Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:22, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Schelling's model of segregation

The sentence you've added in this edit is problematic in several ways:

• it is incomprehensible in context (who is Sakoda? what is Sakoda's model?)
• it is added to the introduction but it does not summarize any part of the body (MOS:INTRO)
• as written, its main assertion is that Hegselmann demonstrated something; that claim seems beside the point and the source (the work of Hegselmann) is a primary source for that claim. Instead, it should be replaced by a sentence whose main assertion is about the model, for which the work of Hegselmann could serve as a secondary source.

Since the history and attribution of the model obviously merit coverage in the article, and the source appears to be a valuable addition, I would be grateful if you could correct these issues. --JBL (talk) 21:40, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Not having received a response, I've reverted your edit -- but I would very much like to discuss with you reincorporating some of this material into the article. --JBL (talk) 19:57, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Thank you please do as you wish. As pointed out by the work of Hegselmann, it is a shame that the name of Sakoda is not mentioned when discussing Schelling's model. I recently evoqued this point in a scientific conference, where the speaker did not know about the pioneering work of Sakoda. Eric Goles uses the name Sakoda when he mentions this model. I don't have any objection if this name remains in the shadow again… Baba Arouj (talk) 14:54, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Baba Arouj,

Thanks very much for your response. You raise the question of what I wish; what I wish is if you could assist in adding material to the article, using your evident expertise and familiarity with the sources, but in a way that is understandable by a reader who lacks your background knowledge and is compatible with our guidelines. If you were willing, I would be happy to workshop such an addition with you, either here on on the article talk-page -- let me know. (I have this page watchlisted, so if you repond here I will see it.)

Thanks,

Thank for kind answer JBL. If you have some time, I simply suggest that you read either Hegselmann's article or Jack McDonald's post and edit a paragraph accordingly. I've already said more or less what I had to say; I can also make a control of the result if you wish.

yours,
