Option 1

 * Article title
 * Racism in early American film


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is a pretty broad category that very underdeveloped. While this topic is not specific to any gender, this article could include the differences in portrayals between genders. The tone is also pretty informal and could use some cleaning up, reading more like an essay than a Wikipedia article. It doesn't have to be limited to "African-American", "Arab", and "Asian" portrayals too. A section about Jewish stereotypes could be interesting, particularly with how many Jewish creatives became involved in Hollywood. Mentioning early film's connection to vaudeville would also be particularly useful in the "African-American" section.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Heroine's journey


 * Article Evaluation
 * It could look nicer, like adding a table showing the differences between the two models presented on the page. It also mentions variants on the heroine's journey that isn't detailed on the page. Finding other notable variants could make the article more detailed. Some more detailed background as to why these variants popped up would also work. Overall, it feels a little lacking compared to Campbell's page on the hero's journey.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * LGBT themes in video games


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has categorised the presence of LGBT themes by genres and companies. I think that, rather than genre, it would be better if there was an overview like with "LGBT themes in horror fiction". There's also some tonal issues and some parts as in "Asian games" could be connected to the related article as well as detailing other East Asian countries like in China or Korea.
