Youth Offending Team was a good article candidate, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. Once the objections listed below are addressed, the article can be renominated. You may also seek a review of the decision if you feel there was a mistake.

Reasons for assessment: Length, clarity, and photos are great. Issues that should be addressed before nominating it for GA status:
- a lot of the bullets should be done away with and restructured in prose form.
- more references/citations could probably be found besides the official YOT websit to minimize any chances or perceptions of POV problems
- external links should link somewhere and be separated from references
- some minor technical errors in writing - needs to be copyedited
- disclaimer at the bottom seems excessive, since the content of the article is not suggesting a remedy to a legal/criminal justice problem
- possibly the article could be shortened to be more concise, but only if that can be done without sacrificing comprehensiveness, which IMO is one of the strengths of the article.
- could use some more wikification

I've wikified, added external links and some more references and see also's, and changed technical writing errors where I have found them, and removed many of the bullet pointed areas and changed them to prose--SGGH 12:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GA failed
As of [1] (the article during this review), I speedy failed this article for Good Article status. It's a good start, but per WP:WIAGA, the article does not use inline citations, lead is too short, stubby sections and one is "listy". Please see other GA articles for better comparison. When this article is ready, you can nominate it again. As always, when editors disagree with my reviews, you can always submit this article to WP:GA/R. — Indon (reply) — 12:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
