Talk:Refugee children

Suggestions

References is a section, it's not just in bold. I don't think you need the bibliography section, just make sure the final doesn't have it. I think your using it to fill in your references section? I suggest combining your references, using the method I showed you before, through email. Also there are some that are not numbered using wiki format. You also can probably take out the introduction in access to healthcare, and access to education. I guess its still ongoing so feel free to work on it incrementally.

Edit: This might also be useful Help:Footnotes. It says that Ibid is discouraged and has a better example of multiple-citation references. Ongjf (talk) 07:39, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Article title does not meet Wikipedia policy

I just stumbled on this page yesterday. This article's title does not meet Wikipedia policy.

May I suggest that this page be moved to "Mental health of refugee children" to abide by Wikipedia's policies? This isn't a book. Hill Crest's WikiLaser (Boom). (talk) 12:19, 23 April 2012 (UTC), an uninvolved normal contributor on Wikipedia

I moved it anyway because I was bold. Hill Crest's WikiLaser (Boom). (talk) 22:52, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Issues

This article has tone issues. It is written like a class paper and not like and encyclopedia article. Please remember that NPOV is one of the core values of wikipedia. Your job is not to argue a point. It is just supposed to show the raw facts with no original interpretation. cheers --Guerillero | My Talk 19:55, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Impact of recent student edits

This article has recently been edited by students as part of their course work for a university course. As part of the quality metrics for the education program, we would like to determine what level of burden is placed on Wikipedia's editors by student coursework.

If you are an editor of this article who spent time correcting edits to it made by the students, please tell us how much time you spent on cleaning up the article. Please note that we are asking you to estimate only the negative effects of the students' work. If the students added good material but you spent time formatting it or making it conform to the manual of style, or copyediting it, then the material added was still a net benefit, and the work you did improved it further. If on the other hand the students added material that had to be removed, or removed good material which you had to replace, please let us know how much time you had to spend making those corrections. This includes time you may have spent posting to the students' talk pages, or to Wikipedia noticeboards, or working with them on IRC, or any other time you spent which was required to fix problems created by the students' edits. Any work you did as a Wikipedia Ambassador for that student's class should not be counted.

Please rate the amount of time spent as follows:

• 0 -No unproductive work to clean up
• 1 - A few minutes of work needed
• 2 - Between a few minutes and half an hour of work needed
• 3 - Half an hour to an hour of work needed
• 4 - More than an hour of work needed

Please also add any comments you feel may be helpful. We welcome ratings from multiple editors on the same article. Add your input here. Thanks! -- LiAnna Davis (WMF) (talk) 20:23, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Article Suggestions

Currently, the article Mental health of refugee children only presents a Eurocentric view of the experiences of refugee children. In the Access to Education section the experiences of Vietnamese refugees are described in detail, however, this description is limited and very narrow in scope and depth. I do not think the educational experiences of refugees are accurately represented from a global perspective in Wikipedia. Would it be beneficial to expand upon this specific section and to include the experiences of other refugee populations in the United States? There are a lot of existing scholarly sources and articles available on this topic outside of Wikipedia. Here are some of the sources I am considering using to expand this article:
