Changes to 'Views' section headings
edit[Please note, for transparency, there was a coding/formatting problem and I needed to delete and repost my following topic. Nothing else has been change]
I have changed the subject heading from Views, to Personal views and opinions.
I have changed the subheadings, particularly Racial issues to Views on race and racism.
Reasoning: The first change is minor, it may be better reverted to something shorter (if needed), however these views and opinions have been made in a personal context, not a political one (even though the two overlap almost to the point of being the same).
The second change prompted this. Racial issues suggests that the views described are already problematic even before reading the section text, implying a judgement of sorts. This is compared to Legal issues where an arrest, police investigation or legal case is a clearly defined problem. It might be considered leading and already gives the impression in its title that his views may be problematic (which, to me, they very much are) but I propose 'Views on race and racism' is a less subjective and a more generic way of organising and labelling sections. The text section content itself can then inform and educate the reader as to what those views are.
My only concern is adding too much bulk to the headings. Perhaps someone who can see the point I'm trying to make has a better suggestion for neutral/generic headings? Montezuma69 (talk) 13:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC Montezuma69 (talk) 13:47, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Please remove the line "In June 2024, Fox announced his engagement to [Named Person]."
This links a (presumably) living person to a controversial figure, found responsible for a serious libel and awaiting trial for criminal offences. It has been marked citation needed since March. I did find a profile describing this person, but in The Mirror. 89.243.162.142 (talk) 23:07, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
