Option 1

 * Article title:Compton's Cafeteria riot

 * Sources:Screaming Queens documentary; transgender history

Option 2

 * Article title:Christine Jorgensen
 * Article Evaluation:Has a message about the tone or style not being encyclopedic. Some missing citations.
 * Sources:Transgender history, transgender history article from textbook

Option 3

 * Article title:Elliott Blackstone
 * Article Evaluation:Messages: needs more inline citations, needs additional citations. Can use external links as citations possibly.
 * Sources:Transgender history

Option 4

 * Article title:History of lesbianism in the United States
 * Article Evaluation:The lead is very short, could be expounded on. Some "better source needed". It has a HUGE talk page so there's probably some good things to work with there.
 * Sources:Lesbian pulp fiction, discussion of the lavender scare

Option 5

 * Article title:History of transgender people in the United States
 * Article Evaluation:Bots have some orphaned references that can be looked at. Could probably split 1800-1950 into smaller categories. Could probably split a lot of these. Could add a ton of recent history (not helpful for this class though)
 * Sources:Transgender History
