Hi! So you know how you just made that edit about practices of NGOs. That is where i was going with the NGOs involvement. Do you think we should combine those sections to make the article more fluid? Let me know thanks! AbbeyTurt (talk) 19:25, 25 April 2011 (UTC)AbbeyTurt[reply]

Aryn,

I don't know much about rights-based approach to development. I glanced at the article and felt a need for more information to understand the topic better. WP would welcome an augmentation of this page. My first thought was to look at human rights. When I did I noticed that the page has several templates. Do any of those templates belong on this page? Should this page be included in any of those templates? Should this page include any of the same categories that human rights does? Should the talk page have any of the same project tags on it? What about some of the tags from Talk:International development? Those things would help the article get the attention of others who are knowledgeable on the subject. I would wikify the article with links to articles such as human rights. I would attempt to expand the article. Ordinarily I would not make such a suggestion, but since the article is so short, I will. If you can make it five times as long as it is now in a 5 day period, you can take the article to get it reviewed at T:TDYK, where you may get some basic advice and the article might make the main page where many people may read it and possibly help you edit and expand it. Attempt to expand the article with inline citations. Try to cite each important fact and have at least one citation per paragraph. I will sign you up as one of my mentees and we will see where this article might go.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 21:19, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think we are in the same class and happened to pick the same topic. I just emailed our professor to see if I should switch of if we should just try and split up the information so that we both can contribute to the article. I think the way you decided to structure the article for Rights-based approach to development was a good idea. I guess I was just thinking what we should do about the edits so we both can get to 20 paragraphs. Let me know!

The content that you added was a encyclopedic. However, you need to wikify it properly. The references should be converted to proper format. I like to use the {{Cite web}} template. Also, the first sentence should be more of a declarative statement defining what the term is instead of saying what it does.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also think about wikilinking Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Human Rights Quarterly and human rights.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also spell out U.N. and link it.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:22, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is partially derived from the Four Freedoms, should that be mentioned here?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:11, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please wikify the latest content addition by finding interal wikilinks.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:45, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check on the proper name for linkage of United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and make sure it is not one of the numbered resolutions at Category:United Nations General Assembly resolutions.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:56, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know you may be in the middle of editting, but in the Capacity building section you added a paragraph with no citation. In a well-organized article each paragraph represents a new topic and needs a source.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:42, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please use a citation format that will help the reader verify the information in the article. I.e., cite specific pages instead of entire documents. I have just noticed that the whole page is using the wrong type of citation.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 19:22, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
