 * LGBT stereotypes: LGBT stereotypes
 * I evaluated this article due to the relevance it holds within my current class.

Lead


The introductory sentence is clear and describes what the article is going to be about well. There is a content box at the top of the article that allows the reader to preview what is to come. There are plenty of links that allow readers who are confused on definitions to be filled in, all information present is relevant. The details are not "too much" and are relevant to the article.

Lead evaluation


The content is up to date and relevant to the topic. I do not believe any content is missing nor is there anything that does not belong.

Tone and Balance


The article is purely factual and neutral. No claims are heavily biased or seemingly unnecessary. No viewpoints are under or over represented. The article is presented in a purely professional manner that is not meant to persuade, only inform.

Sources and References


There are numerous sources at the bottom, I do believe this is reliable. The sources are thorough, giving the reader plenty of resources to go deeper into any information they want to know more about. Sources are current and links do work.

Organization


The article is clear and concise. I did not find any grammatical errors. The sections are organized very well, making this article much easier to read and for readers to find relevant information they are seeking.

Images and Media


There are a few images included to help aid the reader. All images are captioned and even include links. They do adhere to copyrights. The images are laid out in a tasteful way.

Checking the talk page


Conversations are seemingly article related. Wikipedia discussions may be more open due to the nature of online conversations in general. People are more likely to be negative or ask those awkward questions online rather than in person.

Overall impressions


The article overall has passed my evaluation. I believe it is very well written and informative. I do believe the images could be a little better, but overall, I have few complaints. I also believe it is a complete article.
