Welcome!

Hi, User:Collaboration0826! You did a good job editing and copy editing your work. I like the rationale for your article edit project. You ask some questions that can be investigated empirically through a look at different kinds of data. The juvenile justice system needs a global perspective, as well as a firm hand in rewriting what's already there. Have you begun to look at specific articles or to consider a specific new article to propose? Cheers! Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 04:51, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Good start to proposing your article project! Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 04:52, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Project Interests

Jamie,

Your discussion of your topic interests on your user page is incredible, I love that you know exactly what you want to study and do research on. Is there a specific page you were thinking of creating? Or were you leaning towards editing a pre-existing page? Your ideas are so specific, but also so applicable, I feel like there is so much room to explore and maybe do both! I can't wait to see the work that you do!

Hi Jamie!

I think your topic ideas are very well developed and extremely interesting. I think that your ideas could encompass many different articles, so you have many different ways you could take this idea. I cannot wait to read more about what you find through research as I am very passionate about these issues as well. Nataliedeerr (talk) 20:12, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Your proposal

Hi, Collaboration0826!

I see three major components to your proposal: adding significant data, revising the article so it is from a NPOV, and adding a global perspective. As we've mentioned, a global perspective includes both examples from outside of the the U.S. and also a global framing of the topic.

If after doing your research, you find that this is unique or almost unique to the United States, it is fine to revise the article so that readers will understand the particularities of our national context. This is combating systemic bias through making the U.S. a particular example rather than using language that assumes that the term "School to prison pipeline" applies in all contexts.

The title change and the plans to work on South Africa as a case are bot thoughtful. I also like the idea of presenting different views on the theory, including scholarly critiques of the idea that you mention. While you cannot "argue" in a WP article, the ideas you lay out will become part of your outline for revisions.

I do not yet have a sense of sources you have found on the topic. I look forward to reading the bibliography. As you post sources, please write a bit about what each source says and how it contributes to your potential revisions. What do you have, and what are you still looking for? Ideally, you could also inform a reader how the sources you end up with will shape the revision plans you mention in your proposal.

Please edit your user page so there is a hyper link to the article you're editing. Cheers, Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 02:17, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Sources feedback

Hi - As you work to write your draft, your project will both improve the article and answer the question "how is the U.S. unique as a nation in its practice of the school to prison pipeline?" Your sources will help you achieve both goals. You're ready to draft your article. As you write, I encourage you to create and outline and a checklist of what you still need information about. You will probably look for additional sources The next steps are:

• Creating an outline
• Locating doi numbers for all sources and placing references in WP format, creating a reference page and correct formatting of references in your sandbox
• Writing your first revision draft. Through working through this, you will get a sense of what kind of information you still need to locate.
