Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that the issue still exists on the latest versions of the docs on main here

Location of the documentation

https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/getting_started/intro_tutorials/01_table_oriented.html

Documentation problem

In the example data of the Titanic passengers, the titles are all listed with a period after them. For Miss and Master, this is incorrect because these titles aren't short for anything.

Suggested fix for documentation

Replace Miss. with Miss and Master. with Master

Places to make changes:

  • the tutorial text
  • the csv file
  • the screenshot of a spreadsheet containing the data

I don't see an option to assign the issue to myself, but I can do it.
