Option 1

 * Article title
 * Stormé DeLarverie


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has a fair amount of sources and displays a neutral informative tone. It does lacks content in some sections such as the Before Stonewall and Influence on Fashion Sections. The introduction is concise and is an accurate representation of what will be in the article but fails to mention the Influence on Fashion section. Examining the works cited section, the links are relevant (within the last year) and are working. What may be challenging with this article is finding supporting sources that aren't previously cited and finding information to add to the sections that have less information in them.
 * I would like to find some more information on Stormé DeLarverie's background before Stonewall. That section is particularly lacking and may help the flow into the section discussing their involvement in

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Mary Jones (trans woman)


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has an introduction system that outlines the content of the article well, but overall the article is lacking citations and content. Perhaps a succinct biographical section may be beneficial to help provide context for the reader. There is also not much information on their sex work other than the instance when they were arrested for pick pocketing.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Mabel Hampton


 * Article Evaluation
 * The amount of content in each section is roughly even, but the introduction section is a short and does not fully explain the content that the topics will discuss in the article. The citations could definitely use newer citations from scholarly articles which will help with both content and validity of details.

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Fed Up Queers


 * Article Evaluation
 * What stands out most in this article is it has a considerably long introduction section followed by sections that have little substantive information. Better organization and addition of content will help greatly with the readability of this article. While there are a fair amount of citations, newer more relevant sources will help support the topics in this article. Similarly, while clicking through some of the links, I noticed that there are citations that are from primary sources.

 * Looking into the actions that this group has been doing since 2009 could be a helpful development for this article.

Option 5

 * Article title
 * The Erotic


 * Article Evaluation
 * The Erotic is an article that is almost entirely written in a tone of voice that mimics an essay or discussion point. There is significant tone issues that need to be resolved in order to create an article that is neutral and void of any personal interpretation. There are also few sources that lend to the notability of this article. There is a significant portion of this article that is constructed from too few sources to be effective.
