Currently the #5 entry for Examples of Bias in Wikipedia claims there are 21,544 entries at Wikipedia that mention suicide.  However, there is no citation for this claim.  The Conservapedia commandments state you must give your sources. Is it not cited because you can only run the stats from a Wikipedia account?  If so, how do you run that stats at Wikipedia? We should at the very least have a footnote which tells the reader how to run this stat at Wikipedia.  I don't think we should take the 21,544 on faith.  To do so would wreak havoc at Conservapedia because anyone could claim anything.  For example, does Wikipedia merely use the work suicide 21,544 times including the talk pages?  Does Wikipedia use the word suicide 21,544 times in its articles but not necessarily in 21,544 entries.  With that being said, I am going to temporarily take the 21,544 claim on faith for the sake of discussion here but I do believe that unless the entry is cited or at least some method is available to verify it that it should be removed as soon as possible.

With that being said, I believe I might have some useful information in relation to suicide and Wikipedia in relation to its claimed inordinate preoccupation with suicide.  Conservapedia mentions that Wikipedia has about 20,000 articles that mention suicide.  If Wikipedia has about 2,000,000 articles that means that 1% of its articles mention suicide if the 21,544 claim is true which is a lot.  Currently, we do not bring that out and 1% is  a high percentage.  Again, can someone tell me how you got the 21,544 figure of the number of articles that mentions suicide and can we cite this in our article so people can see it for themselves?
