http://freedomspeace.blogspot.com/ returns "Blog has been removed." I've accordingly removed references there with ^{[citation needed]}. One of the lists named the blog as one of two sources, but I'm not sure if the single remaining valid source covers all that the list indicates. Shane Lin (talk) 07:21, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Spanish inquisition

This page erroneously claims that 350,000 people died during the Spanish Inquisition. It's reference is also very weak. In contrast, the actual wikipedia article on the Spanish Inquisition states that a much more accurate estimate is 3500 to 5000 people over several centuries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.153.182.112 (talk) 22:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] This is a useless word

This is my understanding from reading the article. If that is incorrect the article should be re-written for clarity.
Essentially democide is defined as any death caused (directly or indirectly) by any government action. If someone dies because arsenic in water standards are too weak- Democide. Execution of a serial killer - Democide. Abortion - Democide. Carpet bombing of enemy populations - Demicide. Actually all war casualties - democide. Nitpyck (talk) 16:19, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
