Option 1

 * Homosexuality in China
 * Homosexuality in China


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does tackle one of Wikipedia's equity gaps as it addresses intersectionality and minority groups with homosexuality in East Asia. This page also has citations for most of the claims, although many claims are disputable according to the authors, and a few are missing specific citations even though they are attributed as coming from research/studies. The article is also not fully fleshed out as it includes early historical records of homosexuality and contemporary/recent events, but with nothing in between those two periods. There is also little information about women's sexuality and/or how it has been oppressed overtime.

Option 2

 * Geraldine Roman
 * Geraldine Roman


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article tackles Wikipedia's equity gap as it features a transgender Asian politician and journalist. The page has citations for most of the claims, but there are a few missing ones. There is also information that can be added/updated as Geraldine Roman continues to be an active member of the Philippines Congress in 2021. Some of the information provided in the article is also not very descriptive, like the headers and the "House Measures Authored" section. The wording of the article could also flow better.

Option 3

 * Jimmie R. Yee
 * Jimmie R. Yee


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is missing a picture of the subject when there are pictures of the politician available on the internet. There are a few citations, but several of the claims in the biography, life, and career sections are missing specific, in-text citations. Although Jimmie R. Yee no longer serves on the Board of Advisors, there is still additional, updated information that could be added to the article. For example, there is information about a park dedicated to him along with a collection of of letters and awards given to him over the years.

Option 4

 * Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019
 * Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article also addresses Wikipedia's equity gap as it looks at a ruling in India that recognizes transgender citizens. However, there is new information from 2021 that could be used to update and substantiate the claims made in the article. For example, the article could touch up more on the grievances of those protesting against the 2019 transgender act. In the first paragraph that defines the ruling, there are also missing citations, even though there are many hyperlinks that lead to other relevant wikipedia articles.
