= Evaluating an Article = The article I chose to evaluate was Guild Wars 2, an article regarding an online MMORPG I've played in the past. Looking at the talk page, the article itself is C-Class, indicating that it is likely fairly detailed and well-written. The lead section is detailed, explaining the basics of the game and the different mechanics therein. It also previously mentions the game's predecessor, Guild Wars.

The article is well-structured and contains many subsections, specifically Gameplay, Plot (Setting and Story), Development, (Post-launch development, Introduction of the Living Story, Living World Season 2, Heart of Thorns Expansion, Living World Season 3, Path of Fire expansion, Living World Season 4), Reception, and, finally, References. Each of the aforementioned sections had about the same amount of content, and was written in a neutral tone of voice,-- though knowing of the criticisms GW2 has received, I might elaborate more on their inclusion of lootboxes and the negative reaction they evoked. With 72 citations thus far, the reference section is extensive, and the references themselves seem credible.

= Potential Topics = There are a few articles I'm currently considering: Gray asexuality, Feminist views on transgender topics, Transmisogyny, and Homophobic propaganda. Gray asexuality and Feminist views on transgender topics are both C-Class rated articles, which was what first prompted me to add them-- Transmisogyny has not been rated, and Homophobic propaganda has been designated as Start-class. All of these topics are of great interest to me: being a gray ace, I am deeply interested in expanding common knowledge on asexuality. Being trans, I'm especially interested in feminism in regards to trans people (TERFs especially) and transmisogyny in relation to to trans women. Finally, homophobic propaganda is, of course, of interest because I am a queer man attracted to other men. Homophobic propaganda likely has the least information out of all the listed articles, and 'does not represent a worldwide view of the subject'. Feminist views on trans topics has lended 'undue weight' to radical feminist views on trans women-- but that could also be a little bit of a conflict of interest what with me being trans. I think I'm leaning most towards propaganda.

= Proposed Article Edits = Homophobic propaganda

[add subsection Spain in the Law category]

Spain's antidiscrimination laws ban hate speech in regards to sexual orientation and gender identity since 1995. Discrimination, hate, or violence on the premise of either of the aforementioned factors is punishable by up to three years in prison.

Adding onto the Nazi Germany section (change the title to “Nazi” Germany also, not just Germany)

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/002200949703200204?casa_token=Qv0P8r1ZZMYAAAAA:wop4KIAfJM_QgEJSBjTimT_2pXKLHfU-9QHvAdt0-6Z45DIN6dkXAlM5ftVIIh8--pALK8IBAKgL8A

“Categorized as a ‘biocracy’ by Maastricht University professor Harry Oosterheis, the Nazi regime was primarily concerned with the fact that homosexual men could not bear offspring-- and therefore could not ultimately contribute to the spread of the Aryan race. Though homosexuals in Nazi Germany were not persecuted systematically, researchers estimate that around 50,000 homosexual men were convicted for ‘unnatural vice’, and between 10 and 30% of this proportion were ultimately sent to concentration camps.”

Homosexuality[edit]
See also: Christianity and homosexuality, Christianity and transgender, Christianity and sexual orientation, The Bible and homosexuality, and Homophobia § Christianity and the Bible

The church is known for its anti-homosexual rhetoric[116][117] and runs numerous web sites such as GodHatesFags.com, GodHatesAmerica.com, and others expressing condemnation of homosexuality.

The Westboro Baptist Church first began protesting homosexuality in 1989 after the discovery of what they referred to as a "tearoom," which is a public lavatory used for homosexual interactions. Since then the Church has protested LGBQT pride events and funerals of those killed from HIV/AIDS. The groups homophobic outlook also has led them to blame homosexuals for tragedies such as the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.[110]

The group bases its work on the belief expressed by its best known slogan and the address of its primary web site, "God Hates Fags", asserting that every tragedy in the world is linked to homosexuality—specifically society's increasing tolerance and acceptance of the so-called homosexual agenda. The group maintains that God hates those who engage in homosexual activity above all other kinds of "sinners"[118] and that homosexuality should be a capital crime.[119]

Their views on homosexuality are partially based on teachings found in the Old Testament, specifically Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, which they interpret to mean that homosexual behavior is detestable, and that homosexuals should be put to death.[118]
