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

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Transfeminism
 * Transfeminism
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section: The lead section was extremely informative in a concise manner and served as a great overview for the rest of the articles and its sections.
 * Content: The article's content is relevant to the topic and up-to-date but there is definitely more content that could be added and developed being that is a relatively short article. Yes, this article does deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps being that it does address a topic that involved transgender people, a historically underrepresented population.
 * Tone and Balance: It is neutral and non-biased.
 * Sources and References: The sources are scholarly and current, yet I did find one reference that was confusing and unclear because it referenced a subtitle of a piece of media I'm not familiar with and didn't provide a link or any further information.
 * Sources:

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Bratmobile
 * Bratmobile
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section: The lead section is extremely concise and does not provide an efficient overview of the sections of the article.
 * Content: The article's content is relevant and up to date but it focuses soley on the history of the band and their formation. It doesn't cover their music inspirations/process or their mission/values as an artist. It does deal with one of Wikipedia's equity gaps being that it is covering a feminist all-girl riot grrrl band.
 * Tone and Balance: It is neutral and non-biased.
 * Sources and References: The sources are current and varied.
 * Sources

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Feminism in Mexico
 * Feminism in Mexico
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section: The lead section is extremely long and overwhelming at first glance. It would heavily benefit from being cut down and prioritizing its word choices for efficiency. It almost functions as a history section which it shouldn't being that it in the lead section and that's not it's purpose.
 * Content: The article's content is relevant and covers a variety of sections on the topics so is therefore the article is well-balanced and covered.
 * Tone and Balance: It is neutral for the majority of the article, although there is a section that uses language one could find bias or a non-neutral tone when talking about nuns. Here's the quote: "there are some who make a conscious choice against motherhood."
 * Sources and References: Being that there are almost 200 references, it is definitely covered by a variety of authors/publications.
 * Sources

Option 4

 * Article title
 * L7
 * L7 (band)
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead section: The lead section provides a sufficient overview of the article and is a good balance in terms of length.
 * Content: The article's content is well balanced and is a great example of what that balance should like for wikipedia article's on bands, like what we didn't see in the Bratmobile article.
 * Tone and Balance: It is neutral and unbiased for the entire article.
 * Sources and References: Given the relatively short length of the article, it has a variety of sources from different publications and media sources (ie: interviews, articles, etc.)
 * Sources

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Indigenous Feminism
 * Indigenous feminism
 * Article Evaluation
 * Lead Section: The lead section could be shortened for efficiently and to be easier understand and overview by the reader. It does offer a good overview on the sections of the article though.
 * Content: The content is relevant and up-to-date and offers a good balance between the different sections of the article. It dives into a lot of subsections which allows the article to truly grasp the concept.
 * Tone and Balance: The tone is neutral and doesn't have persuasive language that would indicate a bias.
 * Sources and References: The sources could afford to be longer and have more variety but overall they are from scholarly sources and sufficent.
