Option 1

 * Article title
 * Media portrayal of LGBT people


 * Article Evaluation
 * In the talk section, there is discussion of the bury your gays trope. I agree with the commenter and believe that this section could be further developed and expanded in the original article. I think the original article could indeed have more discussion of queerness in the media and society. I notice a lack of discussion of positive representation of queerness in the media. It is mentioned briefly in the social change section but I believe this section could be explored further.
 * This article is quite vague but it focuses mainly on sexuality. I think it would be worth it to further expand the trans and non-binary section. This page briefly discusses non-binary representation in the media but I think there is quite a lot that could be updated and added.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the LGBT community
 * Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the LGBT community
 * Article Evaluation
 * I think more could be done to explore non-binary and trans specific experiences to COVID-19 as well as mental health. I also think that this article would improve by having a mental health section and physical health section. The Background is quite vague and I think the article could be more organized. I think it would be valuable to add a section for queer and trans youth and seniors. Overall, the original article does a good job of surveying the effects on events and businesses during covid. I think sections added to focus on specific groups would be beneficial. Altnernatively, the disability section of this Wikiproject breaks down their information through social impact, educational impact, and employment impact. Organizing and sectioning the original article could help provide consistency across the sections. I think focusing on the intersections of age and disability are important when discussing how the LGBT+ community has been impacted by COVID-19.

Option 4

 * Article title Emily Dickenson or Susan Gildbert, * Less likely option because they are already highly verified wikipedia articles
 * Article Evaluation
 * The only thing I would add to these articles is the idea that Susan Gilbert and Emily Dickenson were more than friends. Scholars have made this observation before due to the exchanged letters. I think this would be a lot more difficult for the assignment, but it was my first idea because sapphic connections in history are often erased due to heteronormativity and patriarchy. I think it is important to recognize these types of connections between women. I am certain it would not work for this project, but felt it was an interesting idea. I wish more biographies included important connections people had in their lives because life is relational.
