A kitten for you!
editHere is a kitten! I am glad you like kittens and other animals!
Hello from Dr. V
editHi, User:Brogers0922! I look forward to talking to you about your planned edits. The minors and abortion looks like it could use editing, but be sure to limit your scope. Any of your ideas would work well.
- Please review your youth studies article edit. What do you mean by the list of items you put in this sentence? How do they fit together in a list? Can you post to someone's talk page?
Response to project ideas
editHi Brogerso922,
I really liked your idea about writing something about minors and abortion. I think that there are many sources out there that could give you a lot of information on your topic because it is so controversial. Plus, there are legal procedures and law that surround this issue, so I think coming at the topic from a legal standpoint could also be interesting. Have fun choosing a topic!
Thoughts on Brooke's ideas
editHi User:Brogers0922! I am really interested in hearing more about what you mean by Community youth development. I would love to hear more about what specific lens you are thinking of, in terms of individual youth's development within the context of their community or perhaps the development of the concept of youth and what surrounds this social group within various communities? This topic sounds really fascinating but I'd like to hear more about what context you are wishing to explore the topic. After looking at the current wikipedia page for CYD, it is clear more expansion would be very useful to the page. Great start!

Project idea response
editWow! You have several different areas of interest. I think it would be fascinating to find out about Youth in Papau New Guinea or Mongolia. I have no idea how they live. I'm excited to see what you decide to do either way. :) Happy researching.
Your proposal
editHi, Brogers0922 -
You created a clear proposal that gives me a sense of what kinds of information you hope to present in your article. I appreciate your discussion of what resources you have found thus far.
What ideas for research and writing do you have given your observations of other "Youth in" pages from our course? Look at, for example Youth in South Africa and Youth in Nigeria. Also, what do articles on Mongolia have that you can link with or build on? See, for example, Demographics of Mongolia. It looks like ethnic identity might be important to search for information about.
Remember that this is primarily about youth, so that historical context would need to specifically talk about, as you note, youth experiences. Keep searching, and I encourage you to schedule an appointment with both me and with the reference librarians to see what you can find. I also hope you include demographics such as those you mention, but also whether youth are a relatively large or small portion of the population compared with other countries in the region and worldwide.

Sources
editThe correct format for your sources is the Wikipedia format, so you are on the right track there. It is good to see that you have multiple sources for some sections, having multiple sources is very helpful when writing each section. To help find more sources for each section, look at the sources the author used to write the articles, these could be potential sources for you to use. Kjatczak (talk) 22:01, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Dr. V feedback on sources
editYou did a great job on this assignment! You're ready to draft your article. As you write, you will probably look for additional sources as you see where you want to fill in. You can create a checklist of items to find information about, some of which you're done with in terms of locating sources. I like your incorporation of rural/urban contrasts and ethnicity. The next steps are:
- Looking at the Mongolian government's, UNICEF's and other global data sources to find basic statistics on youth
- Writing your first draft. I would love for you to get to as close to 2000 words as possible in your first draft, as you are already well on your way.
Some bubble tea for you!
editGreat job on your sources! Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 19:37, 20 October 2015 (UTC) |
