Youth voice

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I was interested in this article for evaluation as CRT is somewhat related to youth voice. Especially within the "Home of the Dragons" podcast covering Southlake, youth activism and youth voice was critical to pushing their movement forward. I am interested in learning more about the mechanisms of Youth Voice and the history of youth involvement in social issues.

Evaluate the article

 * 1) The initial part of the lead section was concise and accurately summed up the definition of "youth voice". Everything included in the lead is included later on in the article, but some aspects of the article such as the "criticism" section is not mentioned in the lead.
 * 2) The article addresses equity gaps by mentioning how youth voice groups together underrepresented populations of various perspectives and experiences. Youth activism as a whole seeks to include a variety of individuals of many different identities. I believe the article is a bit lopsided: there is much more information on criticism than there is about the movement itself. The content could be expanded much more.
 * 3) There is almost no bias in the article. It explains the concept and highlights critics that oppose it.
 * 4) Sources are comprehensive: mostly coming from academic or collegiate journals. One criticism is that the sources are primarily from the early 2000's and somewhat outdated.
 * 5) There are a few glaring grammar problems in the article, but the organization and subtitles are very clear. I think the article was divided in a clear and concise way.
 * 6) The choice of images, of a youth climate change march, is what immediately drew me to the article. I think the article could have been improved with more images and if the images were formatted in a more visually appealing way.
 * 7) There is little activity on the talk page and it is outdated.
 * 8) The articles strengths would be its first sentence, and inclusion of term critiques. However, more could be done to explain the concept itself. It seems underdeveloped.
