Option 1

 * Article title
 * Hashtag Activism
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is more of a list of outdated hashtags, and what their intended use was on social media, rather than a literature review on Hashtag Activism. A more detailed analysis, still somewhat limited is located in the "Slacktivism" page which is a subcategory of the concept of Hashtag Activism. I think in order for a more thorough analysis of Hashtag Activism, we need to incorporate ideas such as why it has proliferated online, and the value that this form of online activism contributes to overall discourse. For example, Hashtag Activism is still so relatively new, and there is some study on it, but as much as other established mediums of advocacy: grassroots organizing, political campaigning, lobbying etc. I think the article does a decent job outlining critiques of hashtag activism, which in my opinion should also be covered and discussed, because discourse does exist surrounding the effectiveness of social media activism.
 * I think an important gap of information that could be added to this article, is how youth have used hashtag activism as a medium for increased awareness and connectivity towards each other. Perhaps this could be created as an addition, or made into a entirely new article itself.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Call Out Culture
 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a stub article with the potential to grow so much more! It's titled "Call Out Culture", but Cancel Culture is a popular term to describe the term. Cancel culture is a form of online activism, or trend frenzy (if you can call it that) that usually starts with a hashtag that then explodes into thousands of people engaging in the hashtag to call out someone (usually a celebrity) for doing, saying, or engaging in something considered problematic by that online community.

Option 3 (New)

 * Article title
 * Youth Activism Online
 * Article Evaluation
 * I think there could be benefit for an article added to wikipedia discussing how Youth have used online communities as sources for community empowerment and collective identity. Most of the case arguments for Hashtag Activism, it's benefits and it's criticisms stem from cases in which Gen Z has traditionally not engaged with. #Kony2012, which is often cited as the beginning of hashtag activism, for engaging millions of people around the globe for the issue of militia violence in Central Africa. However the target of youth activism online, in which I want to study, is in Generation Z and not in the Millennial generation, since they have all reached adulthood. I think a more recent and evolving discourse on how Youth engage with online activism TODAY is needed, especially since social media is so volatile and changing.
