[edit] Rummel the historian
I think the article should be a bit more clear that Rummel isn't just controversial, but is pretty much a libertarian crackpot. At least that's my impression of what historians think of his scholar ship, especially all the imaginative tinkering with casualty figures.

- Not true and note that reference must be provided for all statements as per WP policy. What you are saying is extremely POV and needs some very solid evidence to back it up. Needless to say your personal impression is irrelevant at best. Btw WP is not generally considered to be the place to vent one's frustrations.Xenovatis (talk) 22:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:DP BACKSIDE V 16.JPG
Image:DP BACKSIDE V 16.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] reduction
This sentence "Rummel explains that his works are "about the sheer magnitude of democide, and the democratic peace that underlies [President] Bush's foreign policy as the solution to democide and war" is a reduction of Rummels position. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.165.67.8 (talk) 06:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
