Which article are you evaluating?
LGBT culture in Chicago

Why
I have chosen this article because I think I can relate to it the most as I am queer. A question I have about the author and editors of this article are their backgrounds. Are they from Chicago? Are they queer? Are they properly educated on queer issues and communities?

Evaluate the article
This page has good superficial information. There is no deep dive into influential people or spaces, and the information that is given is not well sourced. A lot of the sources are other Wiki pages. Furthermore, this page is clearly outdated. The language that is used has since changed and the word "gayborhood" strikes me the wrong way. They do mention institutions and recreational activities, however, they are organized in a list. Some of these items don't have their own Wiki page so I think it would beneficial to have at least a few sentences describing it. Lastly the talk page on this list is virtually empty. This combined with the outdated language leads me to believe no one has even thought about editing this article in a long time. It feels as though the article was published and then no one touched it. This page is in some serious need of love.
