You got it done![edit]

Hi, Unbroken14. Congrats on getting your first assignment done. Can you please write a few sentences (no more than three) about what kinds of topics you'd like to research? This will help us give you feedback about where to look for articles in WP and resources at the library. Glad you're along for the ride! P.S. Can you fix the typo in your username and create a link to our course page? Thanks! Happy Weekend. Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 22:20, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Topic Feedback[edit]

Hi, Unbroken14! I think you have a great start with ideas for pages to edit this semester. I really think your background sounds like it will be helpful you with your work. It seems like something you're passionate about! Enjoy the weekend and I look forward to seeing your work progress this semester! RunIowa (talk) 04:32, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cool[edit]

Hey I really like the topics you're interested in. Very interesting stuff. 12thManSeaFan (talk) 03:38, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Saying Hey[edit]

Hey, Unbroken 14. I love that you're exploring the topic of summer camps; I think they are a very understudied institution in sociology! Macmaclee (talk) 20:49, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi![edit]

Your topic is very creative. Summer camps are so common today and I think the correlation between summer camp and education, etc. will be very interesting to read and write about! Good luck. Marrosann (talk) 18:12, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal Feedback[edit]

I completely agree that having a clear understanding of the population is important before you get into the main part of the article. I would also suggest including two or three really central/unique issues of Brazilian youth in the lead in of your article. This way, you can create links to other pages right away and also give a viewer a quick glance at the experience of being a young person in Brazil. The lead in may even be a good place to introduce Favelas. (But of course, elaborate more on it later.)

Someone last year created a new article about Youth in Denmark. I know you said you were going to look at the Youth in Uganda page, but seeing what someone did in a previous semester may give you an idea about realistic goals and structuring.

This is advice that I left for Hatigges on her page about starting a new article that I think will also be super helpful for you:

It may also be useful to talk about the institutional structure of things like the education and the legal system. When can people vote? Join a political party? How many years are there of required schooling? I think that answering questions like this will help give readers a context for all the statistics and information you’re requiring. Like, imagine if someone didn’t know that you couldn’t vote in the United States until you were 18. Wouldn’t it seem like youth were really politically apathetic?

I know coding can be a really challenging part about Wikipedia, so it might be helpful if you find a structure for a Wikipedia article on youth that you like and want to mimic and to copy and paste the article into your sandbox (deleting their information and leaving the bare bones).

A kitten for you![edit]

HI, UB14 - Congratulations on getting your proposal and sources posted. Abbey provided you some good feedback. I also recommend that you work in your sources to include more on youth, particularly about education and work. How will you use the general sources you cite? Information from the Adolescence in Latin America article we read could also help you. I think I mentioned the book Youth & the City in the Global South. It has good information on youth in Brazil.

When you have time, could you please update your proposal for typos and also to reference the Youth in Denmark article you will be using instead of the Uganda one.

Keep up the great work, and consult with me as needed.

Youth in Brazil[edit]

Wow, congratulations on your work on the article Youth in Brazil, well done! I see you are relatively new to Wikipedia, hope you decide to keep editing even after your studies are complete. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 19:39, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
