongo?

Should be added to article. Perhaps also a series/template of German military use of famine should be created considering plans to starve Polish population in WW1 and Hunger Plan--Molobo (talk) 05:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps also a series/template of the use of famine by the forces of the United States in its wars against native-Americans in the 18th and 19th centuries. I believe the record shows that native-American food supplies were often targeted for that reason, and that the mass shooting of bison ("buffalo") was also intended to deprive native-Americans of their traditional food source.
Please understand, I am not picking on the Americans. I'm sure some of you specialists in other areas can add examples of similar policies by other groups -- not all of them European or European-American. The Communists did this in the Ukraine in the early 1930s, and I believe the Japanese did this in some areas of China c. 1940-1941. (71.22.47.232 (talk) 09:14, 2 February 2011 (UTC))
