Option 1

 * Article title
 * LGBT in Puerto Rico


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a start-class article, which means that there is a lot of room for improvement in adding more details into LGBTQ+ life in Puerto Rico. This article is written neutrally, but it lacks quite a bit of detailed explanation, as it is currently just listing things (with proper citations). Most interestingly, I think there can be expansion in the "violence" category of the page and looking at the intersection of how cultural attitudes and political action intersect, particularly how the economic situation plays into violent actions on the island. There can also be expansion beyond just listing the major moments of violence against LGBTQ+ individuals.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * LGBT rights in Puerto Rico


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a start-class article, which means that there is plenty of room for improvement. This article is written neutrally, but it lacks quite a bit of detailed explanation, as it is currently just listing things (with proper citations).The article lists a lot of laws/contradictory actions by politicians and the courts, but does not delve into the impact/aftermath. Again, this offers the opportunity to look at the intersection of how these laws have impacted LGBTQ+ individuals and their economic status on the island.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * LUMA Energy


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a C-class article, which means that the is significant information, but it still could use improvement. Like the other articles above, I would be interested in expanding the "Backlash, Controversy and Protests" category and the intersection of the economic impact the company has had on life--and politics--on the island. This article is written neutrally, with proper citations.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Effects of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a C-class article, which means that the is significant information, but it still could use improvement. This article briefly touches on the economic impact the hurricane had on the island, but mostly from a governmental perspective. It would be pertinent to point out the economic impact on the islanders themselves. This article is written neutrally, with proper citations.
