[edit] National Safe Place

self nominated. This article is about a non profit organization that strives to provide at-risk youth with the resources they need to become functional adults. It is a national network that really needs more attention, thus the article should be posted to help educate the general population about this vital service. Nmejias 19:57, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Oppose and urge withdrawal. Articles that are nomination for FAC need to meet the featured article guidelines. Please see WP:FACR for more. The article is poorly written, and as the tag on the top of the article indicates, it appears to be quite confusing and needs a thorough copyediting and possibly a rewrite. Also, the article does not seem to conform to the Manual of Style. The page layout is awkward, and there appears to be some irrelevant topics in the article (the whole Teen Topics section). The endorsements section should probably be removed and replaced with a section called "Criticism", which should then cover both the positives and negatives of the National Safe Place.
