This article needs rewriting and expanding, using reputable sources. (What is " http://www.bartleby.com/65/wh/WhiteLot.html"?) Entenman ( talk) 14:33, 1 November 2010 (UTC)entenman
Seeing as this event lists on List of wars and disasters by death toll and lists such a high death toll, it would be appreciated to have more reliable sources for figures. I know academic research on the topic might be hard to come by, but considering that the deaths amount to around 20 times the deaths of the American Civil War I wonder why more information wouldn't be available? Is the fact that the event occurs in Asian history rather than Western history a reason why less academic research would be done on the topic? Not to vent prejudice, but I feel like this article more than merits more attention and research. Shaded0 ( talk) 03:54, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

With 16 million dead, there ought to be a few paragraphs about conditions motivating the rebellion (relative importance of poverty vs. religious zeal), major battles with timelines, maybe a map, tactics, arms used, how casualties were mixed between fighters and non-combatants, organization of rebel forces and such.
