Talk:Youth offending team

Youth offending team was one of the Social sciences and society good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

Article milestones
Date	Process	Result
April 14, 2007	Peer review	Reviewed
April 14, 2007	Good article nominee	Listed
September 21, 2007	Good article reassessment	Delisted

Current status: Delisted good article

Reasons for assessment: Length, clarity, and photos are great. Issues that should be addressed before nominating it for GA status:

a lot of the bullets should be done away with and restructured in prose form.
more references/citations could probably be found besides the official YOT websit to minimize any chances or perceptions of POV problems
external links should link somewhere and be separated from references
some minor technical errors in writing - needs to be copyedited
disclaimer at the bottom seems excessive, since the content of the article is not suggesting a remedy to a legal/criminal justice problem
possibly the article could be shortened to be more concise, but only if that can be done without sacrificing comprehensiveness, which IMO is one of the strengths of the article.
could use some more wikification

I've wikified, added external links and some more references and see also's, and changed technical writing errors where I have found them, and removed many of the bullet pointed areas and changed them to prose--SGGH 12:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA failed[edit]

As of [1] (the article during this review), I speedy failed this article for Good Article status. It's a good start, but per WP:WIAGA, the article does not use inline citations, lead is too short, stubby sections and one is "listy". Please see other GA articles for better comparison. When this article is ready, you can nominate it again. As always, when editors disagree with my reviews, you can always submit this article to WP:GA/R. — Indon (reply) — 12:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Passed[edit]

This article passed the GA nomination, it is now a Good Artilce after meeting the Good Article Criteria and the WP:LE review and has been improved by the author, lets hope it can be FA status next! Dep. Garcia ( Talk | Help Desk | Complaints ) 12:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review — delisted[edit]

In order to uphold the quality of Wikipedia:Good articles, all articles listed as Good articles are being reviewed against the GA criteria as part of the GA project quality task force. Unfortunately, as of September 21, 2007, this article fails to satisfy the criteria, as detailed below. For that reason, the article has been delisted from WP:GA. However, if improvements are made bringing the article up to standards, the article may be nominated at WP:GAC. If you feel this decision has been made in error, you may seek remediation at WP:GA/R.

The reasons:

1) The generally insufficiant number of inline references;

2) An awful Glossary in the end (see Wikipedia:Embedded_list);

- I agree, I have removed the glossary. A) it is uncecessary, ugly and so on, and secondly it is a glossary of Youth Justice. Youth Offending Team is part of Youth Justice, which is a larger umbrella organisation. They are not the same thing. SGGH ^speak! 21:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3) Clean-up tag;

- There isn't one anymore. SGGH ^speak! 21:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Resumed for discussion on Referral Orders Best Practice & A_Z Jargon Buster[edit]

The whole article is tainted by inaccuracy and naivety[edit]

I assume it was written by a Somerset student as a project or something, but whatever the reason it's simply not good enough to represent the work undertaken by YOTs. How can we expect service users, sentencers and partner services to take us seriously as a profession if we offer this level of misinformation?

Unfortunately I haven't the time or wiki-skills to rewrite it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.249.232.64 (talk) 18:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
