First off, the casualty numbers for the Austrians on the sidebar is confusing. Only one source is listed, which does not distinguish between killed, wounded, or POW in its count for individual battles. It also includes a casualty total table at the bottom, but it does not differentiate between fronts (mainly an issue for the Austrians). Instead, it has a note saying that one-third of all Austro-Hungarian casualties were on the Italian front. Unless there is an uncited source, it appears to me that the killed, wounded, and possibly total casualty numbers are taken from this estimation of one-third. Adding together the individual battle casualties for the Austrians, a total of 493,000 is reached, a number not reflected anywhere on this page.
Additionally, for the Isonzo battles, the total war casualty figure for the Italians is listed as 600,000, referring to deaths only (already somewhat confusing), while the Austrian total is listed as 1.2 million, which, according to the casualties and losses table of the sidebar (possibly inaccurate) is the total number of wounded, not killed. The wording for the Austrian casualties is also very strange; they are described as "by no means as numerous [as the Italian casualties]", but go on to cite a 400,000 casualty number, which is definitely higher than the 300,000 figure given for the Italians at the beginning of that section.
The Battles of the Isonzo page has similar wording but instead uses a 200,000 Austrian casualty count, which makes more sense (the 1.2 million figure is still present, however). 2602:306:3483:85C0:F82E:393E:383B:60B8 ( talk) 07:24, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
