Section ordering
I think it would be more logical to put the history section before the "perspectives" / "alternative terms" sections - mainly because the history provides a lot of important context, so anyone reading through the article top-to-bottom would be best served by reading that first to understand the historical context before reading about the current perspectives and various alternative terms that have been proposed/utilised. Any thoughts on that? WaggersTALK 09:26, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree entirely. Generally, the "Reception" section comes towards the end of a Wikipedia page. I made a similar point about the introduction needing a re-order too (here), though I would prefer a wholesale rewrite and may attempt one in future.

- Generally the convention is the lead follows the structure of the article, so yep if we change one we should change both. WaggersTALK 07:30, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
- I have rearranged the sections but have not altered the introduction (yet). The wisest fool in Christendom (talk) 21:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
