Option 1

 * History of LGBT characters in animation
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article overview is easy to read and encompasses a general understanding of the topic and its history and impact in television. The content headings are a little disorganized, but it has good bones. The timeline of events should be their own section with subsections instead of the separate headers mixed in with the general themes about the topic. The trends section could have been divided into subheadings, it seems like the section is far too diverse to be one singular section. The focus is certainly on the history and timeline of the topic of the course of history and it is written in a neutral tone. The sources and citations are relatively good and come from a variety of sources, some being academic papers, articles by reputable magazines, however since the topic is niche, there were also blog posts and opinion pieces written by independent writers used as citations. When looking for more sources, I found an article that was word-for-word the same content as this wiki article with many of the same sources. I'm not sure whether this was written before or after the article, but it seems very suspicious.

Option 2

 * Binge-watching
 * Article Evaluation
 * Right away, the overview needs a lot of work and can include a better understanding of the article. All it has is the definition of the term "binge-watching," but nothing more. Most claims have a citation, but these claims could be updated to more recent research done about the subject, especially due to recent years and the booming success of streaming services since the pandemic. Overall, the article has good bones, but could be updated and refreshed with newer studies and more research into the phenomenon. Emphasis should be added to the scientific and health-focused aspect to the topic.

Option 3

 * Media culture
 * Article Evaluation
 * There is a banner under the Definitions section indicating that the quotations are too lengthy for an encyclopedic article and must be revised. There are some great sub-topics associated with this subject, but the organization of the headers is lacking. The sections don't seem connected and the themes could be better titled or organized in a different way. For the broadness of this topic, the information is lacking. The Notes section of the article should be switched with the References section. Based off the Talk section, this article is starter grade, but high importance for many different WikiProjects. There is a good amount of citations for the claims except for one section where some claims do not have citations, but with the addition of much-needed information, there should be more citations and sources.
