This is a sandbox for occasionally updating this table below used on Iraq Body Count project. It only takes a few minutes to update the table. I delete the table below from this user sandbox. Then I copy the latest table directly from this webpage:

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.

I then integrate the wikitext below (via source editing) to the top to make it sortable, and narrower (via a separate sorting row).

Please do not edit here. Use your own user sandboxes. From Help:Table: Sandboxes help a lot. For example; your user page: Special:MyPage. Create and bookmark some personal sandboxes too. Visual Editor will load very fast in empty sandboxes: Special:MyPage/Sandbox, Special:MyPage/Sandbox2, Special:MyPage/Sandbox3. As many as you want. Share the link when asking for help. To find all your sandboxes: Special:PrefixIndex/User: – click link, add user name to the spot labeled "Display pages with prefix:".

Substitute this wikitext at the top of the table wikitext edit
