Option 1

 * Article title: Scientific racism
 * Article Evaluation: I think that this article is solidly extensive. While no perpetuator of scientific racism is focused on too much, there are complete descriptions of all of their beliefs. However, what this article is missing is context. I believe it could be more complete if there was a section that described theories for why scientific racism emerged, as well as a section about its lasting global impacts. I also think that it could stand some reorganization, potentially by grouping antecedents more narrowly by region or time period. Information from Medical Apartheid is touched on but I think the topic of the medical exploitation of marginalized groups could be much further explored in its own section.

Option 2

 * Article title: Race and intelligence
 * Article Evaluation: Although this topic is similar to scientific racism, this Wiki page immediately does a better job of providing both historical and modern context for the motivations and impacts of the concept of racialized intelligence "differences." I think that the structure of this Wiki page is good, but that many of the sources are from the late 2000s. I think that an update using more modern studies on intelligence testing could provide important context, particularly given the recent decline in standardized testing scores being required for college admissions.

Option 3

 * Article title: Feminization of poverty
 * Article Evaluation: I think some parts of this Wiki article are very well-developed but many are simply lacking information. There is particularly a whole section on religious depiction of gender roles that seems very underdeveloped, with the section under Christianity being one vague sentence. I feel like the section itself needs to be fleshed out with enough information to warrant separate sections for each religion being discussed. I also think that each religious section needs to be explicitly tied to the religious texts, tenants, or traditions of a given group or else it would be better framed using cultural distinctions instead of religious ones. I think that sexual violence and health are so related that they potentially should be combined into one subsection, and definitely could be expanded upon.

Option 4

 * Article title: Black flight
 * Article Evaluation: This article focuses mainly on defining black flight and describing where it is occurring. However, there is little to no information on this page about the impacts of the use of this term. Many of the citations are from local news coverage simply documenting the shift, without covering any follow-up on those who are moving and the communities they are leaving (including the response of whites moving into even wealthier neighborhoods and the concept of "stayers"). The Wiki article also doesn't touch on segregation/desegregation, and limits any analysis to an increase in black wealth.

Option 5

 * Article title: Gender binary
 * Article Evaluation: This article, compared to the other ones that I've investigated, is rather short. I think it is interesting that it clarifies as being separate from "Sex and gender distinction" because it is only from a sociological perspective. I'm not quite sure I know what they mean by that! However, the papers that are referenced do seem to be quality work, often relating to intersectionality, LGBTQ+, and identities beyond the established gender binary. However, I think this article needs more of a voice: is it tracking the history of the gender binary? Is it exploring how the gender binary is more modernly being broken down? Identities outside of the gender binary are referenced; should they be given a unique section? I think yes, if this is balanced out with historical context of how gender has been used to define and confine.
