Talk:The Real World: New Orleans (2000 season)

Second Black President

His cited bio states that he "aspires to be the first black president". Obviously, this aspiration is unlikely at this point, so either change it to "aspired", since it is possible it is no longer his aspiration, or change remove the "first". However, I don't think it's right to change it to "second", since you have no source for him aspiring to be "second". Feel free to discuss further, but for now I am changing "the second black president" to "president". Plastikspork (talk) 14:40, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Or, of course, change it back to how it was originally: "aspires to be the first", since the page reflects things at the time of filming. Plastikspork (talk) 14:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

The bio info in these articles reflects information at the time of filming (age, relationship status, etc.), with the exception of info placed at the end of each bio box regarding events having occurred after filming ended, and similar Aftermath sections near the end of the article. Thus, I think it's perfectly fine to say that he "aspires to be the first black President". This is in keeping with how MOS calls for the plot content of films, TV shows, books, etc., to be properly written in the present tense, because:

“ ...this is the way that the story is experienced as it is read or viewed. At any particular point in the story there is a 'past' and a 'future', but whether something is 'past' or 'future' changes as the story progresses. It is simplest and conventional to recount the entire description as continuous 'present'. ”

Hope that clears it up. Nightscream 23:53, 29 November 2008
