Difference between ITV (TV channel) and ITV (TV network)[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians.

This is more of a rant, but I was looking through the article, and in the Media Appearances section, she was on "Dancing on Ice" and "Surprise Surprise" but ITV was wikilinked twice, which I thought was strange. The first one is too the the page ITV (TV Channel) which I deduced was one specific channel that covers most of England, and the other one ITV (TV Network) which I think is a channel group that, through three channels, covers all of the UK. I am not British, so could someone smarter than me explain the difference, maybe more clearly that I just did? Thank you! Champ9642358 (talk) 03:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the link to the network from the article. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 11:18, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is this supposed to mean? Also, it was fixed.

Capitalization of 'black'[edit]

There's clearly an inconsistency in the article concerning the capitalization of the word 'black' which should be solved, specially since it is a featured article. The capitalization itself seems to be a rather controversial topic nowadays, so I thought best to open a discussion on the talk page. After searching the Internet a bit, the capitalization does not appear to be backed by any major guide apart from 'AP Stylebook', since 2020, which guides the usage of America English. But with the article using British English, the most authoritative source I found is the one from the British government which suggests using the uncapitalized version. Does anybody know better than that or has some kind of editorial consensus been reached on the topic previously? Saksapoiss (talk) 01:12, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at MOS:RACECAPS, and there's a footnote there about the history of the debate if you want more info. Popcornfud (talk) 16:00, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Photos[edit]

Unclear why there are photos of white javelin throwers at all, this does not add useful information, especially that these photos are more prominent than the black woman that the article is about…. 2601:643:4002:BCD0:48FA:6CB5:A495:4CCB (talk) 22:36, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ruth Fuchs[edit]

Can someone explain to me what the photograph of Ruth Fuchs adds to to this article? Not sure why another athlete's picture is on this article at all? --dashiellx (talk) 23:53, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
