Suggestions to student editors
editAhewling @ahewling: I prompted ChatGPT about which of these is accurate: A) Segregation is not limited to areas in the Deep South. In New York City, 19 out of 32 school districts *have* fewer white students or B) Segregation is not limited to areas in the Deep South. In New York City, 19 out of 32 school districts *had* fewer white students
It responded: The correct option would be:
"Segregation is not limited to areas in the [[Deep South]]. In New York City, 19 out of 32 school districts have fewer white students."
This is because the verb "have" indicates a present, ongoing situation, which is appropriate if you're describing current data or a continuing trend. The use of "had" would suggest that this was the case in the past but is not necessarily true now.
Would it be possible for you to reverse or correct your edit? It should be "have" not "had." sheridanford (talk) 22:04, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Fewer white students?
editSince the edit of 06:23, 18 July 2018, there has been a claim that
19 out of 32 school districts [in New York City] have [or had] fewer white students ...
It seems that this is supposed to indicate that the schools (or "school districts"?) are segregated.
I had some trouble getting my head around this logic. So like, 49% white students would indicate it's segregated (and 51% would not)? Credit to User:021120x for calling this out with the 10 October 2022 edit adding a {{clarification needed}}.)
So I, too, am calling this out and leaving it for others to fix. Fabrickator (talk) 02:10, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
