Option 1

 * Article title:Homosexuality in Japan
 * Article Evaluation:Does a good job of providing a background and context to this topic-- it takes a neutral stance and gives information on several time periods before discussing how it leads into homosexuality in modern Japan. I think one area where there could be more research done is specifically regarding the 2021 court ruling on same-sex marriage-- there is a brief 2 sentences on the topic but nothing regarding the process.

Option 2

 * Article title:LGBT rights in Tokyo
 * Article Evaluation:The article does an excellent job of addressing all modern-day issues relating to how LGBT rights are treated in Tokyo. However, I think one area where it could do better is with a brief introduction of how these rights have historically been treated in Tokyo specifically, at least dating back to the 20th century. Most of the information is completely current, but I think providing background information could add depth to the article.

Option 3

 * Article title:Sexual Minorities in Japan
 * Article Evaluation:This article overall does a good job of providing background, however, it tends to generalize and not provide enough specific examples regarding each of it's claims. I think that adding more statistics to support claims in the article could make it much more informational to the reader.

Option 4

 * Article title:Americans in Japan
 * Article Evaluation:This article is relatively brief, does not provide much background or context to how or why Americans would live in Japan, and would therefore be a good one to potentially edit.
