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.
