Dropping a note here to let editors know I performed a recent change to the Tables section > Overview: Death estimates by group > U.S. armed forces. I updated the paragraph containing counts (Total Deaths, KIA, non-hostile, WIA), relevant dates (pdf file title and access date), title [DOD pdf file], and Web archive pdf file link. I performed this update in order to update another article. As such, I did not update any other data in this article due to lack of time. Ping me with questions or need for clarification.

Which one is true and should be used as this page Headlines ? 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)
The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited., and #4,
The article is reasonably well-written.
Two or three may be preferred for more controversial material or as a way of preventing linkrot for online sources, but more than three should generally be avoided; if four or more are needed, consider bundling (merging) the citations.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".
Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
Minimize the number of links. -- Otr500 ( talk) 01:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

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

I've removed the "various estimates" section because these are an eclectic mix of statements by politicians, or somewhat informal tallies from media or other organizations, often simple for a single given year. By contrast, all the other sections are more detailed reports on specific scientific studies and are more comprehensive in scope. - Darouet ( talk) 17:39, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
