External Links[edit]

Hello! I was reviewing the lead section and I believe you need to work on providing the exact location in the external links where those citations are present. Take for example for the definition of street child in India:"for whom the street (in the widest sense of the word, including unoccupied dwellings, wasteland, etc.) has become his or her habitual abode and/or source of livelihood; and who is inadequately protected, supervised, or directed by responsible adults”. But I could not find the definition in the external link mentioned for the same.Same applies to other links as well. I will get back to you in a week. Thanks.

GA Review[edit]

Hi, the article needs to work upon on the following points:

1) In the section mentioned above, I have queried about the exact location of the definition of the street child in the external link. However, it hasn't been worked upon. It violates the Factually accurate and verifiable property of the good article criteria.

2) The lead section of the article is inadequate and needs expansion. It violates the manual of styles for the lead section of the well written criteria of a good article.

3) Please act upon the link no 1 in the references section. The external link is the home page of a website. However, specific locations or pointers are needed to verify the claims.

The article was put on hold for more than a week, awaiting user inputs. But, no comments were received. I believe these should be worked upon before re-nominating the article for GA. The article is close to the GA.
