Youth mentoring I like your idea of adding to the sections that are on the specialized approaches of mentoring, specifically the community based sector. I agree that this section could use more development, and with the addition of relevant sources, you can make this section really strong! In your Evaluating articles and sources section you mentioned that the article needs more examples, cases, and programs in order to strengthen it. Are you planning on finding examples for multiple sections or just the community based sector section? Which other sections of the article pertain to your topic that you could build on? Also, will you be focusing on the United States, or are you thinking of bringing information from other countries into this article?

Racial inequality in the United States For this article, I think focusing on building the education section is a great idea. It seems pretty short, so I think you would be able to contribute a lot to it, especially on the education gap. You're right about the education gap being a huge factor that influences racial inequality in the US, so I think that finding strong sources on this topic will provide a lot of depth to the whole article. I also appreciate your conscious effort to find non-biased sources. It's important to remain neutral so finding a balance of sources is a good idea. Are there any other sections in the article that seem related to your PE? Or maybe an additional article, like the Racial achievement gap in the United States, that also seems to be lacking or have biased viewpoints in it? You could consider making some edits to this page as well, given that it will be similar to the education section. Other than that, it looks like you have really great ideas for you editing!

Youth mentoring I really value knowing more about the different types of youth mentoring, such as community based mentoring. I am also very excited to learn about different countries and their approach to youth mentoring. It seems that your research so far is mostly fact based, is that for Youth mentoring and Racial inequality also? You have a lot of very interesting quotes about Big Brother/Big Sister program and about youth who have mentoring have higher rates of social benefits and whatnot. These seem more qualitative than the other facts, but also just as useful. How are these social benefits measured, and what do they mean?

Racial inequality in the United States I agree with your thinking: that a lot stems from education and that it is a fundamental area to focus on, which is why its great you chose that part of this article to focus on. I also like the progress you have made with teachers being culturally responsive, and the lack of white teachers able to teach and understand race, as the study in Holland showed. It might be interesting to see specifically some different schools who implement culturally responsive teaching with those that don't monitor it as much, and compare those. Or to see how these teachers in Holland who were not culturally responsive, what effect they had on the students themselves.

Overall, you have very interesting topics and it is all very interesting and needed on Wiki! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mizmind (talk • contribs) 06:24, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Rebecca, nice job so far. You have very important statistics listed in the drafting section that show the efficacy of your PE org for its students. I hope they are fully cited as you move on to the contribution stage. Sasha and Emily said it all above! So far, you have a neutral tone, in my opinion, which is great. It is difficult to avoid sounding too praising or overly critical of an institution especially when it comes to education, as I personally struggle with making my PE org look too good. I think it it good to incorporate the parts where you mention that funding can pose an issue. However, this part may be the most controversial section for future readers, so just be weary.
