Option 1

 * Article title: Steatopygia
 * Article Evaluation: Looking at this article in class got me interested in evaluating and improving it, because, as we talked about, the article is very short and doesn't include a lot of important information. While the article does link to a separate Wikipedia page about Sarah Bartmann, the steatopygia page has no section for historical context, especially talking about the oppression of black people. As the new source linked below (Selling whiteness? - A critical review of the literature and marketing of racism) talks about, the concept of steatopygia and the research done on Sarah Bartmann was used by white people to look down on black people because they were "different." Plainly, this Wikipedia page doesn't talk about how steatopygia was used to justify racism.
 * Davis, Judy Foster. “Selling Whiteness? - A Critical Review of the Literature on Marketing and Racism.” Journal of Marketing Management, vol. 34, no. 1/2, Feb. 2018, pp. 134–77. EBSCOhost, doi.org/10.1080/0267257X.2017.1395902.

Option 2

 * Article title: Feminism
 * Article Evaluation: Like I said for the last Wikipedia assignment, the "Feminism" page doesn't include a lot about black feminism or intersectionality. The page does have links to separate "Black feminism" and "intersectionality" pages, but more of that information should be placed on this main feminism page. I think the page could benefit from taking some of the more important points on the "Black feminism" page and putting them on the general feminism page.

Option 3

 * Article title: University of Missouri
 * Article Evaluation: This article seems like it just hasn't been updated it a bit. There isn't a lot of information about the 2015-2016 Protests, but there is a link to a separate Wikipedia page detailing that incident. There is no mention of the Thomas Jefferson gravesite and statue, or the current debate over that. While that is still an ongoing issue, I do think that the page could be updated to include that.

Option 4

 * Article title: Wicked (musical)
 * Article Evaluation: There has been recent backlash over the broadway musical Wicked, particularly because the theme of the show focuses on a girl who feels ostracized and out of place because of the color of her skin, but the number of actresses of color to play that character are limited. I couldn't find any information on this Wiki page about who the first Black actress to play Elphaba is. It's also really hard to find that info, I'm pretty sure that it was Alexia Khadime, who performed the role on the West End. I think that all of this information would be valuable to add to the Wiki page, under the criticisms area, maybe.
 * This musical is also a feminist musical, but there are no sections on the Wikipedia page about the femininity context or feminist nature that the musical takes. I think it might be valuable to add a section about that.

Option 5

 * Article title: Women in the French Revolution
 * Article Evaluation: There's a play about women during the French Revolution that I think would make a good addition to this Wiki page.
