Option 1
Article in relation to discrimination against African American nurse
 * Discrimination based on skin color:
 * Article Evaluation:Evaluating this article, the content within this article is relevant to the topic of "Discrimination based on skin color" by giving examples of discrimination due to skin color, such as in business, criminal justice, healthcare, etc., and even includes various other countries that also discriminate. The inclusion of other countries allows the article to be neutral and the tone of the article is presented in a way that does not indicate what side the author prefers. Throughout the article, several claims were made, each backed up with citations that are good sources. Some of the sources are peer reviewed further demonstrating credibility. Furthermore, this article tackles Wikipedia's historically underrepresented groups, including women, Latinos, and Blacks. Moving to the Talk page, the edits include background information to solidify understand, and contextualize the situation. It also states to add the various times where laws discriminated.
 * Sources:The sources I will be using to add to this article an example of discrimination within education and healthcare. Though the article states discrimination from either the student or patient perspective, I would like to include the experience of discrimination from an African American professor or healthcare provider's view to further demonstrate discrimination that also occurs on the other side; the side where African Americans are attempting to do what they can do ignores the discriminatory system. Specifically, I would use an article that I've found and used in my annotated bibliography. The article on education would involve an African American teacher not treated with respect and constantly attempting to establish her credibility, despite having the same educational levels as the other teachers. The article on healthcare would involve an African American nurse not treated with respect and having a difficult time remaining at his job.

Option 2

 * Discrimination based on hair texture
 * Article Evaluation:Evaluating this article, the content within this article is relevant to the topic of "Discrimination based on hair texture", and the content is presented neutrally. Starting with the introduction section, a definition of discrimination based on hair texture is included however, not much was stated about the sections that would follow the introduction. Reading through the article, not all claims have a citation, and some could be revised to include a better citation. However, the citation that was included is reliable with some from peer-reviewed sources. Furthermore, this article tackles Wikipedia's historically underrepresented group, specifically the African Americans who experience racism or discrimination because their hair texture does not conform to the white's texture. Reading through the Talk page, the comments left by others include including the stigma that is associated with those wearing Afros. Information like this allows both the author and future readers to be educated, and this addition to the article can help contextualize.
 * Sources:The source I will be using to add to this article is an example of hair discrimination in the US. While the article does include examples of hair discrimination in Canada, examples of hair discrimination within the US were not included. Thus, I would use a source that I found when writing my Annotated Bibliography that gave an example of hair discrimination, especially concerning the female cashier not receiving her promotion and eventually being fired due to not conforming to the damaging straight hairstyles.::Citation: :Donahoo, Saran, and Asia D. Smith. 2022. “Controlling the Crown: Legal Efforts to Professionalize Black Hair.” Race and Justice 12 (1): 182–203. https://doi.org/10.1177/2153368719888264.

Option 3

 * Racial discrimination
 * Article Evaluation :Evaluating this article, the content within this article is relevant to the topic of "Racial Discrimination". Starting off with the introduction, it included a brief description of what is included as racial discrimination. Moving on, the content of the article is presented in a neutral way to allow the readers to understand what is going without feeling a bias from the author. The article includes many citations, with some are from peer reviewed sources, for the claims they presented with. Furthermore, this article tackles Wikipedia's historically underrepresented groups, including Black, Hispanics, and Asians. Even looking into the Talk page, additional edit suggestions were commented, such as inclusion of racial discrimination in different parts of the world and not just focusing on the United States. Specifically, they gave instances of different types of discrimination, such as housing and health, and the racial discrimination experienced in other countries not just in the United States.
 * Sources:The sources I will be using to add to this article is an example of types of discrimination in the healthcare field. Although the article includes the experience of African American patients and the discrimination they felt, my addition to this article would likely be the discrimination felt by African American providers, such as the nurses. Thus, the source I will be using was the source I found with the Annotated Bibliography where a nurse was punished based on a comment that a black man was on his phone. The importance of the narrative is that he had a difficult time getting into the nursing field yet after getting in, he is struggling to keep his position.::Citation: :Wingfield, Adia Harvey, and Koji Chavez. 2020. “Getting In, Getting Hired, Getting Sideways Looks Organizational Hierarchy and Perceptions of Racial Discrimination.” American Sociological Review 85 (1): 31–57. https://doi.org/10.1177/0003122419894335.

Option 4
Citation:
 * Stereotypes of African Americans:
 * Article Evaluation:Evaluating this article, the content within this article is relevant to the topic of "Stereotypes of African Americans". Starting with the introduction, the definition of stereotypes was given as well as the specific stereotypes referencing African Americans. Moving on, the content of the article is presented in a way to gives facts about this specific topic with no other tones that could give off what the author thought about the topic. The article itself included several citations, some of which are primary sources, and included recent citations. Furthermore, this article tackles Wikipedia's historically underrepresented groups, the African American. This topic itself specifically focuses on the history of stereotypes amongst African Americans and offers different stereotypes that continue today, including media and films. Moving onto the Talk page, some comments include expansion upon certain historical terms.
 * Sources:The source I will be using to add to this article is an example of discrimination in education. This Wikipedia article included a section about education and the difficulty in receiving resources as well as the need to conform by erasing their individuality. This is included in the section due to the stereotypes that African Americans are seen as less intelligent. Thus, the addition I will be adding is specific percentages of African Americans becoming and getting hired as teachers due to difficulty receiving resources and a need to conform to what they were "hired" to do. For example, the article I have demonstrates that African American teachers are hired as part of a diversity board, yet they cannot overly express their diversity thus they must conform to the standards. However, they are also not receiving resources to teach other classes thus they feel stifled.:

Option 5

 * Employment discrimination:
 * Article Evaluation:Evaluating this article, the content within this article is relevant to the topic of "Employment discrimination." The introduction gives a sort of overview and definition of what employment discrimination entails including discrimination based on pregnancy and sexual orientation. A neoclassical economics definition was also given based on the fact that two individuals were equally qualified, yet one receives less opportunity due to some type of discrimination. Moving on, the content of the article provides a neutral point of view. Each definition, case study, experiment, and statistic given provides a neutral viewpoint with no indication of which side the author is preferencing. The article also provides several claims, which are backed up by references and citations. These references and citations include some peer-reviewed articles making them credible. Thus, because this article discusses discrimination towards a group that is part of the minority, this article tackles Wikipedia's historically underrepresented groups.
 * Sources:The sources I will be using to add to this article include an example of African American lawyers vs white lawyers. This Wikipedia article contains a section comparing primary and secondary jobs while pointing out that females occupy the secondary jobs. However, using the article I found when completing the Annotated Bibliography, I would include that African American lawyers are also part of the groups occupying secondary jobs, jobs that do not get job opportunities, or no upward mobility.::Citation: :Dias, Vitor. 2021. “Black Lawyers Matter: Enduring racism in American law firms.” University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform, no. 55 (1): pp. 99–137, https://doi.org/10.36646/mjlr.55.1.black.
