Merger proposal

[edit]

I'm new to this and don't know how to go about fixing the fact that this article Asset-based community development is inferior to Asset-Based Community Development The URLs are the same except for the use of capital letters. They speak to the exact same subject. The description of ABCD below has some elements that could be easily combined into the better written article, but I don't want to cut off any established links by creating deleting the page. Can you help? -- ABCDMike 20 January 2009

Thanks!
Is there a way to fix the caps of the article title? It's not a proper name, so Asset-based community development is the better name.

Update

[edit]

I have an update proposal, see here http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User:Srmjohns/sandbox. We are combining the Introduction and ABCD Institute sections and adding several new sections. We are also cleaning up the Further Readings Section and External Links section so it is more streamlined. Srmjohns (talk) 22:07, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review and responses during the educational assignment in Winter 2015

[edit]

This is really well written--very concise in the wikipedia/encyclopedia-esque manner. At some point one of the sentences has a period and no space between the next sentence, so maybe do a quick read-through and make sure every period has a space after it! I also really enjoy the visual you created--was that original? Nice job--succinctly helps to gauge what asset mapping is. It reads well and the page looks clean. --Ann Marie Elmayan Amelmayan (talk) 14:10, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

I agree that this is clean, clear, concise. I made a few small grammar and formatting suggestions, in bold. Hmhanlon (talk) 18:18, 9 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srmjohns (talkcontribs)

Critique for Spring 2017

[edit]

The current state of this article is a good starting point to expand on this article in the future. It does not have many sources, but it does make extensive use of what sources are already present. I like how this article discusses the theory that makes up this method and other related community-based efforts. However, I also had some questions for future editors to possibly cover:

  1. How has this method of community development been critiqued?
  2. Are there any real-world examples of this theory being applied?

Overall, I enjoyed reading this article and want to see someone develop it further! Ekcy (talk) 16:13, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have also added a new statement and source in the Ethics section to further explain the purpose of ABCD. Ekcy (talk) 16:43, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]


I agree that this article has a good start. The information presented is neutral and there is a good variety of sources. Including examples of successes using this method as well as comparing it more explicitly to other methods of community development would be helpful to add to the article.
