Sam's peer review for Charles

Charles you did many good things when writing your article. First thing being you took a neutral stance on the topic. You aren't bias towards or against YouTube kids and give multiple perspectives in support and against the issues. This is a very important aspect and you keep that up. Also for a first draft your article is clear and I can understand all your points. The added background information on why Youtube kids was created helps strengthen your article. I only suggest that maybe try to have the first few sentences giving background information that go into the different safety improvements. For example when you wrote "The company has worked diligently to add features to improve the safety of the environment for children. In 2015, the company developers created the Youtube kids app for multiple platforms." Possibly add that date it was created before the sentence about "The company has worked diligently". I only suggest this because it kind of changes topics then it goes back to talk about the safety measures in place. This will also allow you to have a more focused "lead" in the article. Kind of like a thesis the lead should give a basic idea of what the article is going to be about. Since you seem to be focusing on the safety measures and issues about YouTube kids make sure these topics are in your lead.

The information you have in this article is very good but I think it could be rearranged a little. For example your first paragraph talks about the background of the app and some of the new safety measures. Your next paragraph continues about safety measures and also adds insight from users. Possibly when you gain more information you could add more background into the first paragraph and then have one paragraph dedicated to the safety measures. You also state that YouTube kids has received a lot of bad reviews from parents. You do state some of the issues they have with it but I think if you added a few more reasons why it gets bad reviews it will strengthen that point. Since your last paragraph included a lot of issues people have had with the app you could maybe add what people like about the app.

I know these are rough drafts and I am sure you know but be sure to add your references in the article it self. I know you plan to add these cause I saw your talk page but just wanted to leave a reminder. Also in one of your references from common sense media seems like the reviews may be slightly bias. I am only saying this because when I clicked the reviews on the first page there were two people who wrote reviews stating how they hate how their parents make them use this. I know kids have opinions too but no kid likes when their parents adds extra safety measures and is clearly going to skew the results.

Some words you used that makes claims on behalf of unnamed groups are: "Many Parents" and "Many Reviewers" Try and back these up a little more.

If you have any questions about my review feel free to reply.

Thanks
