Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * 2020 Women's March


 * Article Evaluation
 * Rated stub class
 * Needs to be updated
 * Needs more focus on why they marched
 * How COVID impacted these marches (especially the one after RBG died)
 * Relevant to class because women are advocating for their rights, and these marches are influenced by setbacks to women's rights (election of Trump)


 * Sources
 * Perhaps a personal account/interview of what it was like to be there?
 * https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2020/10/17/womens-march-signs/

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Elisabeth Moss


 * Article Evaluation
 * Rated B-class
 * Relevant to our topic- starts in the TV adaptation of The Handmaid's Tale, based on the novel by Margaret Atwood
 * Doesn't have a lot on her role in the TV series The Handmaid's Tale, one of the roles she is best known for
 * A lot of citations are from biography websites or newspaper/magazine articles
 * Each claim appears to have a source
 * Seems to be neutral


 * Sources

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Georgia O'Keeffe


 * Article Evaluation
 * Rated B-class
 * Relevant to class because she is a woman artist and regarded as the "Mother of American modernism", woman artists are typically underrepresented/underrecognized
 * Only has one sentence on her flower paintings looking like vulvas and that controversy- I think it needs a bit more and possibly a subsection on this
 * Change language from female genitalia to vulva (not all females have vulvas, some men have vulvas, make it a gender-neutral term)
 * Good sources (academic)
 * Seems to be neutral


 * Sources
 * https://www.ohmygoddess.org/georgia-okeeffe-didnt-actually-paint-vaginas
 * Stieglitz reference to her artwork as vulvas

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Not an article yet, but Sam Killermann


 * Article Evaluation
 * Author of one of our textbooks
 * Important to WGST because he has worked to increase awareness of different genders and sexualities (Genderbread Person, Gender Unicorn)
 * There is a wikidata page
 * Most of his stuff is creative commons


 * Sources
 * https://www.samkillermann.com/
 * https://www.itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/about/about-sam-killermann/
 * Interviews with Killermann?

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Gamma Rho Lambda


 * Article Evaluation
 * Listed as a start-class article
 * Important to WGST because it moves towards more inclusivity in Greek life, promotes recognition and inclusion of all different types of identities
 * Seems like reliable sources
 * Neutral language
 * Inconsistent information (17 active, 18 active)
 * Odd phrasing in some places
 * May be misrepresented due to being referred to as a gay/lesbian sorority in the article
