What ratio?
There is a note that says, "The ratio, according to Variety, is 53% to 47%." What ratio? This note isn't tied to anything in the text. My initial inclination would have been to just delete the note, but perhaps someone can clarify it and tie it to the text it relates to. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:26, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * See this edit, where the text the note was tied to was deleted. Since the underlying text is gone, I just removed the note too. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:34, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Historically Relevant Diversity
It is worth nothing that this account of People magazine does not note the lack or racial and gender diversity within their “Sexiest Men Alive”, “Sexiest Woman Alive”, or “100 Most Beautiful People” lists. It is only more recently (beginning with Denzel Washington in 1996, then beginning again in 2016 with Dwayne Johnson) that we are seeing people of color included in the list of “Sexiest Men Alive”; additionally, that there has only been one “Sexiest Woman Alive” is also an important thing to highlight within this article; that the woman is white and this only occurred in 2014 even more so. The same lack of diversity is within the list of “100 Most Beautiful People”; the overwhelming majority of which are white. It’s not until 2003 when Halle Berry is chosen that we see any kind of racial diversity. Even after Berry is chosen, the only other people of color on the list are Beyoncé (2012) and Lupita Nyong’o (2014). The editorial staff is also overwhelming white. In understanding the history of People magazine it’s important to note who has been featured and who has not by the magazine, especially considering their widespread viewing. This is not representative of a universal beauty standard; this is representative of a Western beauty standard. Beyond this apparent lack of diversity, what about the LGBTQIA+ representation within these lists and the people represented on their covers? ZMM03 (talk) 16:13, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Comment: Royal Princess Cover - April, 2024
ON THE COVER AND IN THE ARTICLE YOU REFER TO HER MAJESTY AS 'PRINCESS KATE' - DO YOU NOT KNOW HER REAL NAME IS 'CATHERINE' - AND 'KATE' IS MERELY A NICKNAME.....LISTEN TO KING CHARLES WHO ALWAYS REFERS TO HER AS PRINCESS CATHERINE. IT JUST SEEMS YOU UNDERMINE HER AND HER TITLE BY NOT USING HER PROPER NAME......WISE UP PEOPLE MAGAZINE! 70.173.17.12 (talk) 00:35, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
