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)
Excellent stuff, the article flows much better now. WaggersTALK 07:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
