LGBT symbols

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because I wanted to learn more about the symbols within the community that I did not know about. This article is important as it explains the many symbols in the community and how they connect all the people in the community and express pride in their identities. My impression of the article is that it is very long and consists of many symbols that I did not know about. I think it highlights the vastness of the community and the many different identities within it.

The article opens with a concise explanation of what these symbols mean to the community and mentions the two most common ones. The article is extensive at covering many of the symbols of the LGBTQ+ Community many of which I had never even heard of. The content is up to date and relevant to the topic. The article has a neutral tone throughout when detailing the symbols. It even discusses older symbols that may not be used anymore and symbols that were used in very specific times and places throughout history. All of the sources noted on the page are reliable sources written by a variety of authors and the links work to take you to the original source. The article in some parts is a little scattered and does not seem to have a chronological layout, but it does group similar symbols together. The images in the article are well explained and placed in relevant locations throughout the article. The talk page is limited but does have some discussion of adding in other symbols or providing more background for others. Overall this is an informative article and it is organized well. One of the main strengths is that the article covers a wide range of symbols and flags within the community. The article is slightly underdeveloped as there are several flags that are missing in the section, but it does mention many symbols that are newer.
