   What are the estimates for Chinese casualties?

Well, I didn't want to fill up the infobox with too many estimates, and in the talk page I couldn't reach any agreement on what number to put in there. As noted in the article Masahiro Yamamoto says that total Chinese combat deaths were unlikely to have been less than 20,000 or greater than 84,000, and originally I put Ikuhiko Hata's estimate of 50,000 in the infobox because he is an internationally respected specialist scholar and because his estimate seemed to be more or less in the middle of the other estimates. However, there were other users who favored the estimate of 30,000 made by Kaikosha and the estimate of 6,000 to 10,000 made by Sun Zhaiwei. I wasn't very keen on stuffing the infobox with all of those estimates, so I went with "estimates vary" instead. All of the individual estimates are mentioned in the body of the article itself.CurtisNaito (talk) 19:15, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
