Hi Doris,
Here are some some suggestions for further improvements to your encyclopedia entry draft:
* You might flesh out the intro section a bit more, providing a more comprehensive overview of what the whole entry is about. On that note, you should replace the Microsoft stuff in the infobox with basic info about RTV.
* The "History" section looks like it's off to a good start, though you might divide it into subsections to make its structure more apparent to readers. You might also include more specific information -- e.g. Which "members of the recording industry" were involved in the founding? What did youth voter turnout stats look like around 1990?
* The "Current objectives and activities" section is very short.
* In addition to listing RTV's current officers in the "Organizational structure" section, you might discuss its leadership roles and their responsibilities in more general terms. You might also say a little bit about its membership beyond the leadership level.
* The "Achievements" section could be more detailed. It might be nice to include a table with youth voting statistics to help demonstrate the extent to which it's gone up since RTV got off the ground.
* The "Public perceptions and controversies" section raises some interesting points; one thing that might help make them more compelling is to be more specific in naming sources of criticism and opposition. For example, you mention "another opposition group" -- you might as well say which group it was (and provide a source for its allegation).

Hi Doris,

Here are some some suggestions for further improvements to your encyclopedia entry draft:

  • You might flesh out the intro section a bit more, providing a more comprehensive overview of what the whole entry is about. On that note, you should replace the Microsoft stuff in the infobox with basic info about RTV.
  • The "History" section looks like it's off to a good start, though you might divide it into subsections to make its structure more apparent to readers. You might also include more specific information -- e.g. Which "members of the recording industry" were involved in the founding? What did youth voter turnout stats look like around 1990?
  • The "Current objectives and activities" section is very short.
  • In addition to listing RTV's current officers in the "Organizational structure" section, you might discuss its leadership roles and their responsibilities in more general terms. You might also say a little bit about its membership beyond the leadership level.
  • The "Achievements" section could be more detailed. It might be nice to include a table with youth voting statistics to help demonstrate the extent to which it's gone up since RTV got off the ground.
  • The "Public perceptions and controversies" section raises some interesting points; one thing that might help make them more compelling is to be more specific in naming sources of criticism and opposition. For example, you mention "another opposition group" -- you might as well say which group it was (and provide a source for its allegation).
