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

Option 1

 * Rainbow Capitalism
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The article provides a decent basis of the subject, however the language is far too complex for a general audience. Additionally, the article contains too many citations and not enough quality paraphrasing which may be adding to the overall complexity of the wording. Even with the excessive sources, there are points in the article that need an actual citation but do not contain any. The article's scope could be improved, there is a big emphasis on the US and Spain but possibly explaining the general trends by region may be better.

 * Drucker, Peter. "Warped: Gay Normality and Queer Anti-Capitalism."

 * Drucker, Peter. "Warped: Gay Normality and Queer Anti-Capitalism."

Option 2

 * Lesbian Avengers
 * Article Evaluation:
 * The primary issue is sources, some of the statements need sources or some of the sources cited lead to broken leads. The lead portion of the article does a poor job of illustrating the body of the article in a concise and clear method. If someone were to read about this topic, they would be exposed to a small and unsourced information about the origins of the group followed up with the media's portrayal or evaluation rather than something more concrete.

Option 3

 * LGBT Rights in El Salvador
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article does not go far enough in outlining the changes in attitudes towards homosexuals in El Salvador. There is no chronological order to the article so a reader may be reading about 2018 in one section and 1882 in another since there is no order. The article would be better by creating a lead that summarizes the past and present state of LGBT rights in El Salvador at the start. The body would essentially do the same just add more detail and nuance. Additionally, there is no mention of the LGBT stances and legislation of Nayib Bukkele, the current president of the country.

Option 4

 * International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association
 * Article Evaluation
 * There is a decent lead portion that emphasizes that the ILGA is a group that has branches worldwide and seeks to bridge some of the gaps between countries. However, it does not seem to go into much depth about the methods taken to bridge such gaps at the organizations earlier stages. While there is some information on the important global work the group does, the history section can be expanded.

Option 5

 * Homophile Movement
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article suffers in its lead, it does not provide a good summary of the content that is explored and discussed in the body. Additionally, the body is far too focused on the homophile movement specific to the United States and less discussion about the different homophile movements in other countries and regions such as Europe. Additionally, the discussion about the decline of the movement is far too brief and does not entirely encapsulate the difficulties the movement had as well as the impact the new gay liberalization movement had on it.
