You can cite like this:
{{cite web | url = | last = | first = | title = | work = | publisher = | date = | format = | doi = | accessdate = }}
or like this:
{{cite news | last = | first = | coauthors = | title = | newspaper = | location = | pages = | language = | publisher = | date = | url = | accessdate = }}
Currently, almost all of the citations are bare links, which is not good enough. We need to use proper citations style as above. (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 03:35, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
A lot of these webpage URLs have changed in recent years, so please reload each page before properly citing it to make sure that the page has not been moved or deleted. (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 03:47, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
The article claims a temporary 70% increase on the average number of suicides following her death. Even if this diversion is significant (i.e. if it's not normal for the suicide rate to fluctuate to a similar degree from month to month), this does not mean that it was "triggered" by Choi's suicide. Correlation does not imply causation, and we don't even have correlation here - just a single event. The Washington Post reference said something about "sympathetic suicides"... is there any evidence to back this up? Destynova ( talk) 10:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
The Chosun Ilbo posted an article in January 2013 [1]reviewing the results of a study released by Statistics Korea, a Korean government agency that stated, "That the increase is often due to copycat suicides is also evidenced by the number of people who kill themselves in the same way as the celebrity. In the two months before Choi hanged herself in 2008, 437 and 477 did the same, accounting for about 40 percent of all suicides. But the figures jumped to 1,197 people or 66.2 percent in October, the month Choi killed herself, and 772 or 61.5 percent the following month." In other words, the issue is not simply an increase in the number of people committing suicide immediately after a celebrity suicide but an increase in the number of suicides in which the method of suicide matches that of the celebrity. In the matter of Choi's suicide, in the two months before her suicide, about 40% of the suicides were by hanging but in the two months after her suicide, over 60% of the reported suicides were by hanging.
