::::So in total (including the garrison), there were 70,000 soldiers in the proximity of Silistra, not 100,000 (though I understand why you put 100,000 since you assumed the 70,000 was talking only about the land army).
::::Since from this total 70,000, only 37,000 were engaged in combat (per the article), I would propose adding a note after the 70,000 strength saying that only 37,000 of these soldiers were active during the siege (including highlighting that the garrison was 30,000 and Çerkes Pasha's force was 7,000). Do you agree to this change? [[User:Lenovya|Lenovya]] ([[User talk:Lenovya|talk]]) 22:16, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
:::::Well, it is clearly impossible to put the lost and irrevocable in one parameter, Russian sources of that time often mention this in the form: "our loss reached, conditionally, 16 killed and 67 wounded". Here is an example from Petrov, Vol. 3 cap. 2 p. 69: {{xt|Our loss consisted of 6 killed and 96 wounded different ranks (means ordinary soldiers and officers) }}
:::::As for Davis, a good point, indeed, most likely 70,000 means the entire number of troops, specify it like this. I have already added a similar note, it is as necessary as specifying the total number of troops. [[User:Dushnilkin|Dushnilkin]] ([[User talk:Dushnilkin#top|talk]]) 22:23, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
:::By the way, can you also quote a source according to which the Russian losses at Silistria are 8,000 dead and 1,000 wounded? Preferably take the author's words verbatim and use machine translation to show them to me so that there are no problems with verifiability.

::::Translated (albeit a poor translation) from Yandex directly from the source (von Hammer, Vol. 16, p. 223);
