Which article are you evaluating?
(Provide a link to the article here.)Talk:African-American LGBT community

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because there has been a major issue when it comes to the inclusion of the LGBTQIA in the black community’s representation of protecting its people. Many black family ostracize their family member if they are guy while also facing the same injustices many black people face in the community.

In the article there is a lot of the authors thoughts in the beginning and not much reference to any statistics or research from other places. The author also, uses “I” many times throughout the article which makes it seem like they are really trying to push their ideas onto the reader. In the article the links that the author used had to be modified so that they are being used correctly which is an issue on the authors part. There is no use of imagery in the article which is not mandatory but it can had to the understanding in which the author is try to get across to the reader. The author did include some majorly important people in the article who are important in the LGBTQIA community such has “Laverne Cox” and “James Baldwin”.

The author missed used some of the statistics that were used in support of the the HIV rate in black men vs LGBTQIA black men. Wikipedia ask if other editors will fix this mistake so that the correct statistics will go along with this article. There is now a version of this same article with some updates to the information and more accurate statistics and research.
