Queer of Color Critique.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Queer of Color Critique, closely linked to "Quare" critique, marks an important intervention in the existing discipline of queer theory and of Queer Studies more broadly. As a body of theory dedicated to illuminating, narrating, and giving value to the intersections of race with sexual orientation and gender identity/expression (SOGI), this article is of great use to many scholars who wish to honor non-White queer identifications.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: Well structured and informative though some of the language could be edited to be more succinct. Some of the information may be better suited to other (or new) sections within the article rather than in the lead section itself.

Content: There are pros and cons to the structure of this page as the included sections (history, notable contributors, and intuition) are clearly written with intention yet the content should be careful to not attribute the body of knowledge to so few authors/scholars. Of course, Lorde, Anzaldúa, Crenshaw, and the CRC are important figures/groups in Queer of Color Critique historiography but there should also be mention of the many scholars who have and are continuing the work. This can be done in a way that avoids simply listing "every" queer scholar and that instead acknowledges the multiplicity of contributions.

Tone and Balance: As noted in the header preceding the lead section, the article is written somewhat like a personal essay. I will note that the subject matter perhaps demands an element of prosaic writing which, well at odds with Wikipedia guidelines, should be evaluated accordingly. The final section "Modern day" could greatly benefit from revisions to improve clarity and "objectivity".

Overall Impressions: A very very very good start to an article that has a lot of value in contemporary studies of SOGI and intersectionality. The past contributors have a very strong grasp of the foundation of Queer of Color Critique.
