Evaluate the drafted changes
Lead

The lead is concise, but does not reflect the additions. It could include an introduction of the content sections.

Content

The content added is reflective of current issues in education and specifically early childhood education. The content added focuses on the minority groups (BIPOC and LQTBQ+) with in the minority of male educators. The editor could consider adding the barrier of entry into the field in the Queer Men sections as they have done for the Men of Colour section to give a more similar look and feel as well as consistency in content coverage.

Tone and Balance

The content is neutral. It comes across very direct.

Sources and References

In the Wiki Education training modules, they suggest that direct quotes not be used. The editor used one and there are others used in the original version of the article.

"One highly influential homophobic myth that has been prevalent in early childhood educational settings (and within the broader society) is the perception of ‘homosexuals’ as paedophiles and sexual predators".

Consideration should be given to removing the quote and others from the article.

The articles cited in the Queer Men section are from 2010 and 2002. If there are more recent article on the subject perhaps the editor could consider citing from a more recent journal. In the Men of Colour section the article were more recent.

All of the links I clicked work and the articles referenced were all from peer-reviewed secondary sources.

Organization

The article is well organized. It could be noted that all the sections have bullet points except the section on Queer Men and Early Childhood Education. The added sections fit well with in the original article.

Images and Media

The image added does not detract or add from article.

Overall impressions

The additions of the Queer Men and Early Childhood Education and Men of Colour and Early Childhood Education sections are a great addition to this article and reflective of the current social and political climate.
