Women's Studies Masculinity GenderQueer
 * Mostly everything was relevant to the topic; there were some parts about gender studies. I was distracted at how wordy some of the sentences were.
 * The article seems to be neutral as it is really just facts about Women's Studies.
 * The citation links I checked do take you to articles that appear to be about the topic.
 * I noticed some of the facts stated in the article didn't have a cited source.
 * There are a lot of conversations going on about this article on the Talk Page. However, some of the conversations lead back to some sort of drama or people just deleting parts of the article that they are talking about. There are also conversations on sources and topics that might not fit in to the topic.
 * The ratings for this article are all over the place; there is a big range of ratings. This article has been part of 4 WikiProjects.
 * In class we have talked more about women's studies itself and Wikipedia talks more about the education part of it.
 * Everything is relevant to the topic. But, the organization of the article distracted me; the order of topics seems to be off to me. Some of the topics also didn't seem to link very well to each other.
 * The article does seem to be neutral as it states facts about masculinity.
 * The citation links I checked work and appear to be related to masculinity.
 * There are a couple of citations missing throughout the article.
 * There are a few conversations on the Talk Page that reference adding or editing sections.
 * The ratings for this article seem to be B-Class to mid-importance. It is also part of 4 WikiProjects.
 * We have just talked about what masculinity is in gender and Wikipedia delves into history and research on it.
 * This article is fairly short, however everything seems to be tied back to the actual topic. The multiple definitions for different terms related to the topic were distracting because there isn't much expansion each definition and there isn't really any flow to the article, it is just definition after definition.
 * The article is neutral as it just shares definitions related to the topic.
 * The citation links worked for a couple of the citations, however they take you back to other wikipedia pages and the other one I checked took you to a very basic website without taking you to an actual article.
 * The few conversations on the Talk Page are about moving the article to a different section of Wikipedia or adding topics.
 * The ratings for this article are the same as being rated C-Class. It is part of 2 WikiProjects.
 * I think we have talked about the same things in class that are covered in this article.
