Commentary on Fun Home by Alison Bechdel
The article is rated as a feature article. Among its best qualities are the conciseness of the plot summary, the number of citations, and some images throughout the article. However, something that could be edited to make the article even better is to reorganize some of the contents into its sections. The last paragraph of the lead talks about the musical production of Fun Home, and that could be a better fit in the last section titled "Musical adaptation". The themes section of the article also seems a bit short for the number of themes that it has. The main themes are addressed, but it seems like it could use some more development on some of the critical points of the book, and the information about Bechdel's background could be put into a separate section. Additionally, the lead section contains a significant amount of information about the books awards, and translations, which could better fit elsewhere.

Evaluation of The Handmaid's Tale
Using the Wikipedia template for book articles, the article for The Handmaid's Tale has a lot of the recommended components, but does not strictly follow the format. The article begins with a lead, and also has sections "summary", "genre", and "reception", which are recommended, but lacks a "background". The article overall is well developed, and has a lot of content, so the criticisms do not lie in lack of content, or in a lack of authors. This page was very much the work of many contributors, as well as many sources (74 sources). One section not mentioned in the template, but found in the article is labeled "characters". This section of the article is extensive, and makes up a large percentage of the contents of the page. Covering all of the main characters and going into depth about a select few, the "characters" section seems almost as a summary of the plot rather than focusing solely on the characters. Because of how extensively the characters are explored, this article could use some revision in its organization of sections (meaning what information goes under which section) by adding some of the information from the "characters" section to the summary, and shortening the "characters" section. Although there is plenty of text on the book, it does not seem as put together or logically organized as it could be. The article is a bit overwhelming to read and it is easy to get lost in the content of the article if the reader has not yet read the book.

Actionable item: In the article for The Handmaid's Tale, there are several sentences throughout the article that can be considered sentences that are based on an opinion that has not been cited. This type of material requires a source to be included in Wikipedia articles. An example of this is the last sentence of the second paragraph in the character section about Offred. This sentence suggests multiple meanings of the main characters name. Although the information seems like it could be citable because of its relevance to the story, it is not cited, and as of right now it is the authors analysis. This sentence could use a "citation needed".

Evaluation of Indigenous Peoples' Day
Content: Everything in the article is relevant to the article's topic, and the page was easy to read. The information is up to date and has been updated recently. There is not much missing from the article in terms of content. Some things could be written more clearly, but for the most part, the article does a good job of covering the material.

Lead Section: The lead section gives a concise overview of the article, and what exactly Indigenous Peoples' Day is, why it started, and a short history of it. It definitely covers the scope of the article, but it omits details like books written about this topic, or the specific dates that states adopted the holiday, both of which are covered later in the article.

Tone: The article does a good job of trying to stay neutral, and stays focused on the holiday itself not the controversy surrounding Christopher Columbus, and his voyages or experiences in the Americas. It is very fact driven, and from reading the article, one cannot clearly find one position favored.

Sources: There are a total of 150 citations in the article, and they seem to be constantly updated-- several from the 1990s, but most from 2017 to today. There could possibly be more citations in the lead/ History section of the article, but nothing is noted "citation needed". The sources are largely credible newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, or New York Times. They do not appear to be biased, but were used to cite when the cities/ states adopted Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Talk: There is not much activity in the Talk section, but there were recent edits to the citations, and the external links were updated. But overall, there is not much conversation going on about the page. The article is rated B-Class, Mid-Importance, and was created as an assignment for a class.

Draft One- Editing ethnic studies article
The underlined text is my editing.

Lead section- citing unsourced claims

Ethnic studies is an academic field that spans the humanities and the social sciences; it emerged as an academic field in the second half of the 20th century partly in response to charges that traditional social science and humanities disciplines such as anthropology, history, literature, sociology, political science, cultural studies, and area studies were conceived from an inherently Eurocentric perspective. Its origin comes before the civil rights era, as early as the 1900s. During this time, educator and historian W. E. B. Du Bois expressed the need for teaching black history.

Schools of thought- adding content to this section.

While early ethnic studies scholarship focused on the repressed histories and identities of various groups in the U.S., the field of study has expanded to encompass transnationalism, comparative race Studies, and postmodernist/poststructuralist critiques. While pioneering thinkers relied on frameworks, theories and methodologies such as those found in the allied fields of sociology, history, literature and film, scholars in the field today utilize multidisciplinary as well as comparative perspectives, increasingly within an international or transnational context. Central to much Ethnic Studies scholarship is understanding how race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, and other categories of difference intersect to shape the lived experiences of people of color, what the legal scholar Kimberle Crenshaw calls intersectionality. Branches of ethnic studies include but are not limited to African American Studies, Asian American Studies, Native American/ Indigenous Peoples' Studies, and Latino/a Studies.

A discipline within ethnic studies is African American Studies, which consist of studying people of African descent and their ideologies, customs, cultures, identities, and practices by drawing on social sciences and the humanities. The changes made to educational and social institutions by the U.S. Civil Rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s can be traced as the origin for the development of African American Studies as a discipline. In general, the changes made to the higher education system to incorporate African American Studies has been led by student activism. When initially created, in many cases to end protests, the African American Studies programs at predominately white universities were underfunded and not highly esteemed. Since the 1970s, African American Studies programs, in general, have become reputable and more concretely established within predominantly white universities. Historically, African American scholars and their works have been used as sources to teach African American Studies. The first historically black college or university to offer a variation of African American Studies was Howard University, located in Washington D.C. Teaching African American Studies has been categorized by two methods: Afrocentric, which relies solely on text by black authors and are led by all-black faculties, and traditional methods, which are more inclusive of non-black authors and are more broad in their studies. Scholars whose work was influential to the development of African American Studies, and whose work is studied include W.E.B. Du Bois, Booker T. Washington, Carter G. Woodson, and George Washington Williams.

Native American Studies, or sometimes named Native Studies or American Indian Studies, is another branch of ethnic studies which was established as a result of university student protest and community activism. The first attempts at establishing some form of Native American Studies came in 1917 from Oklahoma Senator Robert Owen, who called for an 'Indian Studies' program at the University of Oklahoma. Several decades later, the "Red Power" Movement of the 1960s, in a time of high minority and suppressed group activism in the US, sought to get Native American Studies into higher education. San Francisco State University and University of California at Berkeley were the first to adopt these fields into their departments in 1968. The TCU (tribal colleges and universities) movement of the 1960s aimed to expand the teaching of Native American Studies by establishing tribe-run universities to educate the tribe's youth and their communities. Navajo Community College, later renamed Diné College, was the first of these institutions. Curriculum in Native American Studies programs teach the historical, cultural and traditional aspects of both natives of the land in general, as well as that of the American Indians specifically. Figures within Native American Studies include Vine Deloria Jr., an American Indian scholar and rights' activist, Paula Gunn Allen who was a writer and educator of Native American Studies, poet Simon J. Ortiz.

Asian American Studies, different than Asian Studies, is a subfield within ethnic studies, which focuses on the perspectives, history, culture, and traditions of the Asian peoples' in the United States. Asian American Studies originated in the late 1960s at the San Francisco State College (now San Francisco State University) where a student strike led to the development of the program at the school. The historical approach to representing Asia in the United States prior to the introduction of Asian American Studies has been Orientalism which portrays Asia as a polar opposite to anything western or American. To counter this historical representation of ideas, Asian American Studies became one of the interdisciplinary fields that emphasized teaching the perspective, voice, and experience of the minority community. In terms of the ethnicities being studied, there are distinctions between Asian Americans (Chinese, Japanese, Filipino Americans for example) and Pacific Islanders (Samoan Americans), but those groups tend to be grouped as a part of Asian American Studies. Prose, plays, songs, poetry (Haiku) and several other forms of writing were popular during the 1970s as methods of Asian American expression. Among the most read authors were Frank Chin, Momoko Iko, Lawson Fusao Inada, Meena Alexander, Jeffery Paul Chan, and John Okada, who were considered by Asian American scholars to be pioneers of Asian American literature.
