The top of the article makes the claim that Greenland has the highest suicide rate "by a wide margin" but is not even listed in the countries below. I would think maybe it is because Greenland is a part of Denmark, but Denmark's numbers do not reflect Greenland being added in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.83.252.127 ( talk) 02:16, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190313-why-more-men-kill-themselves-than-women would suggest that women attempt suicide at similar rates to men but are less successful. I suggest changing this clause to say "men are more at risk of death by suicide than women" or something to that effect. Intilyc ( talk) 19:48, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I moved a few countries in the tables to have them in alphabetical order by default. I could not see any reason to have the table so very nearly alphabetical, and not perfectly so (it looks initially like South Korea is not in the list, for example, and one is not inspired to sort it because it already looks sorted). I see from the top table that this is likely related to their names starting with Republic (e.g., Republic of Moldova). But in the top table, it does not give the full name, only Moldova (e.g.), in an alphabetically out of order (in terms of what actually appears, and where you would be looking for the country) location. I would like to fix the top table, too, but I see things are based on the flagg template and I am not familiar with it, so was hoping someone with more knowledge on this could do it, or tell me how. I can see that we could perhaps just cut the "Republic of" parts, but is there a better way? Cheers! DoctorMatt ( talk) 22:13, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
The historical tables which track the years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 are pretty unreadable and seem like data dumps to me. If there's some interesting trend going on then editors need to pick them out and write them down, or make a graph. Wizmut ( talk) 17:33, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
The numbers for change % in suicide between 2000 and 2019 don't add up at all. I dont even know how they were calculated and don't know how to edit or import a table to fix them. Adolphitus ( talk) 21:36, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
