Help me! edit

Please help me with... Press guidelines in most English speaking countries frown on using the term "committed suicide" and prefer the term "death by suicide". I don't know if Wikipedia has adopted this policy, or even has a policy. I just edited the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner page, and I wasn't sure if I should add something to the talk page, or if it would be understood why I updated the wording.

There have been several dozen discussions about this and generally the accepted term on Wikipedia is "committed suicide". You can find them by searching the various noticeboards in Wikipedia project space. Praxidicae (talk) 14:48, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
Here are a few discussions: [1][2]. Additionally the sources in particular for this article say "committed" suicide, not died by suicide. Praxidicae (talk) 14:52, 9 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
