Feedback[edit]

I'm reviewing this article as the online ambassador for Global Youth Studies (Spring 2013). This article is a great start. Here are some observations and potential areas for improvement:

As for the number of orphans, I'm seeing sources that quote a wide variety of numbers from 110,000 to 118,000 to over 700,000. Rather than listing one figure, I think it would be best to list a range and to say who is claiming each number (preferably with details on how they came to the number).
Needs more links to other articles; some that could be used: substance abuse, orphanage, domestic abuse, Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, Vladimir Putin, homeless youth
"Doubled" is probably better than "increased by 100%"
Instead of saying 'the past decade', it is better to include a specific year, as the wording will no longer be accurate in a few years.
I think it is important to mention that the Dima Yakovlev Law was, to some degree, retaliation for the Magnitsky Act.
This article has some interesting bits about orphanages discouraging adoptions as well as the average cost to the state per child
This article says that Russian orphans often suffer from rickets

Good job on starting this article. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 21:38, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Conditions in Orphanages[edit]

As part of my college course over Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities, I would like to expand this subsection to include information over the institutions used to house children with disabilities, as I am creating an article over the Institutionalization of children with disabilities. I plan to link this page to mine since the children in institutions are part of those who are also orphans. I am open to comments/ feedback.
