Lead
Guiding questions:


 * Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer? The updated lead provides a differentiation which is helpful to discern from social mediation system and how these two methods are different.
 * Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic? Yes, the first sentence tells what RP is
 * Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections? Yes, in the lead, it mentions the different applications and the author has started to add their input on the different elements
 * Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed? The lead is easy to read and isn't too wordy

Content
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added relevant to the topic? Yes, it is relevant to the topic
 * Is the content added up-to-date? yes
 * Does the article deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps? Does it address topics related to historically underrepresented populations or topics? Yes, there is added sections about racial gaps in school

Tone and Balance
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added neutral? It could be more neutral, it sounds like the author is pro RP
 * Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? No, but there could be more added parts about where RP falls short
 * Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? It favors RP because it only states the benefits of it.

Sources and References
Guiding questions:


 * Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? Yes
 * Does the content accurately reflect what the cited sources say? (You'll need to refer to the sources to check this.) Yes
 * Are the sources current? Yes
 * Check a few links. Do they work? Yes

Organization
Guiding questions:


 * Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read? I found the overview addition to be a bit long. Perhaps there's a way to shorten it since it is just an example.
 * Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic? Yes, the sections were mentioned in the lead and are being broken down by the author for how RP can be applied

Overall impressions
Guiding questions:


 * Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete? The article is more complete because the author has added examples which show how RP can be applied to the different scenarios. The data found was very eye opening and helpful.
 * What are the strengths of the content added? The benefits of the added portions helped to see how RP is used in the field. I have only heard of it used in court with victims, but I can see the benefits of role play and how it can help students in schools. The examples used line up with the sections.
 * How can the content added be improved? I wonder if there is a way to make it less wordy and each section seems to only be the example. You could add more neutral analysis and also provide how RP isn't effective in the same section.

Instructor Feedback
The first sentence is problematic. I’m not sure it is true and it is plagiarized from the IP website: https://www.iirp.edu/restorative-practices/explained

I suggest changing from “Restorative practices (or RP) is a social science that studies how to improve and repair relationships between people and communities”

To "Restorative Practices (or RP) is a social science field concerned with improving and repairing relationships and social connections among people."

This sentence is awkward and needs a citation: "RP are a tool that have been growing in popularity since the early 2000s…"

I suggest you rephrase it to say “RP has been growing in popularity since the early 2000s and varying approaches exist.”

Overview section. I like the way you reorganized but the prison story is too in-depth for an overview. I think it either needs a new section similar to “RP Experiences in Education”

I think the history and terminology section should be split. Just focus on history and then focus on terminology and the actual practices. Lndmayg (talk) 13:50, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
