Comment on the title

This is definitely a great contribution to this encyclopedia, because this topic is quite central to several conspiracy theories and related thoughts.

I do have a comment about the title itself, though. The word "suicided" is some past tense of the verb, whereas the noun -- which I at least right now am thinking is probably the better title for this article, then -- is "suiciding". So I think moving this article to a new title should be considered. In addition I would add something I have commented on regarding a few other articles: the article is not about a term, but about what the term points to. Which can possibly also be explained this way: tinWiki is not a dictionary, but an encyclopedia. Therefore the introductin or first sentence should not be "Suicided is a term in the conspiracy theory world"..., since, like I say, this article is not about any term. Instead the first sentence should be something like "Suiciding is murder done in such a way that it should look like the murdered person committed suicide. Suspicions and allegations that some alleged suicides are in fact murders of this kind, are especially widespread in the conspiracy theory world." The difference should be to start the article by talking about the phenomenon/object/topic, not by talking about the word or the term. These are minor comments, though, that just relate to the title and to (half) of the first sentence. :-) Congratulations to the contributor. This is definitely a great addition to tinWiki.

Moved the article to a new page/title, and also changed the first sentence, according to my post (above). Optimist 18:14, 7 July 2008 (CDT)
