Shouldn't it be "Mens' suicide", or more formally "male suicide"

I wouldn't know how to help at all, but I really want to see it when it's done. I would like to see a year by year breakdown and a racial breakdown would also be interesting. I wish it would also be possible to get a country comparison.

Anybody knows how to make graphs with open source software? These graphs by the WHO are copyrighted but the data itself is not http://www.who.int/mental_health/media/unitstates.pdf

You may also want to explain, are these suicides (sorry if this is legal redundancy) where the victim is intentionally trying to end their own life. and does it include accidentally killing themselves?

Here ye go

You may also want to differentiate between attempted and successful suicides. Women tend to attempt suicide more while men tend to succeed more.

This might be of use to you. It has some more sources on suicide as well.

I wouldn't bother. Wikipedia is really a lost cause, it's all about gaming the system by mastering their political lingo, showing your seriousness by deleting whatever you can get away with, and generally sucking up to the hierarchy.
