It is a fundamental blunder to use words like "current", "currently", "recent(ly)", "now", "today", etc. in an article that may or may not, and probably does NOT, contain current information. For instance:"Currently, nine states provide a prepaid tuition plan that is accepting new applicants. Those states include Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington." (aside from the lame use of "include" instead of "are"...) The problem is the two references provided were retrieved by an editor in 2010!! That's hardly "current" (May 2025). (My research shows the same 9 states are still accepting enrollees as of late 2024. It is noteworthy that of the 22 States that offered prepaid plans, 13 have closed them. Why isn't that mentioned???? Bias, obviously. It is also noteworthy that there exists a national prepaid plan for private universities - NOT run by any State. Again not mentioned. Given the popularity of 529s, I don't understand these flaws. I'm sure there're more, but I'm not well-informed on this topic. There are 3 uses (4, but one is probably ok usage) of current(ly) in this article. Fix them please. I suggest the above sentence be:"As of 2024, nine states provide a prepaid tuition plan that accepts new applicants: Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington." I'd also mention that other States have now closed prepaid plans that still honor the plans agreements.98.19.179.27 (talk) 22:07, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
