Shouldn't "Bell" be capitalized simply because it is the first word in the sentence, regardless of stylization? <br />— [[User:Urropean|Urro]]<sup>[[User_talk:Urropean|<nowiki>[</nowiki>''talk''<nowiki>]</nowiki>]][[Special:Contributions/Urropean|<nowiki>[</nowiki>''edits''<nowiki>]</nowiki>]]</sup> ⋮ 17:39, 18 April 2024 (UTC) |

Additional section on hooks' Buddhist beliefs
I noticed that there is no mention of hook's buddhist beliefs and its influence on her life. I plan on fleshing out an entire section about her journey and experience with Buddhism as well as the specific influence it’s had on her life and her work. Buddhist thought has influenced and shown up in many of her academic and activist work. I will also include details of her identity as a Black Buddhist and its importance in her writing and personal life. I will use the article “bell hooks, Black Feminist Thought, and Black Buddhism: A tribute” [1]as well as hooks' interview with Helen Tworkov from 1992 to detail hooks’ discovery and incorporation of Buddhist theories.[2]

Consistency
The article switches from referring to her as Watkins, to referring to her as hooks. It looks really sloppy and inconsistent. We need to pick one and stick to it for the whole article. Jozsefs (talk) 11:13, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
- Actually, I think the article currently does a really good job at handling her name. Both "Watkins" and "hooks" appear in both the first sentence and the infobox, as is appropriate. Otherwise, she is only referred to as Watkins in the Early Life section, with the article switching to using hooks at the point of her adoption of the pen name and then consistently using hooks after that. All this strikes me as for the best, including for readability. CAVincent (talk) 05:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

"Bell hooks" or "bell hooks"
I understand the name is in lowercase. However, the image captions "bell hooks in October 2014", "bell hooks in 2009" and et cetera seem confusing.
Shouldn't "Bell" be capitalized simply because it is the first word in the sentence, regardless of stylization?
