Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association
[11/10] The article contains in-depth information about the CCBA existing in New York, Seattle, and a link to information about the association in Vancouver. For San Francisco, it provides information about the Six Companies, but does not discuss them in length. I would like to do more research and expand on these families, their functions, and their accomplishments in San Francisco. Below are some of the articles that I am using: [11/17] Further additions:

I plan to elaborate more on the cultural climate that existed in Chinatown, San Francisco in relation to what they experienced in America: The Six Companies served Chinatown as ambassadors for China by speaking on behalf of the Qing imperial government. They felt that the United States government did not protect their interests. As a result of this, the Six Companies acted as a safety net by providing services for Chinese workers as soon as they arrived to San Francisco. The services provided included: settling disputes, available remittances for relatives in their home villages, and school for the Chinese-language. I added the previous edit into the Wikipedia page for this topic, and I have also expanded on the CCBA's influence during the 1960's:

Immigration in the 1960s
Though the Six Companies discouraged the continuing immigration of Chinese to America, it continued throughout the years. In the 1960s, discrimination began to arise within these Chinese communities. Assimilation of Chinese communities increased through the years, and caused a cultural clash within the Chinese communities between newly-immigrated people and those who were American-born and have assimilated to the culture. Many new Chinese immigrants often came to America without savings because most of their money was spent on their transportation to the Untied States. Many immigrant children were also affected by these conditions, having to work when they are not in school and struggling to learn English. This led to many of the children of new immigrants dropping out and joining gangs. These gangs were often involved in numerous acts of violence that occurred in Chinatown. Though this was the life that was led by many of these gangs, they also asked for help. In 1968 during a Human Rights Commission hearing held at San Francisco, the Wah Ching gang asked for a community clubhouse and a two-year program to help them gain vocational skills and earn high school diplomas. The Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association advised the Human Rights Commission: "They have not shown that they are sorry or that they will change their ways. They have threatened the community. If you give in to this group, you are only going to have another hundred immigrants come in and have a whole new series of threats and demands." As a result of this, the Concerned Chinese for Action and Change was founded in 1968 to emphasize the social issues that existed in their community and to push the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association to make changes in the system.

Peer Review of Brett Reichman Additions
Edited by JuslopezCSUEB: The addition to the article flowed smoothly with the existing information provided, so it did not stick out and still provided new information. The article is neutral and unbiased. The edits are neutral and unbiased, but still adds more information in the article. The information is cited correctly and the links work. The additions are cited correctly. The information is up to date. Overall, the addition to the article was good. If possible, I think putting in an example of his collected works can further support Reichman's position in the politics of gay culture.

''' I plan to talk more about his most recent work, Bros and Brosephines, and discuss more about what his inspiration was in creating that work along with various other artists. The book covers 15 years of work, which can document the various experiences that he and the other artists have had with their perception of sexuality and gender fluidity during that time period.
