Intro paragraph
The "most evil regimes" list counts things like the Flu or famines. I didn't know that those count as mass murder, too. The list also clashes with the other external link (the one by Pat Johnson, some history professor somewhere). This ties in with the section above: Yes, I know what CP's opinion of atheism is, but I would appreciate more authoritative sources about mass murder in general instead of simple finger-pointing at atheism. If I get the time today, I'll start looking for a few myself. --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 09:11, 9 October 2007 (EDT)

== Intro paragraph ==
Really needs clean-up. Right now, it looks like mass murder is genocide is democide and that "the term" was popularized by the Genocide Convention. Which leaves the questions: What term? We're in the article [[mass murder]], so is it that one? Or is it (as the name implies) about genocide? If so, why is it listed here?
It's confusing at best. As above, if I get the time and nobody tackles this before then, I'll see what I can do. --[[User:Jenkins|Jenkins]] 09:17, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
