Option 1

 * Article title
 * Female queen (drag)
 * Article Evaluation
 * I evaluated this article for my last assignment. There are only 2 sections on this page. There is no clear timeline as to the evolution of AFAB drag queens. This page mentions a few notable AFAB queens but not listed/ described in their own section, this is a structural flaw that could be fixed. The lead section discusses the evolution of terminology relating to AFAB queens but there is no detailed section dedicated to when/how/why these terms have changed. Additionally, the main sources used on this page are from the media, such as online magazines. There are not many traditional academic sources.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Gender Advertisment
 * Article Evaluation
 * The first critic I have for this article is the name. There is a disclaimer that this page is not to be confused with 'Gender Advertisements'. I believe that this page is an incredibly important topic, how media advertisements portray gender roles and this impact that these portrayals have on society as well as the impact on how 'successful' the advertisement is. This page, according to the Talk Page, was recently at risk of being deleted and several issues have been flagged that I agree need to be corrected. This article is difficult to read due to the word choices and the flow. I believe that previous authors have identified main topics through their subheadings, however, the actual content does not seem relevant. There is no clear point/ story that flows throughout the article. Initially, the article seems to be about the portrayal of gender norms in media and how that impacts the targeted demographic for those advertisements as well as problematic strategies that have been employed by various industries. This point gets lost very quickly throughout the article and should remain the focus of the article through the discussions of what are the gender norms that are being portrayed, how are these norms being received, and the history/ how advertising has evolved over the years.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Gender Marking in Job Titles
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article seems to be missing a section dedicated to why this change in language in important. There is mention of the debate regarding a change to gender inclusive language and how there has been significant resistance to such a change. However this article does not touch on the historical significance of such changes in language and what benefits would come from gender-neutral language regarding job titles. Specifically, how gendered language relating to employment has contributed to the pay gap and the reinforcement of gender norms. Importantly, this article does include a section for how languages other than English could/have changed to be more gender-inclusive.
