Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * List of African-American ballerinas
 * While this article provides a decent initial list of African-American ballerinas, one of its major drawbacks is that it is incomplete. It appears to have not been updated for quite some time and is missing some prominent Black ballerinas and is lacking citations for some of the dancers mentioned. Additionally, the information it does include is very brief. I would like to elaborate on the dancers already mentioned and add additional dancers to this list.

Option 2

 * History of ballet
 * This article gives a fairly good overview of the history of ballet, includes citations, and is written neutrally. However, it is lacking a thorough description of African American involvement in ballet and is missing some information regarding the current status of ballet. I would highlight African American contributions to ballet (to tackle one of the equity gaps), and I would give a more detailed description of classical ballet in its present form.

Option 3

 * Misty Copeland
 * This article seems very well-researched and complete. It includes citations and is written neutrally. It tackles one of Wikipedia's equity gaps by highlighting a prominent African-American ballet dancer (a historically underrepresented topic).

Option 4

 * Alvin Ailey
 * This article seems well-researched and complete and includes citations. It seems to be written neutrally. It tackles one of WIkipedia's equity gaps by highlighting an African-American dancer and member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Option 5

 * Dance Theatre of Harlem
 * This article gives a good overview of the Dance Theater of Harlem, but it is flagged for potential lack of compliance with the neutral point of view, so further research and editing may need to be done to clean it up. Additionally, it has citations but does not include very many sources.
