Feedback from Dr. V
Hi, User:MHDU. Great job getting started. Your edit to the emerging adulthood page was useful and brought new information. You gave details on your user page about what articles interested you. Since the school-to-prison pipeline article needs almost complete rewriting and is a very important topic, this might be a fruitful avenue to pursue. What do you think?Prof.Vandegrift (talk) 04:11, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Feedback from Parker Stinski
Hi, User:MHDU. I really like the idea of editing school-to-prison pipeline and Teen court. I am a little confused as to how the page on Youth in Guatemala are all connected though. Do you plan on examining the School-to-prison pipeline in Guatemala? Other than that, I think your project has great potential. I think if you decide to examine that relationship, it could be very interesting. Parkerstinski (talk) 17:35, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Reply to Parker Stinski
Parker Stinski, thank you for the feedback! I am not particularly interested in combining School-to-prison pipeline and Youth in Guatemala. I have two separate interests in these topics. I will consider combining these ideas but to me, they are most intriguing separately. Have a great night.

Ello Mate!
Hello User:MHDU,

I think the topic of school-to-prison pipeline sounds really interesting. Especially because there is this image that youths are these devious beings who have to rebel and such. So really unique topic! I like it! Hope it goes well if you end up doing that topic. Otherwise Teen court could be cool. I wonder what your interest in Guatemala is, but that would also have an unique lens to it.

Wishing you luck, Amrogers (talk) 04:03, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Proposal Feedback
Hi, MHDU -

I'm glad you're working on this topic. 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.

Remember that this is primarily about youth, so that malnutrition might be a topic for the Health section of the Guatemala article. I would suggest looking for sources on violence, ethnic identity, and post-war trauma as particular concepts to develop in your article. Last year, some good edits to crime in Guatemala were done by User:Mhxelamh. YOu might check out his proposal and the work he did by looking at his user page.

Education will also be a standard section, which you can research and link to the main article on Education in Guatemala. I recommend searching for sources rather than planning to write based on your experiences when you traveled. It is difficult to know how parents value education (or not).

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.
