[edit] Motivations
I'm not sure that the Greek defense at Thermopylae should be listed as "suicide" - the Greeks did not seek to end their lives, but to harm and attack the enemy. It was extremely probable that they would die, but it was not suicide. The Greeks were not the instruments of their own deaths, as was the case with kamikaze attacks or self-immolations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.172.155.202 (talk) 03:25, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] warning signs
Should there be a section on warning signs? There's one on teenage suicide but those signs could apply to people of all ages. Gflores Talk 21:40, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
Also a section on correlations between occupations and suicide--dentists and police officers are two groups often cited as suicide-pronme occupational groups.--Buckboard 09:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong use of word Methodology
The term Methodology is used in the design and implementation of methods in scientific research. The term has this very specific use in Psychology. It is not professional or technically correct to refer to "methodology" in the context used here. Suicidal behavior is not a methodology. Mattisse 19:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Agree. The article should be renamed. Is Epidemiology of suicide ok? There is a separate article on Suicide methods. Nurg 22:24, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks for the backup. (Finally someone agrees.) This is a totatlly inappropriate name for this article. Sincerely, Mattisse 23:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] American-biased
It's kind of funny: I was content with this edit I made in Gender Differences; until I found this article!--Cloviz 02:06, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
